🏦 Do you want bankers reviewing the websites you visit and deciding what content should come down?

In TRANSACTION DENIED, author Rainey Reitman examines financial censorship and the growing power of financial institutions to influence speech. ⚖️ What begins in one corner of the internet does not necessarily stay there. The adult industry’s experiences with banks offer a cautionary example of how this power can extend quietly behind the scenes.

📚📱 What happens when rare books meet social media?

In this interview, book historian Allie Alvis reflects on sharing historic books and special collections online and how digital platforms can introduce new audiences to the collections preserved by libraries, archives, and museums.

By combining old books with new technology, social media can help highlight collections, expand access to knowledge, and inspire curiosity about the past.

📞🌐💾 Were you an internet… Prodigy?

Prodigy began in the mid-1980s as a dial-up online world before the open web existed. It offered a curated, menu-driven experience with forums, messaging, games, and early online services.

In the 1990s, it adapted to the internet age, but was eventually overtaken by larger web portals & ISPs, with its remaining services winding down in the 2010s.
