Not that anyone's likely to read this but I join Bluesky in the hope that it proves to be a place of open, interesting and respectful discourse. Not an act of willful self ghettoisation.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Just been watching Lindsey Graham answering questions. The mineral deal was important because "it gives us an interest worth defending"... read those words again:
"gives us an interest worth defending"
and folks said that the USA was only interested in oil.

Russia will now ramp up it's efforts and my question is how effectively and how quickly can Europe respond. This is not, in some ways has never been, about Ukraine alone and Europe must see that.
