Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 09-02-26

My throat is irrtated, my nose is stuffy, and I have a slight headache. It's ragweed season. Unrelated: It's time for our daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1 | Dating App Adds Feature Allowing Men To Filter Out Women Who Support Lindsay Clancy (The Babylon Bee. April 27, 2026.) An all-timer from Babylon Bee. 2 | Iconic, stained glass ‘Watertower’ above Brooklyn Bridge Park dismantled (Mary Frost for Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Sep. 1, 2026.) I'm a fan of the watertower. I am sure I have a photo of […]

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 07-14-26

Two consecutive editions of Pook-Emu Bee daily links? What in the world is going on here? 1. Sega Dreamcast driver fixes appear in Linux 7.2-rc3 — fabled console remains in favor while iconic computing architectures like i486 fall by the wayside (Mark Tyson for Tom's Hardware. July 12, 2026.) I mainly used my Dreamcast for playing Sonic Adventure, the NBA 2K entries it received, Pen Pen Trilceon, and a little but of Chu Chu Rocket. Missed out on Linux for Dreamcast (in fact I dare say I […]

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 07-13-26

It has been 12 days since I last published "daily" Pook-Emu Bee links due to some combination of being busy and not feeling my best. Both of those blockers exist today, but I have time to squeeze in a new edition. 1. You Can Now Play Virtua Racing On PC, Xbox 360, & Xbox One, Thanks To These Impressive New Emulators (Jack Yarwood for Time Extension. July 13, 2026.) This is very neat. But Virtua Racing will always be a 32X cartridge to me. 2. July 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Height-Weight […]

The Sinking of Victory Chimes

In late 2024, I wrote a research article on Victory Chimes, a historic schooner that was docked at Brooklyn Bridge Park and was in the process of being converted into a restaurant boat. My article perfomed well on NLJ, earning a Wikipedia citation and rating as my 22nd most-visited article of 2025. Granting its past success, it hit a new level beginning around July 4 in a surge which continued through the 7th, rating as our second most-visited article of July 4-10. Unfortunately, my article […]

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-28-26

I have more work ahead of me today. But once again, I refuse to let work stand between me and another edition of our regularly scheduled Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Can an ESPN analyst revive the Scripps Spelling Bee? (Molly Liebergall for Morning Brew. May 28, 2026.) The premise presupposes that the spelling bee needs to have big (it's relative) TV ratings. 2. Hochul tries to dunk on Trump over Knicks fandom — but it totally backfires (Haley Brown, Mark Lungariello, and David Propper for the […]
