Sometimes you just want to look at some colorful "no known copyright" endpapers. Feel free to reuse!

These are all from books published between 1890 and 1930. Scanned by the Bergen Public Library in Norway.

i really need stable income but since jobs aren't real anymore i'm taking any help i can get. i have a ko-fi you can send money to and there's even some pins left to buy there. i have a patreon where i don't have any rewards because i couldn't think of any and nobody has suggested any yet. you can also get a pixel portrait for a very reasonable price. or you can tell your employer about me

Weather.gov is back to the way it's been for a while. Local forecasts are accessible in JS-disable and JS-free browsers again.

I hope they got complaints of the sort I could only send into the void and realized what they undid was a bad decision.

I am so fucking tired of everyone and their mother deciding that reinventing pure and simple HTML in fucking supercomputer-needing slow as script JavaShit is somehow the better future of the World Wide Web.

YOUR WEBSITE IS NOT THE ONLY APPLICATION I NEED TO RUN AT A SINGLE TIME! YOUR WEBSITE SHOULDN'T EVEN **BE** A FUCKING APPLICATION JUST TO SHOW SIMPLE TEXT, YOU TECHBRO-ADMIRING DUMBASSES!

The National Weather Service, one of the few parts of the United States Government that does genuine good and nothing else, now has a website that is functionally inaccessible without a JavaScript-contaminated "Web" browser.

When I talk about the danger of #hacking #history online vanishing, and the importance of the Wayback Machine, this is the kind of jackass decision making I am talking about, among many other things.

Oh, and I witnessed the lightning strike that took out their main transformer. It struck only 1-2 km from me, but I was 40 km away in Socorro. The power in Socorro flickered with the strike. Points west typically fare worse but not this bad.
