DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Check out this 1923 transit plan commissioned by the Chicago City Council. We use to be insanely ambitious. A network like this would've supported Paris-level population densities.

It's never too late!

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

I just obtained a (red!) shipping label printer. To celebrate & give me a reason to actually use it, I am discounting "Landforms of Michigan" by 25% for the next week (now only $18.77).

I am also celebrating by finally organizing my #cyanotype misprints and having another one of my irregularly-scheduled "pay what you want" sales. Please consider giving a home to one of these less-than-perfect hand-printed pieces. Some have scorch marks!

I found another variant of Perozzo's stereogram, from 1881. Here it is (!) above my Gabaglio 1888 and Brinton 1939. Its colors are beautiful.

This is so cool: Copper, which makes induction stoves with li-ion batteries integrated, is going to build *10,000* of these suckers for use in New York public housing.

Another beautiful atlas saved from recycling. This one appears to be a guide for boating down a river in Belgium? Love the bridge illustrations.
