On May 6, 1944, Germans shot down the #B24 my grandpa was piloting on a secret moonlit mission over Nazi-occupied France. Here’s the story of the hero who intercepted him, #OSS #Marine Peter Ortiz, who Nick Reynolds and I wrote about for @SmithsonianMag ⬇️

Exploring and sharing the *good* that humans are capable of + opportunities to use tech to amplify that good = incredibly underrated
Two years ago, we launched the Possible podcast. We've been honored to host some of the brightest minds in—and beyond—AI to discuss what could happen if everything goes humanity's way. Here are some highlights, as a reminder of where we started and a glimpse of what lies ahead:

Lt. Col Harry T. Stewart Jr—a Tuskegee Airman who flew 43 WWII combat missions as a 20-yr-old—passed away this week, at age 100. He was an American hero. A deeply sharp, kind, humble man. He had faith in this country’s potential. Pls teach your kids about him.
Just 10 of the famed Tuskegee Airmen—the first African-American military aviators—remain today, and retired Lieutenant Colonel Harry T. Stewart, Jr. is one of them #MemorialDay

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis and his efforts went unrecognised for 50 years. Then, in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he had rescued, who were now adults. https://t.co/P7D3RjYBpF

I miss newsstands, and magazines, and magazine covers. I especially miss the magazine covers that stop you in your tracks, like this one, about migrant children.

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)
