Classic WebThe Batman Forever website, launched in May 1995 by @zeldman and friends, was cinematically visual. And this was a period *before* HTML tables had arrived! See my writeup for the full story: https://cybercultural.com/p/1995-web-design/

Am I the only one for whom their Garmin does this? After a zone 1-2 ride, it adjusts my FTP down by more than 100W, to lower than the average power of said recovery ride. And this happens regularly.
Randahl FinkThank you to Steve Bannon for giving away the game:
Step 1: Show the people that ICE can kill anybody.
Step 2: Have ICE show up at polling stations in areas where people vote against Trump, so those neighborhoods do not go vote.
Simon WillisonThe CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/the-world-factbook/
kottke.orgThe CIA has deleted the CIA World Factbook (a popular almanac about the countries of the world) from the web. Fuck this. All these assholes do is pillage & destroy. https://apnews.com/article/cia-world-factbook-ratcliffe-trump-fbec61ce16c4b3db59db9cefce0da043
The CIA World Factbook is no more
The CIA is ending the publication of its popular World Factbook reference manual. The agency announced the decision Wednesday but gave no reason for it. It comes as CIA Director John Ratcliffe has promised to return the agency's focus to its core missions. First launched more than 60 years ago as a classified reference manual for CIA officers, the Factbook went on to be a reference manual cited by journalists, trivia experts and college essayists alike. A message seeking comment from the CIA about the decision to end publication of the Factbook was not immediately returned.
