@@ -202,3 +202,10 @@ Goal of this round: expand `gifts` coverage with sources that lean Amazon-purcha
- **No fresh via/h-t credits this run.** The outbound-credit scan found four candidate strings, none usable: `via wowhaus` and `via Andrew Womack` sit in Things Magazine items dated 2025 and earlier (its feed carries 25 items going back years, so both are outside this run's window), `via MeFi` ×2 comes from 2024 items and points at **MetaFilter**, already on the standing backlog, and Brett Terpstra's "hat tip to hexaedre" credits a forum user rather than a publication. Recording the provenance rather than the string, per the 07-22 rule that a nominee this list cannot point back at is worse than no nominee.
- **Backlog is now the story.** Highest-conviction, repeatedly re-surfacing: **The Public Domain Review**, **Michael Tsai**, **MetaFilter**, **Colossal**, **Craig Mod / Ridgeline**, **Nomadico**. 15+ nominees stand unvetted — the twelfth consecutive run past the 10+ nudge threshold. Adding any of them to `sources.json` remains a user decision.
- **Still more urgent than any nomination:** the four Reddit sources remain dark on a one-field credential error (`REDDIT_CLIENT_ID` holds an app name, not Reddit's issued client ID). Fixing that recovers four sources without vetting anything new — see the 2026-07-25 capture-run entry in `daily-finds.log.md`.
### 2026-07-27 capture round
- **Laughing Squid** — https://laughingsquid.com — art/culture/oddity blog running since 1995. Surfaced the way this list prefers: an explicit "Hat Tip" credit on The Awesomer's marbles-in-a-grand-piano post, pointing at Laughing Squid as where the video was first seen. The beat is a close match for the site's music-and-sound, design-and-art and general-delight finds, and it is a primary discoverer rather than a re-aggregator, which is more than can be said for several sources already in rotation. First nomination, not yet a recurrence.
- **Considered and not nominated:** Inconspicuous Consumption (https://inconspicuousconsumption.typepad.com) — tempting, and Cool Tools spotlighted it this run, but it is already captured as a find (`inconspicuous-consumption`, bundled into "Somebody put the whole of it online") and its publishing cadence is far too sporadic to scan on any schedule.
- **Backlog unchanged and still the priority.** Highest-conviction, repeatedly re-surfacing: **The Public Domain Review**, **Michael Tsai**, **MetaFilter**, **Colossal**, **Craig Mod / Ridgeline**, **Nomadico**, plus **Calisphere** from 07-25. 16+ nominees stand unvetted — the thirteenth consecutive run past the 10+ nudge threshold. Adding any of them to `sources.json` remains a user decision.
- **Still more urgent than any nomination:** the four Reddit sources (r/macapps, r/BuyItForLife, r/shortcuts, r/dadjokes) remain dark on a one-field credential error — `REDDIT_CLIENT_ID` holds an app name rather than Reddit's issued client ID. Re-verified again this run: `old.reddit.com/<sub>/.rss` returns a ~300KB "Welcome to Reddit" login wall for all four. Fixing that one field recovers four sources without vetting anything new.
