content: 2026-05-30 capture run — 54 finds across 18 productive sources
Ten-day gap since the 2026-05-20 sweep. Pool grows from 414 → 468 finds. Productive: Six Colors, MacStories (3), Daring Fireball (3), Brett Terpstra, Eclectic Light, Show HN (5), Wallpaper* Travel (5), AFAR (2), Boutique Homes, Cool Tools (2), Kottke.org (4), Open Culture (5), Quote Investigator (4), A.Word.A.Day, The Marginalian (4), MoMA (3), Recomendo (3), icanhazdadjoke (7). Major blocker: Reddit JSON endpoint is hard-blocked this run — all four r/* sources returned identical 189908-byte HTML payloads regardless of UA or URL pattern. Lost ~15-25 finds. Next-pass action: OAuth Reddit API. Other blockers: TidBITS 403, Web Curios ECONNREFUSED with no recent issue URL resolvable, Things Magazine still on May 15 post (monthly-ish cadence confirmed), Atlas Obscura serving evergreen 2017-era content, A Continuous Lean dormant 9 runs. 5 new source nominees in candidate-sources.md.

description: "Restored amateur footage from summer 1989 walking the West Berlin side of the Wall — desolate, memorial-strewn, with no hint that the collapse was four months away."

Summer 1989: a few amateur cameras walked the Wall's West Berlin face. Memorials to those killed climbing the Wall, cracked concrete, graffiti, almost no foot traffic. The footage was forgotten for decades and recently restored — what's eerie about it is how stable everything looks, four months before the regime fell. Surfaced via Open Culture.
