New comment by historian1066 in "Mickey Mouse Sells a Bundle"

historian1066 — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 22:11:18 +0000

Author here--thanks for reading. I typically write several essays each day, which I send out in a newsletter and post on the website. I built a workflow to expose one of the essays separately for HN without any paywall or subscription prompt.

It's not as natural to submit a link to HN with three different essays that might all be relevant to this audience.

A city may have offered to rename a suburb when LeBron was at his peak. There already is a Jamestown though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamestown
