Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- What happened to the actors who were performing the night Lincoln was shot
- Paul Graham - how people grow rich. Interesting economic history I like to revisit from time to time.
- Margaret Mead on what constitutes the start of civilization
- This theory on the Ukraine leaks makes a lot of sense. To me it looks like some inside the security infrastructure of the country want to ensure Biden doesn't seek a second term.
