Turley on “White Time” “Scholarship”
Jonathan Turley, a notable constitutional scholar and law professor, runs a popular law blog where he covers legal matters and other topics. On the matter of other topics, we have “White Time”: Dutch Professor Argues that Time Itself is Racist, a look at some thought-provoking scholarslop coming out of the Netherlands. Before discussing the chronological-racial academic stylings of professor Zakia Essanhaji, Mr. Turley noted that this paper follows in the tradition of Rutgers professor […]

Cal Newport on Big AI “Doom Trolling”
Cal Newport wrote a New York Times op-ed calling on big AI companies to stop "doom trolling" and published a short summary of his argument on his personal website. He specifically criticizes some of the big AI companies for warning (or threatening?) that their technology could spiral out of control and put millions out of...

Cal Newport on Big AI “Doom Trolling”
Cal Newport wrote a New York Times op-ed calling on big AI companies to stop "doom trolling" and published a short summary of his argument on his personal website. He specifically criticizes some of the big AI companies for warning (or threatening?) that their technology could spiral out of control and put millions out of work or destroy society or humanity as we know it. His broad critiques are that the "doom trolling" is disingenuous and has a negative effect on people who read it. I agree […]

Cabbage Sorter’s Review of Shiki (Anime)
I follow the excellent Cabbage Sorter blog for fun articles about and reviews of anime, manga, and novels (not to mention entertaining posts on other subjects). Here, she reviewed the 2010 anime version of Shiki, which is an adaptation of a serialized horror novel of the same name. She notes that she first tried to...

Cabbage Sorter’s Review of Shiki (Anime)
I follow the excellent Cabbage Sorter blog for fun articles about and reviews of anime, manga, and novels (not to mention entertaining posts on other subjects). Here, she reviewed the 2010 anime version of Shiki, which is an adaptation of a serialized horror novel of the same name. She notes that she first tried to watch it in 2013 before dropping it and picking it up again in 2026. 2010 was the first year I recall watching anime simulcasts, but I missed Shiki at the time. I picked it up well […]

Tatakiage Recruits in Sumo
I watched all the matches in the first three grand sumo tournaments of 2026. Because I am following sumo this year, I looked for a couple of sumo blogs to add to my feed collection. One is Tachiai. On June 27, 2026, author Hochiyama covered the lower divisions (which I have not watched in 2026,...

I watched all the matches in the first three grand sumo tournaments of 2026. Because I am following sumo this year, I looked for a couple of sumo blogs to add to my feed collection. One is Tachiai. On June 27, 2026, author Hochiyama covered the lower divisions (which I have not watched in 2026, I only saw the top division matches). In going through some up-and-coming prospects to watch, Hociyama shared a new term he learned: “tatakiage / 叩き上げ”. A tatakiage is a sumo recruit is is […]

Ambient Irony on Amodei vs Altman
I look forward to reading Pixy Misa's Daily News Stuff posts (seven days a week), which feature links to tech and political news with irreverent commentary. Pixy Misa is a pseudonymous Australian server admin (I think) who, in addition to posting on tech and politics, also sometimes posts about anime (sadly not as much of...

Ambient Irony on Amodei vs Altman
I look forward to reading Pixy Misa's Daily News Stuff posts (seven days a week), which feature links to tech and political news with irreverent commentary. Pixy Misa is a pseudonymous Australian server admin (I think) who, in addition to posting on tech and politics, also sometimes posts about anime (sadly not as much of late as before) and Hololive (I don't really understand it). I usually read Pixy Misa's posts on Ace of Spades HQ (where they are syndicated), but they appear first (or […]

The Case Against Share Buttons
Back in The New Leaf Journal's early days, I had share buttons on my articles. I eventually removed them in part because I did not think they added anything useful to my site and in part because of a certain Pinterest incident. I had not thought about them in some time, but I nevertheless read...

The Case Against Share Buttons
Back in The New Leaf Journal's early days, I had share buttons on my articles. I eventually removed them in part because I did not think they added anything useful to my site and in part because of a certain Pinterest incident. I had not thought about them in some time, but I nevertheless read Derek Hanson's Nobody clicks your share buttons with interest (HT Ankur Sethi). Mr. Hanson cited to evidence that few people click share buttons because they can easily share links using native tools […]

How I’ll Take My Coffee
Simon at Firesphere.dev wrote a short post titled If you want to buy me a coffee in response to a hot take post on the IndieWeb against "Buy Me a Coffee" buttons on blogs or capitalism or something. But instead of joining the button debate, he stated what kind of cofee he would like for the benefit of anyone who may be out there looking to buy a coffee. I will join in talking about coffee instead of hot takes. I prefer making my own coffee at home. You can see my set-up in an article I wrote […]

AI Slop About Medieval London
I was linked to a site called Fake History Hunter a few weeks ago. The author, a former historical consultant, uses her site to debunk fake history in media. In AI review: Time Witnessed, she takes apart, frame-by-frame, some AI-generated TikTok monstrosity purportedly placing the influencer in a fictional version of Medieval London conjured by...

AI Slop About Medieval London
I was linked to a site called Fake History Hunter a few weeks ago. The author, a former historical consultant, uses her site to debunk fake history in media. In AI review: Time Witnessed, she takes apart, frame-by-frame, some AI-generated TikTok monstrosity purportedly placing the influencer in a fictional version of Medieval London conjured by one chatbot or another. I find the still frames depressing to look at, setting aside the lack of historical accuracy (I am sure the AI game worlds […]

Turning a Blog Into a Book
Wouter Groeneveld published a blog post on his blog, Brain Baking, titled The Archivist In Me Turned This Blog Into a Book. I have thought about creating a book from the millions of words I have published on The New Leaf Journal, so I read Mr. Groeneveld's article with interest. His project is along the lines of my thinking, although I think I would "adapt" my articles a bit more aggressively. Perhaps you will read a "New Leaf Journal" someday, but the idea is not yet ripe. Until then, enjoy […]

He explained that he had previously held off on implementing webmentions because his particular static site generator set-up had made it complicated. To be sure, reading about the set-up made me happy that webmention support here on ECS requires little more than installing Matthias Pfefferle's […]

A Moka Pot Pen
I came across a blog post on Extra Fine Writing titled Check it out, a weird little pen that looks like a coffee pot. When I saw the headline on The Well Apportioned Desk, I was not sure what to expect. But when I opened the post, I recognized the pen in question as having...
