Were AI Blog Post Images Ever Cool?
I read an interesting blog post by Panagiotis Vryonis titled AI-generated blog post images are not cool any more. My first thought was "they were never cool." But I read on to see his perspective. While I and many others serve as proof that asserting that "everyone does it" is flippant, he does offer a practical point (from a non-AI skeptic perspective) that enough people use AI images to illustrate blog posts that it has the effect of "look[ing] like a 2000 PowerPoint using animated […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/were-ai-blog-post-images-ever-cool-07-22-26/

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 […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-28-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-19-26
Pook-Emu Bee was off yesterday because it was Newsletter day. But the newsletter is out, and Pook-Emu Bee links are back. 1. FDNY changes policy after clout-chasing models turn NYC fire station into their own sorority house (Tina Moore for the New York Post. April 18, 2026.) The change came after The Post exclusively reported Saturday that two models turned a Greenwich Village fire station into their own personal sorority house — sauntering inside with firefighters, climbing on a […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-19-26/

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-16-26
I was inconsistent in publishing daily Pook-Emu Bee links last week. But I am on the ball this week. If you enjoy the (almost) daily links and commentary, you can also follow via feed. Links from around the web 1. Japanese Pokémon Pokopia player invents fully automated resource-collecting facility, but it involves Pokémon slavery (Carlos "Zoto" Zotomayor for Automation West. March 16, 2026.) This reminds me that I need to play Pokémon Black/White 1 and 2. 2. The Angel Next Door Spoils […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-16-26/

Broken Wheel on Amazon eQuad Cargo Bike in Brooklyn Heights
I was caught out in the rain on a walk in Brooklyn Heights on the afternoon of September 6, 2025. While sheltering under an awning in front of the Bossert Hotel at the corner of Hicks and Montague Streets (just around the corner from where I documented a parked Cybertruck in March), I noticed an Amazon eQuad cargo bike "parked" on the opposite corner. I wrote about Amazon's so-called cargo "bikes" back in April, and as luck would have it some people found that article interesting. I am not […]https://thenewleafjournal.com/broken-wheel-on-amazon-equad-cargo-bike-in-brooklyn-heights/

Back in July, I noticed that now-former NYC Mayoral candidate Jim Walden had Connecticut plates on his car. That proved to be relevant to a story about his attempt to be removed from the ballot.

NYC Open Streets Traffic Cone Shortage
https://thenewleafjournal.com/nyc-open-streets-traffic-cone-shortage-05-13-2025/
I read about a possible traffic cone shortage in Brooklyn. One day earlier, I watched a truck back over and crush two traffic cones in Brooklyn Heights.

One of my favorite places in #Brooklyn is Le French Tart, a French #bakery and grocery store. Today, it had my favorite item: strawberry croissants. The croissants are filled with strawberries and sauce (similar to that served on an old-fashioned sundae) and cream cheese cake filling (think Junior’s Cheesecake). The croissants are incredible—so much so that they are usually sold out. I highly recommend them if you find yourself in #ParkSlope, #CarrollGardens, or #BrooklynHeights.
