Beaver Bombers at work?

Today I learnt of the existence of Beavers Bombers:

While one theory suggests they escaped from a nearby nature reserve, it’s far more likely they were released illegally by what’s known in the trade as “beaver bombers”—in other words, wildlife vigilantes who operate under the cover of night

The Danger of Medium

Dave Winer

The danger of Medium is two-fold. Without competition, and right now they don’t have any, we’re right back where we were before the web, only it’s worse. And they haven’t made any comittment to keeping their archive accessible, nor do they give people the ability to move their content off Medium without breaking links.

Roach motel.
