I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

@aviationintel.bsky.social and @freddyb-aviation.bsky.social I’ve been looking for some sort of write up or analysis on the opening hours and days of the invasion of Ukraine — a retro on it now that we’re a few years out.
Anything like that you’ve seen or would recommend?

In 1942, at the height of the Second World War, Alfred Eisenstaedt photographed sweethearts bidding each other farewell before the men depart for war, not knowing if they'd ever return. These candid shots give us a glimpse of what average Americans wore.
