Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 10-02-26
October begins two-for-two with Pook-Emu Bee Links before our regularly scheduled Saturday off-day for the Newsletter Leaf Journal. I think they're hoping you get the hint 1 | Japan announces new permanent residency guidelines, foreigners must earn more than average Japanese person (Casey Baseel for SoraNews24. Oct. 1, 2026.) The earning threshold shouldn't be too hard to hit. 10 years residence for non-marriage cases however... They're definitely trying to tell you something. To his […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-10-02-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 09-15-26
My posting out-put has been subpar of late, but today the Pook-Emu Bee links return for the first time since September 10. 1 | 25 Years Since the Worst Day in My Lifetime (Andrew R. Arthur for Center for Immigration Studies. Sep. 11, 2026.) Memories of 9/11 and border/visa security in the ensuing quarter-century. 2 | New World Trade Center is fine but it could have been great (Steve Cuozzo for the New York Post. Sep. 12, 2026.) Given the number of stupid ideas that were floating around in […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-09-15-26/
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 […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-09-02-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 09-01-26
For the first time in about a week (if not a little more), I do not have a tight work deadline. Thus, I present you with a relatively leisurely edition of the Pook-Emu Bee to kick off September. 1 | Expression After Hit By Car (Ojai Raptor Center (via Owl’s in Towels). Oct. 11, 2024.) That raptor has seen more things than the original raptors. 2 | GrapheneOS might skip the Pixel 11 series over the lack of MTE hardware security support (Paul for AlternativeTo. Sep. 1, 2026.) Pixels […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-09-01-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-20-26
I'm a bit late with Pook-Emu Bee links today, but the streak continues. By the way, WordPress's admin area looks different after the latest update. Change in color contrast. I'm not complaining. 1 | Google is buying all of Spirit Airlines’ data to feed its AI models (Chris Isidore for CNN. August 18, 2026.) Looks like AIrline training. I'll let myself out... 2 | Frozen fruit bars recalled nationwide over possible glass contamination (Sophia Compton for Fox Business. August 19, […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-08-20-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-18-26
Another weekday means another set of Poook-Emu Bee links. 1 | Jeanie Buss battling siblings over sale of remaining Lakers shares to new ownership group: reports (Scott Thompson for Fox Business. August 17, 2026.) The unfortunate ramifications of sidelining your siblings for your own benefit. Your siblings, now having little stake in the organization, may decide that turn-about is fair play. 2 | Private Pre-K in Brooklyn Heights: Kinder Prep Montessori’s New 4–5s Program (sponsored post […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-08-18-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-09-26
Pook-Emu Bee links are so real now that we're delivering on Sundays. 1 | Tracking Bees with a Stereo Camera (Al Williams for Hackaday. August 8, 2026.) A fitting entry in light of today's New Leaf Journal review of A Taste of Honey. 2 | RV Steelhead (Tugster: A Waterblog. August 8, 2026.) Survey research of a survey vessel. 3 | Why some tech users are ditching Android for Linux phones (Maya Brooks for Northeast Times. August 6, 2026.) (HT Tux Machines.)

