Google Blog: Journey to ancient Egypt in Return of the Cat Mummy. “In Return of the Cat Mummy, you play as a cat mummy who has been brought back to life by the cat goddess Bastet. Your mission is to collect the missing items necessary for the pharaoh’s afterlife journey, in a race against time. Throughout the five levels, you’ll be challenged by obstacles inspired from ancient Egyptian life and beliefs in the short time you have back on Earth.”
TwoFortyEightAM: ASK Yearbooks Online – 1970s to Present Day. “The American School of Kuwait have digitized all their yearbooks from the 1970s onwards and published them online.”
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
Engadget: YouTube fan accounts will soon need a disclosure in the channel name or handle. “Those who run fan accounts on YouTube will soon have to make it clear to viewers their channels are not affiliated with the original artist, creator or brand. If it’s not already evident from the channel name or handle that they’re running a fan account, they’ll have to update that information. Adding ‘fan account’ to the channel description alone won’t cut it.”
NiemanLab: Pocket will show users more local news. “On Wednesday, Pocket, which is owned by Mozilla, launched a partnership with the American Journalism Project to bring its adherents, and Firefox browser users, more of a type of story that previously flew under the radar of its recommendation system: local news.”

Alex Hollendar and Jon Robson led the work and generously discussed the effort with us in a thorough, wide-ranging interview that covers the design, development, and processes that went into the project.”
Rest of World: China’s banned online communities have found a new home on Reddit. “Reddit appeals to exiled Chinese internet users because of its community-moderated, interest-based discussion format, which allows for more democratic conversations, and more fringe voices to be heard.”
SECURITY & LEGAL
Bleeping Computer: LastPass users furious after being locked out due to MFA resets. “The company first announced that users might need to log back into their LastPass account and reset their multifactor authentication preference due to planned security upgrades on May 9. However, since then, numerous users have been locked out of their accounts and unable to access their LastPass vault, even after successfully resetting their MFA applications (e.g., LastPass Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator).”
RESEARCH & OPINION
MIT Technology Review: The iPad was meant to revolutionize accessibility. What happened?. “For people who can’t speak, there has been depressingly little innovation in technology that helps them communicate.”
OTHER THINGS I THINK ARE COOL
MAKE: 3D Print A Fractal Vise That Can Hold Odd Shapes. “If you were on YouTube in June 2021, there’s a good chance you were recommended the video ‘Rare Antique Fractal Vise [Restoration]’ by Hand Tool Rescue.
