    Even scrollbars can trigger nostalgia these days.

    Coder Sébastien Matos has created an interactive webpage that faithfully recreates the scrollbars of various operating systems from the last 30 years (seen via Creative Bloq). Which is your favorite? I’m now hunting for extensions to give my scrollbars an updated (or retro) look.

    People really, really like HBO’s The Last of Us.

    The second episode of the videogame-inspired TV series brought in 5.7 million viewers on Sunday, an impressive 22 percent increase from the premiere’s 4.7 million viewers last week.

    The first episode is also currently tracking 18 million viewers since airing, edging towards HBO’s wildly popular House of the Dragon viewership numbers. Check out our full review for The Last of Us here.

    James Cameron can sleep easy tonight.

    Last year the director claimed that Avatar: The Way of Water was so expensive that it needed to make at least $2 billion to break even. Thankfully, after spending six weeks at the top of the box office charts, the movie has done just that.

    Only six movies have ever passed the $2 billion threshold (without adjusting for inflation), and Cameron has directed half of them.

    Is Trump planning his Twitter return?

    According to Rolling Stone’s sources, the former US president isn’t looking to renew an exclusivity agreement with his own social media platform Truth Social, which requires him to post on the site six hours before any other platform.

    NBC also reported last week that Trump may return to Twitter following his previously-banned account being restored and is already workshopping ideas for his first tweet.
