Last month's Loser Election prompted an X-odus from Elon Musk's crumbling app to Bluesky, which grew by 1 million users per day toward the end of November. Despite the grim news cycles, Bluesky is far from all doom and gloom. It is, in fact, putting the social back in social networking. This week, Katelyn and Christine chat with Faine Greenwood, who created the “Alf hog” meme that caught the attention of everyone from AOC to Jeri Ryan to Jake Tapper in the early days of Bluesky. Katelyn, Christine, and Faine have fun with verbal shitposting and Internet shitposting and give credit to the nascent trans accounts that helped shape Bluesky, which they hope will remain a safe and fun space amid an influx of anti-trans and anti-abortion trolls.

We focus on the latest developments in unmanned aerial systems, from the war in Ukraine to a conference in Washington. Guests include: Faine Greenwood researches and writes about drones and emerging technologies; and Sam Bendett is in the Russia Studies Program at CNA, based in Washington (at the 7:58 mark); And Marcus Weisgerber is Defense One's Global Business Editor (at 23:05).
On this episode of the DefAero Report Daily Podcast, sponsored by Bell, Faine Greenwood of Tarentum Consulting and contributor to Slate and Foreign Policy who is an expert on commercial drones discusses how commercially available systems are being used on the battlefield by both Ukraine and Russia, how they are being used, future capabilities and how governments can better defend themselves against weaponized commercial systems; and Byron Callan of the independent Washington research firm Capital Alpha Partners discusses takeaways from the Association of the United States Army's annual meeting and tradeshow last week, implications of US concerns with China's civil-military fusion strategy, November elections and how they may shape the defense budget outlook, a look ahead to earnings and the week ahead with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.
Guests include: Faine Greenwood, unmanned systems researcher; Samuel Bendett, adviser with CNA Strategy, Policy, Plans and Programs Center, where he is a member of the Russia Studies Program.
The skies over the conflict in Ukraine are filled with identical-looking consumer drones piloted by combatants and civilians alike – aircraft that promise to be a regular feature of war in the future. Few methods exist for telling small drones apart in airspace: combatants, unable to distinguish between drones that are a threat and those that aren't, may direct attacks at civilian drone pilots. In this post, civilian drone researcher and consultant Faine Greenwood argues that the aid world must move quickly to better define where small consumer drones fit into international humanitarian law.
Drones are an increasingly common tool in humanitarian aid, but issues revolving around public perception and trust continue to slow their global rollout during disaster. Humanitarians can use new technologies that make it easier to tell drones apart from one another in flight to justify trust in the technology: they will also benefit from more research into why people distrust drones, and how the data that drones collect is being used in the communities that they serve. In this post, drone technology researcher Faine Greenwood describes how the international aid community and private industry can address the long-standing problem of drone distrust with a combination of improved technology, expanded research into public opinion, and a better grasp of the risks that drone technology may present to the public.
