I think it's safe to assume that Microsoft's AI isn't going to create Skynet given the design suggestions from PowerPoint. I can't tell which is a worse suggestion, Mount Rushmore or a Saturn V rocket.

I am definitely not that cool, but I truly appreciate the kind words and support.
Very proud of my friend @susangrunewald.bsky.social, whose book, From Incarceration to Repatriation, is featured in Foreign Affairs. Aside from being an excellent historian (says the political scientist), she's also the coolest person I know.
From Incarceration to Repatriation: German Prisoners of War in the Soviet Union
Grunewald significantly enhances understandings of the fate of Germans captured by the Soviet Union during World War II.
