Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

Au of the Clone Au

Danny was a lot younger when he woke up in the labs containment chamber, lets say he's at the tail end of 14 and Tim is (still) 17. Niether is ready for a child or has any idea how to care for one.

Danny still decides to go with the alias Daniel Nightengale so that no one knows his real identity. He still has no idea who trapped him in the thermos or why but he finds himself working with one of Red Hoods gangs because no one else will hire a 14 year old and pay him enough money to raise a kid.

Also because he knew Red Hood and Batman notoriously don't get along so Red Hood could (hopefully) be convinced to give him some protection against the big bad bat if they ever got the chance to meet and he couldn't turn to charity's for help because CPS would 1000% take his baby away from him if they were contacted. So gang life it was. At least his powers made it very easy to do the jobs assigned to him with relative ease, he just had to make sure no one knew he had them.

The biggest difference in the au is that Danny stays in Gotham even after the Batman tries to intimate him into giving up custody. This unfortunately escalates to Danny running through the City of Gotham in the dead of night trying to escape the batman with his literal infant after the Dark Knight tried to take him by force from thier crappy abandoned apartment.

He somehow winds up in Red Hoods territory and the vigilante was very confused as to why this terrified teenager was blubbering and begging him not to take away his baby. Needless to say he and Batman get into an actual brawl once he hears the whole story. Turns out Batman didn't tell anyone Red Robin had a clone baby and was just planning to show up one day with the baby and raise it as thier newest brother.

Jason wasn't about the let that happen and opened com links to everyone else and ratted thier dad out. He had noticed the teenager had escaped with the baby but he didn't care about that at the moment. He needed to beat up his dad.

Red Robin did eventually track Danny down that night and cornered him in an alleyway. He winced at the look of terror on the others face. He didn't think he had ever seen someone so scared of him before. He approached with his hands raised in surrender, speaking softly about how he just wanted to see his son. How he would have loved to meet them both under better circumstances and he had no plans of taking the baby away from thier parent (he wasn't going to mention that the other bats were already referring to the other teenager as the "mother")

This miiight escalate into a global game of "Where's Waldo" with the entirety of the Justice League and its affiliates searching for him. But if there's one thing Danny is good at, its hiding in plain sight.
