neddyoIf you're in NYC this weekend, special early edition of Freaks Day Out, open to all... Done by 4:30, chill hangs, killer jams, and cool people.
Grab a sandwich from Defonte's and come hang!
Roadskater, Ph.D.Closed out May with a roll to #RedHook #Brooklyn. Not expecting to see much except for the Statue of Liberty, as cruise ships are sailing their summer schedules. But turns out there were catamaran races happening on the bay.
Skated so many miles the past two months that I have finally made up the miles that I did not roll in Jan and Feb, and am now on pace to meet my goal for the year.
Nicholas A. FerrellPook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-18-26
Monday is here. So too after taking the weekend off are my Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Maniac strangles 7-year-old boy in Brooklyn park: cops (Dean Moses for Brooklyn Paper. May 18, 2026.) These sorts of troubling Brooklyn headlines are seldom about places I visit. That is mostly true in this case as well, but "Bush-Clinton Park in the Red Hook Recreation Area" caught my attention. I only walked by the park a few times (it is not where I typically stroll in Red Hook), but one of those walks led […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-18-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-11-26
I took an off-day from Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday. I am busy today, but let us not let that stop us from our daily selection of links from around the web. 1, Putting the phone down: an Osmo Nano workflow (Wojtek Powiertowski at Behind the Viewfinder. May 10, 2026.) That camera is adorable. 2. Latvian defence minister resigns after Ukrainian drones hit oil depot (Brussels Signal. May 11, 2026.) To be fair to the now-former Defense Minister, I am not sure Ukrainian drone strikes would […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-05-11-26/
Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 05-06-26
I missed publishing daily Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday due to a work deadline. But we are back today with nine new links from around the world wide web. 1. Famed Atheist Richard Dawkins — Author of ‘The God Delusion’ — Believes AI Is Conscious (Scott Pinsker for PJ Media. May 5, 2026.) My conscious brain is struggling to decide which of many possible one-liners to go with. Let us keep it simple and just say that I guess Mr. Dawkins is taking a leap of faith in the pages of UnHerd.

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/
N.A. FerrellPhotograph of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church in Red Hook (Brooklyn, NYC). I took this photograph on April 19, 2025 using the GrapheneOS camera app on my Google Pixel 6a, and shared it in a short post commemorating Easter in 2025. One year later, I share it for Easter 2026.
(Aside: I took this photo a few minutes after taking the profile photo I use for NLJ and Emu Cafe Social.)

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-19-26
Another day means more daily Pook-Emu Bee links. If you enjoy the (almost) daily links and commentary, you can also follow via feed. 1. Opera GX Web Browser Released For Linux (Michael Larabel for Phoronix. March 19, 2026.) Awesome! I have been happy on Linux since August 2020, but I have often found myself thinking that my experience would be perfect if I had that unaesthetic spying browser for gamers that the YouTube people promote. 2. Mamdani unveils pared version of hyped ‘Community […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-03-19-26/
