**1)** The “Top 100” — not the Morgan Wallen-dominated list, but the internal moniker for Apple’s [**100 highest-ranking leaders**](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-03-26/apple-reality-headset-details-pro-features-top-100-meeting-watch-like-start-lfpgdgdb?cmpid=BBD032623_POWERON&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=230326&utm_campaign=poweron&sref=3Ac2yX40) — reportedly gathered last week for a demonstration of the company’s upcoming mixed-reality headset debuting in June.

**2) **Remote work is an increasingly remote possibility for American workers. According to new Labor Department data, [**72.5% of businesses**](https://www.wsj.com/articles/work-from-home-era-ends-for-millions-of-americans-8bb75367?mod=hp_featst_pos4) had little to no remote work in 2022, up from 60.1% in 2021, and close to the 76.7% pre-pandemic figure.

**3) **Here’s some star bucks for ya: When the $150B International Space Station has to dodge space junk, the cost of an emergency maneuver averages [**$1m per incident**](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-03-23/our-space-junk-problem-just-got-a-cheap-solution?srnd=premium&sref=3Ac2yX40#xj4y7vzkg). As for the commercial satellite industry, evading space junk is considerably cheaper — in some cases just $699 a pop — thanks to satellites’ relatively small size. (Still, satellite operators are on the hook for ~$58m in annual junk-ducking costs.)

**4) **A Massachusetts man was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for [**stealing $8m+ **](https://apnews.com/article/online-romance-scam-money-laundering-540667cafd1f0f426859597a7e2ef2eb?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP_Oddities)through online romance scams. One case involved a Florida woman who he had send over $200k+ to help release him from custody… after an “explosion on his oil rig.”

**5) **A group of MIT researchers doing God’s work — [**testing 1k+ Oreos**](https://www.wsj.com/articles/oreo-cookies-twist-creme-mit-scientists-ce6a3daa?mod=hp_featst_pos5) to understand the best way to separate the cookies such that the creme sticks to both sides — found that, no matter if they’re slowly twisted apart over five minutes or 100x faster than a human, the creme will stick to one wafer ~80% of the time.
