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.

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),

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.

A British creator (Jonathan Laramime) using AI to reconstruct the changing face of ancient cities. The Paris series walks the city from 259 BC to today as time-lapse — Roman Lutetia, medieval merchant streets, Haussmann, the Métro. Kevin Kelly recommends it as the rare AI-content channel he keeps returning to. Free on YouTube.
