Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-08-26
I was busy this morning and forgot to write daily Pook-Emu Bee links. But since tomorrow is newsletter day and there are no Pook-Emu Bee links on newsletter day, I figured I would publish a late-night edition of the Pook-Emu Bee. 1. Can subway rats give New Yorkers hantavirus? Only if you do something extremely disgusting (Natalie O'Neill for the New York Post. May 8, 2026.) I wouldn't put it past the TikTok "creators." 2. Iryna Zarutska Murder Suspect Deemed Incompetent, But Case Will […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-08-26/

Jehovah’s Witnesses Remove WATCHTOWER Sign in Brooklyn (2017)
In the March 12 edition of Pook-Emu Bee, I shared a link to a story about a proposal to turn the former Jehovah's Witness Watchtower buildings on Columbia Heights (between Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO) into apartments. When the Jehovah's Witnesses owned the building, they had a giant red "WATCHTOWER" sign over their headquarters that was something of a landmark in the "Brooklyn skyline." I remember when the WATCHTOWER sign came down in the late 2010s. While reading more news about what may be […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/jw-remove-watchtower-sign-in-brooklyn-2017-03-24-26/

I missed publishing a set of Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday due to an assignment. But that does not mean I was not collecting links. If you enjoy the (almost) daily links and commentary, you can also follow via feed. Links from around the web 1. Former Watchtower buildings in Brooklyn Heights eyed for new housing (Arun Venugopal for Gothamist. March 12, 2026.) I would not describe the buildings as being "Brooklyn Heights," but the one on the hill descending from Brooklyn Heights to DUMBO is […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-12-26/

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/
