Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Was not aware of the history regarding the Black Tom 1916 bombing.

-  The biggest pot distributor in California has collapsed. The California system is setting companies up to fail. (HT The View from Lady Lake)

- Most of OpenAI's employees send letter to board tell them to resign or else. Interesting. As Paul Graham put it, "If 95% doesn't count as a vote of no confidence, what number would?"

- Donald Trump and Truth Social file suit for defamation against 20 media companies. The dam of lies is breaking!

  1. That Black Tom story had the explosive weight out by a factor of about 2000.
    Other sources said it was 2 million pounds not tons.
    Still a big bunger though, and interesting that the Germans thought it would be a good idea to piss off the worlds industrial super power.

  2. Prior to WW I the USA was not considered a super power - either economically or militarily by the rest of the world. That all changed after the war. We were truly a sleeping giant back then.
