One very important note on the immense value of the Internet Archive that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

It crawls major newspapers like the New York Times multiple times per day.

For anything other than one of those scrolling updates breaking news pages, you can access it from the Archive usually within an hour or two of it being published. No paywall. You want international news? You got it. Opinion? That too. Recipes? It's all here. Page not yet archived? There's a button for that and now you got it.

There are various paywall-evading extensions and tricks out there, but they don't always work. This does.

Go forth and read the newspaper.

Actually stupid how hard this goes. One of the best tracks I've seen come from the slowcore revivalists, and I have listened to a fucking lot of them. Those quick kick drums (almost breakbeat vibes) and deep-fried guitars help avoid the duster/alex g copycat realm (purgatory for any gen-z slowcore act). Menacing and sad and wonderful — very very good and cool.

The rest of the album kicks ass too. Shoutout to Unrecovery.

pro tip: establish dominance at the record store by asking them where they keep the cassettes.
