Note to mods, I apologize if this isn't exactly 24 hours since my last post. I am try to keep these link dumps within subjects per day. So XR, Cars, TableTop, comics and such are one day. AI will be another day.

Also, some of the sites won't let me archive them. I can archive some New York Times but not all. So, I have only a link. Others require ghost archive over archive today. I do internet archive as a last ditch effort.

Also, I try to have the archive and the regular link as well. It's a lot of work, but it also means I have a treasure trove of sources and information to use.

On to giving you way too much information.
