❌ 23% of news webpages contain at least one broken link

I like the Wayback Machine ... and Sherman and Mr. Peabody, too.
I actually do go way, way, way, back. :-) wudang.com is ancient in internet years. And yes, I do have all my original code and multiple oh way too many versions. Hot Dog! (it was an editing tool)
