The Internet Archive has an entire museum dedicated to the weirdest art of the early web. 🖼️ It's called GifCities. Thousands of animated GIFs rescued from the first generation of the internet. Glitter. Dancing. Cats. Strange little loops that somehow survived the decades. 💾 Go find your perfect retro GIF. gifcities.org #ToolsYouCanUse

The clock is ticking down! Judges have until October 19 to submit their scores for #IFComp. The good news is that *anyone* can judge, as long as they rate at least 5 games. And there's still time to contribute to our Colossal Fund! ifcomp.org/
