I came across a blog post by Chris Glass titled Strawberries were on sale. Having not long ago published an article about once purchasing out-of-season cherries on sale. I had to open. While Mr. Glass’ post came as advertised, I found a tip. After purchasing his for-sale strawberries, he soaked them in one part white vinegar […]

I came across a blog post by Chris Glass titled Strawberries were on sale. Having not long ago published an article about once purchasing out-of-season cherries on sale. I had to open. While Mr. Glass’ post came as advertised, I found a tip. After purchasing his for-sale strawberries, he soaked them in one part white vinegar and three parts water for 10 minutes to “extend their freshness.” I have…
We welcome May with a new edition of the daily Pook-Emu Bee links (after a spotty week). It looks nice outside my window… 1. Stripe introduces Link, a digital wallet that autonomous AI agents can use, too (Sarah Perez for TechCrunch. April 30, 2026.) While this is certainly exciting, I would suggest considering not allowing […]

While this is certainly exciting, I would suggest considering not allowing "autonomous AI agents" to make purchases on your behalf.

Dan Lewis' April 21, 2026 "Now I Know" newsletter covered the subject of Garfield (the comic cat) phones washing up in France. It is a good (and well-sourced) story, but here I will focus on his opening sentence: "If you grew up in the 1980s, there's a decent chance you had a novelty telephone in...
Dan Lewis' April 21, 2026 "Now I Know" newsletter covered the subject of Garfield (the comic cat) phones washing up in France. It is a good (and well-sourced) story, but here I will focus on his opening sentence: "If you grew up in the 1980s, there's a decent chance you had a novelty telephone in your home — one shaped like a football, a hamburger, or perhaps a cartoon character." While I was…
My good friend Victor V. Gurbo (who has written some articles for NLJ) was interviewed by Charles Zona for an episode of Seeing Them Live With Charles Zona. I read the interview transcript, but you can listen to the full 1 hour podcast if you prefer listening to reading. Victor covers many topics, beginning with his childhood memories of seeing live music for the first time and concluding with…

Crunchyroll is investigating a potential hack which may have led to the exposure of customer email addresses. As readers of my anime writing on NLJ may know, I am a Crunchyroll subscriber (I have been a paying subscriber since 2016 and have had a free account since ~2010-11). I now laugh. Joke's on the hackers. My Crunchyroll account email is a SimpleLogin alias and I pay my annual subscription…
Brian Windhorst for ESPN wrote 27 straight wins: The most dominant stretch of LeBron James' career, revisiting the 27-game winning streak of the 2012-13 Miami Heat. I followed the NBA closely that year and for that reason remembered a specific game discussed in the article between the Heat and the Boston Celtics (which was my favorite team) on March 18, 2023. Mr. Windhorst noted that the Celtics…
I continue my perfect daily Pook-Emu Bee links stretch. If you enjoy the (almost) daily links and commentary, you can also follow via feed.
It sounds like a great deal on paper but the hidden costs caution me, a resident of Brooklyn, New York City, from pulling the…
At about 4:00 PM on March 12, 2026, a friend of mine who lines nearby in Brooklyn sent me a message on Delta Chat: it's snowing. I turned my head to the right to look out my window. Indeed, it was snowing. The snow would stop and start again. As of 5:12 PM, it is not snowing. This snow in March reminded me of an article I published on NLJ five years ago titled A Brief Mid-March Snow in Brooklyn.…
I missed publishing a set of Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday. But that just means I have more links saved for today. If you enjoy the (almost) daily links and commentary, you can also follow via feed.
If so they should explain this to their local international TV outlet.
Welcome to edition four of my Pook-Emu Bee links of the day. Pokemon turns 30 today (although as an American, its birthday from my perspective is September 28, 1998), so we will need some links for the occasion.
