Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-31-26
We bring August to a close with one Pook-Emu Bee for the road. 1 | Understanding And Dealing With Kim Jong-Un’s Resilience (Mario Alexis Portella for American Thinker. August 31, 2026.) I attribute Kim Jong-un's resiliance to his looking at everything. 2 | Israel Continues Elimination Campaign Against October 7 Perpetrators and Gaza Terror Commanders (Vijeta Uniyal for Legal Insurrection.

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-15-26
We have a second consecutive warm day in New York City. We also have a third consecutive day of Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Seven Myths About the Iran War (Michael Doran for Tablet Magazine. April 13, 2026.) Good start. Hard to choose just seven. 2. Someone Bought 30 WordPress Plugins and Planted a Backdoor in All of Them. (Austin Ginder for Anchor. April 9, 2026.) WordPress should send notifications to webmasters whenever an installed plugin from the standard WordPress repository changes […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-15-26/

Some custom styling is added to make it look nicer. I also found a way to compile the Python code into C (using Nuitka) to make it more performant, smaller in size. And the AppImage version is also done, except there are still some desktop integration issues, AppImageLaucher and other tools can't integrate it for some reason. Will figure out what's the issue.

I just bought my first ebook outside of the Amazon 'ecosystem'! Tracey Nicholls' An Ethics of Improvisation.
- Found it on https://www.ebook.de/de
- Managed it via Calibre
-Added it to ZoteroIt was *much more expensive* than on Amazon, but we all know how Amazon keeps their prices so incredibly low, therefore supporting an EU-based infrastructure felt like doing the right thing.
So far it seems a wonderful book.
