Raw link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG4R-d0N-is In this short video I demonstrate my new package for Emacs. It is called buffer-to-pdf. The idea is to save your current buffer to a PDF, while preserving how it looks. This means that your font size, theme, and other visual effects are preserved and written to the PDF. buffer-to-pdf is not meant to be a replacement for elaborate export methods: consider it a quick yet effective way to get a “screen capture” of your Emacs that you can then share as a document. I believe this will be especially useful for academics or people who need to distribute presentation notes on a regular basis. The package is available here: https://github.com/protesilaos/buffer-to-pdf.  ( 1 min )

the first, Prot shares what he considers decent default settings for Emacs. Naturally, I don’t agree with all of them but they’re an excellent start for your init.el. For example, I’d be more likely to prefer Melpa over Gnu Elpa, and I prefer Swiper to Consult but that may be simply because I’m used to Swiper and it works well for me. Most of the rest of his choices I agree with or at least am agnostic about. That’s the thing about Emacs, you get to choose what works best for you. The second quickie is a post from Charles Choi that discusses bulk search and replace commands in Emacs. Choi begins with reviewing regular expression syntax. That’s important because some Emacs command use the builtin regexp syntax and others call various versions of grep, which, of course, have their own regexp syntax. As usual with Choi’s posts there’s a lot there and it requires careful reading but it’s worthwhile. As Choi says, the Emacs bulk search and replace commands make possible workflows that would be harrowing in other editors but they’re also difficult to discover. His post is intended to remedy that.  ( 5 min )

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled against a Louisiana election map, narrowing the Voting Rights Act in what NPR described as “the latest in a series of rulings that have all but gutted the landmark 1965 law.”  Right-wing media figures and outlets celebrated the ruling and described majority-minority districts as “DEI” and “no-whites-allowed” while denying the negative impacts of the decision on Black Americans, with one commentator claiming that it actually “increases the influence of Black voters.”  ( 6 min )

Two of Kansas top judicial officers pay respects to Law Day, an annual national observance of the rule of law started by President Dwight Eisenhower.

After the U.S. Supreme Court severely weakened the federal Voting Rights Act in an April 29 decision, a furious U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned what he called an “illegitimate” conservative majority on the court. “This isn’t even the Roberts Court,” Jeffries said, referring to Chief Justice John Roberts. “It’s the Trump Court.” Democrats […]

President Donald Trump on Thursday moved to capitalize on a U.S. Supreme Court decision weakening the federal Voting Rights Act as he urged one governor to gerrymander his state and praised another for suspending an approaching primary. The court’s decision on Wednesday struck down Louisiana’s congressional map as unconstitutional and empowered other Republican states to break […]

You can slice and dice this data in a bunch of different ways — it’s a fantastic resource. One of the site’s sections is about obituaries. From that data, Alcorn produced this infographic of whose obits contained the highest word count: As you can see, it’s a lot of world leaders, religious leaders, politicians, and white men. There only appear to be five women on the list. Notable non-politicians include Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Muhammad Ali, and Charles Schulz. The whole dashboard is fun/enlightening to explore.

They’re in fact doing something very different. They’re acting as a super legislature, an unelected group of people who have taken it upon themselves to correct Congress. Not when Congress has overstepped its bounds, not when Congress has overstepped its powers, but when the court simply doesn’t like what they’re doing. Typically when we use …  ( 8 min )

Said Buñuel of the film: This film has no intention of attracting nor pleasing the spectator; indeed, on the contrary, it attacks him, to the degree that he belongs to a society with which surrealism is at war.

