This is still one of the best gags of all time and it's so era-specific
The back page of a Scott Pilgrim book, styled to look like the instructional pages from early English-language Manga releases asking them to flip the book. It reads "STOP. This is the *back* of the book. What do you think you're doing? Who do you think you are? Go to the other end of the book and start at page 1. Your mother and I are very disappointed in you."

Libraries matter. Access matters.

After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

@arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost
“We survived, but it wiped out the library,” Internet Archive’s founder says.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

This week on Quest Quest: @bvigeant.bsky.social and I discuss Maniac Mansion, the LucasArts classic that gave us the SCUMM engine, coined the term "cutscene," and produced an unbelievably bizarre 1990s sitcom.

brazen-starflower-a6e.notion.site/2762dd7a28ff... I made this wrestling move database for my World Wide Wrestling RPG group. Visual examples, descriptions where warranted, notes and thoughts, etc. It could never be exhaustive but it's got a lot!

Wrestling Moves | Notion
Though some moves are marked “Finisher” because of their reputation, any move can be a finishing move if the wrestlers and commentary sell it and it’s consistently protected!
