quote from linked article: Rush simply had little patience for safety; he fired those who tried to delay his project based on safety concerns, and if an idea was fast and easy, he was often willing to try it. Rush at one point told crew to use only four bolts to attach the Titan's 3,500-pound dome to the sub when it was above water, despite the fact that it was made to use 18. He did this because "it took less time." His director of engineering told him that this was a concern but was ignored. In 2021, when the Titan was being hoisted onto the deck of a ship, these bolts all sheared off, and the huge dome crashed down onto the sub's ocean launch platform.

article screenshot of a quote from richard grennell, trump's replacement director of the kennedy center, addressing the touring cast of Les Miserables refusing to perform for trump: Richard Grenell, the president of the institution, said he was not aware of the boycott and that any performer ā€œwho isnā€™t professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, wonā€™t be welcomedā€. He added: ā€œIn fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldnā€™t hire ā€” and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience. The Kennedy Center wants to be a place where people of all political stripes sit next to each other and never ask who someone voted for but instead enjoys a performance together.ā€

quote from "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula Le Guin: The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.

picture of a page from The Left Hand of Kindness ā€œNo, I donā€™t mean love, when I say patriotism. I mean fear. The fear of the other. And its expressions are political, not poetical: hate, rivalry, aggression. It grows in us, that fear. It grows in us year by year. Weā€™ve followed our road too far."

Screenshot of a quote from Steve Albini in a 2021 interview with Chicago Sun-Times: "Iā€™ve lived my whole life without having goals, and I think thatā€™s very valuable, because then I never am in a state of anxiety or dissatisfaction. I never feel I havenā€™t achieved something. I never feel there is something yet to be accomplished. I feel like goals are quite counterproductive. They give you a target, and until the moment you reach that target, you are stressed and unsatisfied, and at the moment you reach that specific target you are aimless and have lost the lodestar of your existence. Iā€™ve always tried to see everything as a process. I want to do things in a certain way that I can be proud of that is sustainable and is fair and equitable to everybody that I interact with. If I can do that, then thatā€™s a success, and success means that I get to do it again tomorrow."