McDonald's Derpy McFlurry features vanilla soft serve mixed with berry popping boba and wild berry sauce. I bought one for $4.49 (versus $3.99 for the chain's regular McFlurry flavors). The Derpy McFlurry is named after a character from the film KPOP Demon Hunters, and its rather cute visage is featured on the cup. If you like blueberries and cream, that's essentially the flavor of the Derpy McFlurry. There's an enjoyable, sweet blueberry flavor to go with the smooth, creamy vanilla notes. With a similar size, the berry popping boba worked as a stand-in for actual blueberries. While a few were broken, most of the boba were intact and plump for a nice pop of juice/sauce. When it comes down to it, I liked the Derpy McFlurry quite a bit. Partially because McDonald's doesn't often offer any sort of fruit (or fruit-flavored) McFlurry. They don't even have the Strawberry Sundae anymore. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 14 min )

I previously wrote about useful Emacs commands for reading. This allowed me to use j and k to scroll the window up and down instead of going forward or backward a line. I am now using meow for my modal editing needs and have been really happy with it. Meow allows for custom states to be defined, but I have been using a different method recently that takes advantage of the built-in normal and motion states. Meow has a very clever design choice in that when a key is pressed it can translate it to the default emacs binding and call it via a macro. Below is an example of the function meow-next, which I have bound to j. It essentially just executes the key-binding that is stored as the value of meow--kbd-forward-line which happens to be C-n.

Chris Wellons is abandoning Emacs and the Emacs packages he developed one of my first concerns was for Elfeed. It’s the RSS reader that I depend on everyday for my research and news curation. Wellons will be missed for many reasons but his stewardship of Elfeed is the most important one to me. I’m all but certain that Wellons will find good hands in which to entrust the future of Elfeed but as I learned in the Boy Scouts, it pays to be prepared. Serendipitously, I stumbled upon this post from Dave’s Blog that mentions he moved from Elfeed to Gnus. The post is about a solution he found for following links referred to in the RSS summary but I was more interested in his use of Gnus in place of Elfeed for RSS. I’ve considered, off and on, moving to Gnus but I’m really happy with mu4e for email and elfeed for RSS and Network News is, sadly, no longer important so moving to Gnus didn’t make much sense to me. Now, unfortunately, I may have to think about it. Gnus is a powerful complicated program and it seems a shame to use it just for RSS but if worse comes to worst it’s nice to have a mature and reliable fallback available. As I said, I’m pretty sure Elfeed won’t have any problems finding a new maintainer who will sustain its high quality but it’s nice to know that if I need it, there’s a viable, Emacs-based solution available.  ( 5 min )

image-mode happily shows me the picture, but it never tells me the one bit of information I actually want to know, how big is the thing?, width, height, file size, that sort of thing. You can of course bounce out to a shell and run identify or file, but that feels silly when Emacs already has the image loaded So I thought, right, this should be a five minute job, just slap something into the header-line on image-mode-hook and be done with it. And it more or less was, although there was a small wrinkle along the way that is worth mentioning, because it caught me out. Here is what ended up in my init.el: ;; ;; -> image-mode-dimensions ;; (defun my/image-mode-show-dimensions () "Display the open image's pixel dimensions and file size in the header line."

Emacs offers a dizzying number of commands to perform bulk operations on multiple files or buffers. These commands are quite capable and can make trivial the execution of workflows that would be heroic in other editors. Unfortunately these commands are also difficult to discover as most of them are not featured in easily accessible menus. This post calls attention to bulk commands related to search and replace in Emacs and how their discoverability can be improved using the Casual and Anju UI packages. Regular Expressions Before moving forward, let’s talk about how Emacs handles regular expression syntax in search and/or replace commands. Whenever using an Emacs command involving a regular expression (regexp), you will need to understand what kind of regexp syntax is expected. There are la…  ( 4 min )

Fox personalities spent the first quarter of 2026 repeatedly telling viewers that the economy was growing robustly or predicting growth at up to a 5% annualized rate thanks to President Donald Trump’s purported improvements to the American economy during his second term. According to the April 30 advance estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real gross domestic product growth for the first quarter of 2026 came in at just 2% — yet Fox’s initial reaction was to portray this as “fairly strong” economic growth. Fox figures set similar expectations for the fourth quarter of 2025, predicting anywhere from 3% to 5% growth; instead, the advance estimate for that quarter was just 1.4% and has since been revised downward to a mere 0.5%. But even before the final economic growth figures for 2025 were reported, Fox promised that 2026 was “going to be amazing” after the economy fell flat in 2025.  ( 6 min )

