+There's more than 1000 gTLDs delegated by ICANN. Unfortunately, a lot of owners of various TLDs have
+decided to squat on them, and despite owning them for many years - these are not yet available
+for registration.
+
+Several of the brand gTLDs have been squatted by various corporations as well. The case
+of Amazon.com, Inc. owning `.amazon` when several governments applied for it is well known.
+But there are several smaller examples: `.apple` is owned by a technology company and apple
+farmers can't use it (unlike `.kiwi` which can be used by Kiwi farmers.). Similarly `.mango` and `.orange` 
+are also unavailable for registration, as are `.mint`, `.java`, `.ice`, `.food`, `.eat.
+
+**Amazon** and **Google** own a bunch of such TLDs (40% of the below list) which are blocked from registrations
+by the general public - `.book`, `.ads`, `.buy`, `.cal`, `.call`, `.circle`, `.docs`, `.drive`, `.eat`, 
+`.fast`, `.fire`, `.free`, `.here`, and so on.
+
+It is such a pity that corporations have decided to squat on these TLDs for several years
+, and not allow them for registrations.

+## Methodology
+
+Source of the dataset is [nTLDStats](https://ntldstats.com/tld), with the following TLDs shown:
+
+1. Curated list of BRAND TLDs (_data/fakebrands.yml). Contributions and corrections are welcome.
+2. Unrestricted or Semi-restricted TLDs which are not in "GA".
+
+Domain Counts for nTLDStats are known to be inaccurate, hence approximate ranges are shown instead.
+
+## Why
+
+Here's a list of some cool domains that you can't buy today (with what I'd do with some of them)
+
+1. `bengaluru.cal` - A single events calendar for happenings in Bangalore
+1. `block.analytics` - A petition to enforce DNT via regulation.
+1. `block.ads` - redirects to uBO.
+1. `software.bom` - Publish SBOMs.
+1. `donot.call` - DNT submission
+1. `bigger.data`
+1. `linux.diy` - LFS + NAND2TETRIS speedrun.
+1. `pleasemindthe.gap` - redirect to London metro.
+1. `alphonso.mango` - 
+1. `whatto.read` - fix my older [what-to-read project](https://github.com/captn3m0/what-to-read/), but use OpenLibrary and Bookwyrm instead.
+1. `book.search` - ISBN OpenLibrary search.
+1. `which.song` - Shazam alternative.
+1. `blr.weather` - wttr.in/bengaluru
+1. `much.wow` - RIP Doge
+1. `fuck.you` - no explanation needed
+1. `fuck.you.amazon` - please open registrations on `.zero`, `.you`, `.wow`, `.tushu`, `.tunes`, `.talk`, `.star`, `.smile`, `.spot`, .`silk`, `.secure`, `.save`, `.safe`, `.room`, `.read`, `.prime`, `.pin`, `.pay`, `.now`, `.like`, `.joy`, `.jot`, `.hot`, `.got`, `.free`, `.fire`, `.fast`, `.deal`, `.coupon`, `.circle`, `.call`, `.buy`, `.book`, `.author`, `.amazon`.
+1. `fuck.you.google` - pleas open registrations on `.ads`, `.cal`, `.chrome`, `.docs`, `.drive`, `.eat`, `.hangout`, `.here`, `.map`, `.meet`, `.play`, `.search`.diff --git a/_config.yml b/_config.yml
