The Catholic Church requires bishops to submit their resignation to the Pope when they turn 75 and the Pope chooses whether to accept it or not and as much as I hate having to hand anything to the Catholic Church, they are kinda on to something

Remembering the article I read a couple of days ago that turned out to be simple ideas told in complex language. More of a performance piece than an article, really.

3/ Their influx is likely the result of a bounty scheme under which Russian police officers can earn 10,000-100,000 rubles ($125-$1,250) for sending detainees to the war. They are taking the opportunity to force 'undesirables' to sign army contracts.

1/ Russian murderers, rapists and pedophiles are effectively being offered the chance to commit a crime and escape punishment if they sign a military contract before they go to court. The Russian police are also receiving bonuses for sending detainees to join the army. ⬇️

1/ Russia's volunteer soldiers (known as kontraktniki) have evolved significantly since the start of the Ukraine war, with the quality of the soldiers steadily decreasing. A Russian commentary describes how the profile of the Russian contract soldier has changed over time. ⬇️
