We say happy birthday to actor Ron Livingston!

He joined us at this year's #TCMFF for a screening of SWINGERS ('96) where TCM host Ben Mankiewicz took a moment to recognize his memorable work in television and film over the years.

“You’ve Got Mail.” 📬

Founded in 1985 as Quantum Computer Services & renamed America Online in 1991, AOL was synonymous with online services. 🌐

In the ’90s, AOL flooded mailboxes with millions of free trial CDs 💿, introducing an entire generation to email, chat rooms, instant messaging, and the web itself.

Though the dial up era is long gone, AOL persists today as a digital media brand.

In an interview this week, the Barnes & Noble CEO said he has “no problem” selling AI-written books and “We will stock them.”

We couldn’t disagree more.

We carry books BY humans FOR humans.

🎉 To mark the 30th anniversary of the @InternetArchive on May 10, we’re opening the yearbook to revisit the Class of 1996; the sites & organizations that helped shape the early web.

Before feeds, before algorithms, before we assumed everything online would last forever, this was the era that set it all in motion: Yahoo! Quake, Hotmail, The Onion and the archivists preserving it all.

Join us in the coming days as we celebrate THE CLASS OF '96 🎓

We say goodbye to our founder, the visionary Ted Turner. Ted’s love of classic films inspired him to create a channel dedicated to preserving them. He considered TCM one of his greatest accomplishments.

His passion continues to inspire us all as we work to fulfill his mission.

RIP Ask Jeeves. The natural-language search engine founded in 1996 was rebranded as Ask in 2006, and officially shut down on May 1.

Here are the Wayback Machine’s first and last captures of the site.

When websites disappear, the historical record can disappear with them. The @WaybackMachine preserves that history – capturing the web so its past remains accessible.

Miles Davis composed the Elevator to the Gallows (1958) score in a single session while watching the film. After noting a rough cut, he gathered 4 musicians without rehearsal & recorded it in one take, creating a landmark in improvised film scoring.