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 […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-07-13-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 07-01-26
I have not published "daily" Pook-Emu Bee links since June 23. But today is the start of a new month. Let us turn over a new leaf in July with the Pook-Emu Bee. 1. Nina Totenberg Sincerely Apologizes For An Inexplicable Error (Josh Blackman at The Volokh Conspiracy. June 30, 2026.) Her explanation for falsely reporting that Justice Alito was retiring makes no sense. But then again, even given her partisan impulses (noted by Mr. Blackman in the article), it is hard to figure what the game […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-07-01-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 06-09-26
I am on a daily Pook-Emu Bee links roll. Today, I keep it doing with a third consecutive edition of the links. 1. Construction of jail in tony NYC nabe turns into potentially deadly ‘clown show’ with failling debris: records, locals (Nicole Rosenthal, Kevin Sheehan, and Katherine Donlevy for the New York Post. June 8, 2026.) Boerum Hill is "tony" but that particular stretch of it was not "tony" even before the monstrous jail construction project (not least because the new jail is […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-06-09-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 06-07-26
I was only able to publish two editions of Pook-Emu Bee links last week. Thus, to make amends, I present a rare Sunday edition of the Pook-Emu Bee. For link fans out there, I include many links in my weekly newsletter. See my June 6, 2026 Newsletter for an example. 1.Bug Fables: Almost, but Not Quite, Paper Mario 3.0 (Wouter Groeneveld at Jefklak's Codex. November 29, 2021.) I never heard of this Paper Mario-inspired RPG, but as a big Paper Mario fan, consider me intrigued. Add it to the […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-06-07-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-20-26
We are having a second consecutive 90+ degree day here in Brooklyn today's Pook-Emu Bee links are warmer than the outside temperatures. Links 1. Google Search as you know it is over (Sarah Perez for TechCrunch. May 19, 2026.) The AIfication of Google Search is concerning but NLJ has been hitting new highs in Google Search despite my disfavoring AI cawlers via .htaccess and robots, so we'll see if it has any effect on my numbers. 2. Japanese indie gay bar management sim Sodomy Fatale will […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-20-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-01-26
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 "autonomous AI agents" to make purchases on your behalf. 2. Pirate RPG game is secretly looting your SSD lifespan — new Windrose patch promises smoother sailing and […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-01-26/

Let us see what is happening around the world wide web with today's collection of Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Brussels launched an age checking app. Hackers say it takes 2 minutes to break it. (Emile Marzolf, Ellen O'Regan, and Eliza Gkritsi for Politico EU. April 17, 2026.) Maybe the EU just wants everyone to be able to check your age. (HT Ambient Irony.) 2. New website tracks wait times for trendy NYC eateries — by paying locals to film diners in line (Marie Pohl and Nicole Rosenthal for […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-21-26/
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 04-16-26
Today marks the 1957th anniversary of the death-by-suicide of the short-reigning Roman Emperor, Otho. I note this because my longest NLJ article, clocking it at more than 18,000 words, is about Otho. Fortunately, I also published some shorter Otho reading. But Otho aside, it is time for today's edition of Pook-Emu Bee links from around the web. 1. Gov. Mikie Sherrill demands FIFA foot the bill for World Cup transportation after reports NJ Transit could inflate train tickets by 775% ( Caitlin […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-16-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-14-26
I did not have much time to engage in my daily "feed reading" this morning. But I will not let that stop me from publishing my daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Justice Department Files Case to Revoke U.S. Citizenship of Mastermind Behind Multimillion-Dollar Tax Fraud Scheme (USCIS. April 13, 2026.) The marriage fraud allegations are a nice addition. It's always who you least expect. 2. Meet the NYC teen behind Brooklyn’s new official pin — coming soon to a lapel near you (Katherine Donlevy […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-14-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-07-26
I have a few new work assignments today (Sad!) but more than enough time (or just enough time) for our regularly scheduled edition of daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. OpenAI calls for robot taxes, a public wealth fund, and a 4-day workweek to tackle AI disruption (Tom Carter for Business Insider. April 6, 2026.) I came across an article recently suggesting ways the big AI players could modify their PR approaches. I said it was impossible. The people running them have no theory of the mind for […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-07-26/

Another non-Saturday day ending in -day means it is time for a new set of Pook-Emu Bee. However, this will be our last Pook-Emu Bee until fun Monday. Tomorrow, Saturday, is newsletter day (which comes with about three Pook-Emu Bee's worth of links from around the web. Sunday is Easter. I figure I can give myself Easter off. So I will be back with more Pook-Emu Bee on Monday. 1. How are we preparing for the Long Web? (Brennan Kenneth Brown. March 1, 2026.) I have backups of my writing. So in […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-03-26/

I have another busy "work" day ahead of me, but I won't let that come between you and today's Pook-Emu Bee daily links collection. 1. yokohama (Kat at Our Adventures in Japan. March 25, 2026.) Spring hasn't fully spring in Yokohama, but we can see in the pretty photographs that it is in the progress of springing. 2. Chuwi responds to CPU fraud, does not replace all affected models (Hannes Brecher for Notebook Check. March 24, 2026.)

