@@ -179,3 +179,8 @@ Goal of this round: expand `gifts` coverage with sources that lean Amazon-purcha
- **Bird History** — https://birdhistory.substack.com — niche curation newsletter that compiled a definitive ranked list of the 100 greatest bird names; the kind of single-obsession, taste-driven feed the site favors. Low volume, but distinct. Surfaced by Recomendo.
- **Meanwhile** — https://buttondown.com/meanwhile — curated design/culture links newsletter in the Things Magazine vein; credited "via Meanwhile" as the origin of the Art of Roland-Garros poster archive. Reads a step downstream through Things Magazine, same pattern as MetaFilter/Colossal. Surfaced by Things Magazine.
- **Recurrence note (compounding signal, no new nominee):** **Michael Tsai** (mjtsai.com) surfaced *again* as the "via" credit on Six Colors' WhatCable coverage; **Colossal** re-credited by Kottke ("via colossal"); **MetaFilter** credited twice inside Things Magazine's newest post ("via MeFi"). All three are already on the standing backlog and keep arriving secondhand — the highest-conviction unvetted adds remain **The Public Domain Review, Michael Tsai, MetaFilter, Colossal, Craig Mod / Ridgeline, Nomadico**. 13+ nominees now stand unvetted — worth a vetting pass.
### 2026-07-20 capture round
- **Down the Rabbit Hole** — https://downtherabbithole.beehiiv.com/ — weekly curated newsletter of "psychoactive internet rabbit holes exploring meaning, beauty, and aliveness." Surfaced this run as a mention inside a Cool Tools roundup — the same read-it-a-step-downstream pattern that put MetaFilter, Colossal and Nomadico on this list. Web-curiosity beat, which is where a good share of the site's heroless-but-delightful finds come from.
- **Recurrence note (no new nominees, signal still compounding):** no fresh "via / h-t" credits to new domains this run beyond the above. The standing backlog is unchanged and remains the priority for vetting — highest-conviction, repeatedly re-surfacing: **The Public Domain Review**, **Michael Tsai**, **MetaFilter**, **Colossal**, **Craig Mod / Ridgeline**, **Nomadico**. 14+ nominees now stand unvetted; this is well past the 10+ nudge threshold and is worth a dedicated vetting pass.