In his opinion for the right-wing majority, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that “in considering the constitutionality of a districting scheme, courts must treat partisan advantage like any other race-neutral aim: a constitutionally permissible criterion that States may rely on as desired.” The Court’s decision is consonant with the philosophy, articulated by Kilpatrick in his earlier days, that the state is oppressive when it interferes with the r…  ( 7 min )

newbies/starter kits nudged me to think about how new users can learn what they need in order to get started. In particular, I wanted to think about these questions that newbies might have: Is it worth it? How do I start? Should I use a starter kit? How? I'm stuck, how can I get help? This is overwhelming. How do I make it more manageable? EmacsWiki: EmacsWiki: Emacs Newbie I removed or deemphasized some links that might be confusing for newbies. EmacsWiki: Learning Emacs I reorganized the items and added some more notes. EmacsWiki: Emacs Screencasts I tweaked the beginner information section. I added a section for starter kits. EmacsWiki: Starter Kits I added "Things to know before you start" to help newbies who might not have Git installed or who might not know how to get to the command line. I also organized the starter kits by type. EmacsWiki: Keybinding Guide Replaced the link with Mastering Emacs. I'd add https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Binding-keys-to-commands.html, but it's not responding to me at the moment even though downforeveryoneorjustme says that it's up. People often recommend Emacs News to people who want to learn more about what's going on in the Emacs community, so I added some notes to that one as well. I added an introduction to the Emacs News category page to direct new people to some tips for making the most of Emacs News I moved the e-mail subscription above the RSS feed, since people are more familiar with e-mail as a subscription mechanism. I added a tutorial for setting up newsticker within Emacs. I set up some shorter URLs (sachachua.com/emacs-news, sach.ac/emacs-news, yayemacs.com/news).

this post from Chris Wellons. The TL;DR is that Wellons, after 20 years, is abandoning Emacs for Vim. Folks do that, of course, but Wellons is special because he’s been a prolific author of Emacs packages including the absolute best RSS reader, Elfeed that I use everyday and depend on for my Irreal research. Over the years, I’ve interacted with Wellons several times and always found him to be personable, engaged, and shockingly smart. He’s exactly what you want in an interlocutor: informed but not inextricably bound to his opinions. He was always interested in the truth and willing to be persuaded by facts. By now, this has been all over the Internet and Sacha has already covered it on Emacs News but I wanted to add my appreciation for Wellons and everything he’s done for the Emacs community. I and the rest of our community can only hope that he returns from the dark side but in any event, we wish him well and thank him for all he’s done for us. In the meantime, he still has some packages in need of a new maintainer. There’s a list on his post. If you’re interested, get in touch with him.  ( 5 min )

Throughout the war with Iran, the Trump administration’s messaging on regime change has been murky. Senior officials and President Donald Trump himself have voiced interest in “a change in power” in Tehran, while also suggesting that regime change is not one of the war’s objectives.  Likewise, right-wing media have struggled to articulate a coherent response to the possibility of regime change in Iran, with some encouraging it while others say it's not a goal of the war.  There have also been conflicting opinions about whether regime change has already occurred. Some of the war’s top media supporters have claimed that “this regime lost,” while more critical figures questioned the success of the effort: “We didn't get regime change, we didn't stop them from shooting missiles, and they own the Strait of Hormuz.”  ( 7 min )

McDonald's HUNTR/X Meal is a limited-time combo meal with a KPop Demon Hunters theme that includes a 10-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, Ramyeon McShaker Fries, a medium fountain drink, and a collectible card. The meal cost me $12.19. The meal comes in a special box that's basically an oversized Happy Meal box. It features both HUNTR/X and Saja Boy graphics, so I'm guessing the same box is used for the special breakfast combo as well. The Chicken McNuggets box included themed graphics on the outside and inside: The new items in the combo box (and the focus of this review) are the Demon Sauce and Ramyeon McShaker Fries.
