I mean... yes? Exactly that.

for secret reasons, I was thinking about TextDrive/Joyent/Dean Allen/etc, and re-found this on @archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20020721... Which made me think a lot about that very particular early online McSweeney's/Arts & Letters Daily/etc aesthetic. Anyways, I'm still thinking about it.

We couldn’t believe our ears, we wouldn’t have believed it, but Matt assured us that he heard it too. Forty-five years ago. This afternoon, Si pointed me to the Internet Archive bootleg page: archive.org/details/bs19...

this winter was so mild that my sage overwintered and is now enormous, and producing incredible flowers.  I don't think I've ever seen a sage flower before

it’s Spring Sick and you’re the least sick person in your household, so it’s time to make chicken soup for everybody. First, you’re gonna brown a couple bone-in skin-on legs in a big pan

Publishers say they’re blocking the Internet Archive because of AI scraping. But shutting out a nonprofit library won’t stop AI—it will damage the public’s best record of the web.

Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record

Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s begun happening online in the last few months. The Internet Archive—th...

Took the kid to the Lego bulk bins today and he found maybe the two creepiest BeatBits tiles. He's now made a "television" that he's using to identify where in the house ghosts may be haunting doors.

Don't trust these companies to do right by any films, but especially radical ones. Preservation is important. Art and media that challenges the status quo too often appears to be forgotten on purpose by those who have the power to make those decisions.
