He said stepping down was personal. Wonder if it had to do with getting paid...

Any good expat chat rooms out there?

I'm looking into possibly retiring overseas in a couple of years, so I'm looking for a good chat room on the topic. Any thoughts on a good one?

Any Human Resources folks here?

I've been noticing that a lot of job applications require you to both fill out an employment-history form and submit a separate resume, and one just now requires references to be entered on a form and submitted as a separate document.

Is there a practical reason for that, or is it just bureaucracy?

The CNN website's take on the shitshow last night...

Article headlines:

The former president repeated election lies, wouldn’t say if he wants Ukraine to win the war, and was asked about a federal abortion ban and the debt limit

Analysis: CNN faces harsh criticism after Trump unleashed a firehose of lies during its live town hall

Opinion: The chilling reality of Trump

Fact-checking Trump’s CNN town hall in New Hampshire

Haberman says Trump ‘walked himself into some trouble’ at CNN town hall

Analysis: Trump showed outbursts of election denialism, untamed fury, misogynistic comments in CNN’s town hall

Are there any videos of the parade in Moscow?

I've only been able to find a few short clips.

Weird thought this morning about Putin.

Ok, kids, this isn't about a conspiracy, but it's crazy anyway, so put on your tinfoil hats.

Putin was KGB for many years, which means he was devious as hell in addition to being an asshole. And now he's the president of Russia. He has kept this war going for over a year in spite of tremendous losses, and now even Prigozhin is pissed off at him because of his own losses. Putin has replaced a number of generals and other senior officers, and a bunch have been killed in combat. The Russians have recruited from prisons, and now, IIRC, they're talking a general draft.

So, thinking back to the "cleansings" that Lenin and Stalin did in the country, I said to myself, what if that's what Putin is doing, sending people out to get killed by others so "it doesn't look" like he's the one doing it? According to reports, training is almost nonexistent, supplies are awful, ammo is either depleted or being withheld, and front-line soldiers are shot if they try to retreat.

I know it doesn't make sense (and I know what I'm setting myself up for ), but in this day and age so many things don't.

I just did a search for mass shootings in 2023

and came up with the Gun Violence Archive. According to the maps page, most mass shootings have been in red states, including Texas and Florida. A lot of other types of shootings were also in red states.

Gee, what a coincidence.

[edit] And a good piece about the archive itself:

Democrats under investigation vs repukes under investigation.

I had a thought this morning... is there a list somewhere of Democrats who are either under investigation or defendants in lawsuits vs repukes who are? Based on the news recently, I have to guess a lot more repukes.

Gawd! I just went on Huffpost

and there are pictures of tfg and the prick who got fired all over the place. Yuck!

Okay, I'm done reading about that prick getting fired.

No more for me. Not worth my time. Bye, Felicia.

And rot in hell.