I am busy with work today. But today is a day ending in -day that is not Newsletter Satur-day, so I briefly set aside my business to deliver my not-yet-world-famous Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. FCC bans imports of new routers made in other countries, on national security concerns (Brad Linder for Liliputing. March 23, 2026.) My MikroTik hAP ac3 should be supported for a long time. Maybe I will build my next router someday. See my related post from a while back on questions about TP-Link. 2. Sam […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-24-26/

Monday is the beginning of the work week. But it is also Pook-Emu Bee links day. Of course, every day except Newsletter Saturday is Pook-Emu Bee links day... 1. Hiding Behind Pen Names (Jerome Mazandarani for Anime News Network. March 23, 2026.) In this case, changing a pen name to hide a conviction for photographing a 15-year old student in violation of Japan's Child Prostitution and Pornography Act. 2.

The daily Pook-Emu Bee links were off yesterday thanks to Newsletter Leaf Journal 272. But with no new newsletter coming until next Saturday, the Pook-Emu Bee returns. If you enjoy the (almost) daily links and commentary, you can also follow via feed. 1. Awesome Ghibli Howl’s Moving Castle figure is also a puzzle and an organizer (Casey Baseel for SoraNews24. March 22, 2026.) I saw Howl's Moving Castle back in high school after class one day when a friend brought it in and we used one of […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-22-26/

I am workng on a few "work" projects today. But I have enough time for a new set of daily Pook-Emu Bee links. If you enjoy the links, you can follow via feed (although I personally recommend following the main site feed for all of my postings). Links from around the web 1. Iconic 121-year-old NYC Italian restaurant Ferdinando’s gets new life — but with a twist (Nicole Rosenthal for the New York Post. March 4, 2026.) Never been. Sounds like good news.

It is time for more daily links in the second edition of the Pook-Emu Bee. Links from around the web Shiroi Printer – Visual Novel Review (Nicholas A. Ferrell at The New Leaf Journal. February 25, 2026.) I have now published more visual novel reviews in 2026 than I did in all of 2025. Things are looking up.

The Gothamist published an article on the push to ban street vendors from the magisterial Brooklyn Bridge. I am 100% in support of banning street vendors from the Bridge, but I will focus on another point in the report. See the following quote:
But vendors said there are not many legal spots where they can move to. Street vending has become more common as asylum seekers try to make ends meet without work permits.
Setting aside the reporter’s insistence on using asylum seeker as a blanket term for aliens who may or may not have actually applied for asylum, much less have a colorable asylum case, I submit for the record that hawking wares on the street is not a legal solution to not having employment authorization. An alien who is not authorized to engage in employment is not authorized to engage in self-employment (many aliens who are explicitly here on work visas are not eligible to engage in self-employment, see e.g., H-1B specialty occupation workers and O-1 aliens of extraordinary ability). The article quotes a street vendor advocate in the very next paragraph as describing street vendors as small businesses. An alien who lacks employment authorization cannot legally work as a street vendor regardless of his or her desire to make ends meet.

I wrote a detailed analysis of a 1966 Board of Immigration Appeals decision in Matter of Salama, 11 I&N Dec. 536 (BIA 1966). In that post, I worked through the decision and examined the small number of citations to it in precedent decisions. I opined that although I first came across the decision while researching economic persecution precedents, its analysis is too limited to provide much value in that area of asylum law. The Hoppock Law Firm’s description of Salama as holding that “long and pervasive discrimination can amount to persecution” is over the target. However, as I explained in my piece, the limited analysis makes it difficult to discern an easy-to-apply broader principle in Salama.
