How this works. Every outbound link on this site that supports a factual claim gets a local copy here. Search queries, video platforms, live data APIs, and our own services are excluded — there is nothing stable to capture. Each copy is sanitized (no third-party scripts, frames, or inline handlers) and stamped with its source URL and capture date. The manifest lives at /lalc/sources.json.
