Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-21-26

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-28-26

There was no Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday because it was newsletter day. But I am back early this Sunday morning (before I go to bed) with the first edition of the Pook-Emu Bee for the new week. 1. The Bird of Paradise you want is NOT the best one to grow in your house (Alex Calamia for News 12 Brooklyn. March 18, 2026.) My first thought was the avian bird of paradise. 2. The Vapidity of Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends (John Hinderaker for Power Line. February 9, 2026.) I concur that even […]

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-24-26

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 […]
