I'm just loving following @simon's hashtag, so here's a of mine.

@stryker posts an image from the Library of Congress's archive of the old FSA photos, but the catch is that it only posts the ones that were "destroyed" (literally hole-punched through) by the the mercurial head of the FSA photo project, Roy Stryker.

It looks like this.

@jsbw I love this so much

How are you selecting for photos with the hole punch - are they tagged somewhere, or are you manually picking them, or do you have a fancy AI thing going on?

@simon It turns out that the Library of Congress has a super easy API to use, and they helpfully tagged all the ones Stryker destroyed.

Thanks for starting this tag! (Also I'm a huge fan of Datasette, so thanks for that, too!)

@jsbw if you're using it for anything at WSJ (or outside of that) I'd love to talk about it - always really keen to learn how it's being applied + what I can do to make it more useful
