Profile checks out. todays.pointless.click looks good :D I started https://furious.engineering/ to add random stuff, but so far there's only one which shows the spanish equivalent of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

I think these ones could be added to awesome-falsehoods. I'd love a list that was more centered on this idea, but for now awesome-falsehoods would probably be the best place for it. Maybe a design or visual category?

I had hoped that the internet, beyond the 90s, would be a place where almost everyone has a webpage like ours populated with whatever it is the individual decided was noteworthy.

To an extent it's come true in a small subset. But discovery is the hard part. Right now discovery leads you to social media pages full of, for the most part, a low budget substitute for air.

I track homemade weblogs and pages - there's actually a lot still going if you know where to look. https://kickscondor.com

Thank you for your links, I'll cover them soon in my next 'href hunt'.

Oh God your website is so crusty and 90s. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

I too love your website thank you

I feel like everyone running a webpage/blog like that should have a somewhat standardised page crosslinking to pages/blogs that person likes to keep track off

Reminds me a bit of the old web ring concept. I like your idea better.

Ya, I also assumed, hoped?, the 80s quirkiness (weird news, dr demento, archie mcphees, zines, and other earnest trivias) would have flourished. Making the jump from BBSes to the web.

Instead we got ad funded autobot outrage factories.

why do you have male/female (primero/primera) and then female/male (1ª/1º)?

Oops, I got it backwards. I'll fix it when i get a chance. Thanks for noticing!

Just to nitpick: grammatical genders are "masculine" and "feminine" (not male and female)
