Three things I can't shut up about

Hi. I made this site because there are three things I think about more than is probably normal.

The first is history. Not the textbook kind. The weird, specific kind. The kind where a guy runs carrier pigeons across the English Channel in 1850 and accidentally builds a news empire. Every headline that looks unprecedented today has happened before. Usually more than once. Usually with worse technology.

The second is making money. Not the cringe hustle version of that sentence. I mean the quiet version. Markets are the most honest thing on earth. They don't care what you think. They care what you bet. A chart is closer to a diary than a spreadsheet, once you know what to look for.

The third is timelines. When you put everything on the same axis, telegraphs, radio, internet, AI, the pattern jumps out. Every generation gets its news faster. The gap between 'it happened' and 'the price moved' keeps shrinking. That's the whole site. That's the thesis.

So this is Too Late. Eight timelines tracing how information and money compressed. A live feed that pins market-moving tweets to the minute they hit the tape and keeps them forever. A compression curve that still hasn't flattened. Fifteen short essays on the people and accidents behind all of it.

It's free. No signup. Read whatever speaks to you.

If you like any of it, send it to one person who'd get it. That's the only thing that matters.
