Look, I don’t want to tell you how to do your job. I know you’re making a sincere effort to learn about my background. You’re here to assess my strengths and weaknesses. You’re trained to evaluate how I might fit into your fast-paced, team-oriented culture. You need to determine whether or not my résumé was full of lies. I just think a much more effective way to get to know me and my capabilities than asking a series of the same old behavioral questions and case studies might be to ask me to rank my favorite Cheers characters in order.
I know this seems risky on my part. Obviously, for many people, hiring someone on the wrong side of the Diane-Rebecca Divide is a nonstarter. But I think the question is more what can you learn about me from the fact that I have the courage to tell you I rank Diane higher based on how she propelled 90 percent of the plots forward in those early seasons. At the same time, I could expound on how Rebecca showed up at a time when the show had done everything they could with Diane and needed a change. This might give you a good idea of my understanding of team dynamics, not to mention where I developed a keen sense of when to pivot.
Last year, the IRS Martinsburg site was “viewed as a high priority.” Now, under the Trump administration, it's “functionally obsolete.”

Let’s start with this: Ukraine is losing the war, and the longer it goes on the worse the peace deal will be. I absolutely agree with Trump that there needs to be a peace deal, and soon.
But the rhetoric coming out of the Trump administration and its proxies suggests that Ukraine owes America nothing, and that indeed, Ukraine owes America for all its support. This sounds reasonable, on the face, but only if you don’t know any history.
Let’s start with the 2014 Maidan protests which overthrew the government. They were a color revolution, heavily supported by the Americans and Europeans. Say what you will about Yanukovych, he was the elected President. There’s decent evidence that the sniper massacre was done by Maidan itself (see this academic study), and post coup, Ukraine was essentially run by Victoria Nuland.
“He’s threatening an entire population with death — what else is that other than genocidal?” one expert told The Intercept.

It is with immense pleasure that I, King Éomer of Rohan, announce that Helm’s Deep and its fortress shall today revert to the original name of Sauron’s Deep.
No, my loyal servants, not that Sauron.
Rest assured that our beloved stronghold is not named after the evil dark lord hell-bent on destroying Middle-earth, but after a beloved Elven soldier named Elduin Sauron from the Battle of Mirkwood, or something.
This brave warrior, whose name we definitely didn’t spend hours looking for in various scrolls until we found one that matched, sacrificed his life and fought honorably against the forces of Dol Guldur. With this official renaming, we will now be able to celebrate the illustrious military career of the mighty Sauron (again, not that one) in all his glory.
