Right-wing evangelical Christian media personalities — including figures who claim to share prophecies, or messages from God, with their audiences — are hailing “Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving,” an all-day prayer festival on the National Mall. They are celebrating that the government is going to “rededicate the land to the Lord and build an altar to almighty God,” calling it “the culmination” of “three to four decades of work to see this happening in the public arena,” and saying the event is “like the prodigal son where he's returning to God.” Rededicate 250, scheduled to take place on May 17, will reportedly feature “a slate of political, military and religious leaders” and “will be rooted in giving thanks for God’s presence” and “asking for his guidance for the next 250.” Notably, the religious leaders scheduled to speak appear to be “mostly evangelical” and the speaker list does not feature any “leaders from mainline Christian or historically Black denominations,” or “representatives from other non-Christian faiths, such as Islam or Indigenous spiritual traditions.” Republican leaders scheduled to speak include Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). The event comes at a fraught moment in Trump’s relationship with some segments of Christians — especially Catholics — while some journalists and religion scholars have noted how “charismatic Christian prophets have gained new influence since becoming identified with” Trump.  ( 10 min )

Prot as an Emacs coach to help with doing review passes over my upcoming ffs package as I work on polishing and documenting it in preparation for offering it for inclusion in GNU ELPA. Today we had our third session where we started by reviewing and talking about my recent changes to ffs, then ventured to other Emacs-related topics with the overarching theme of the flexibility and extensibility of GNU Emacs, including display-buffer-alist, keyboard macros, defining a custom ox-bhtml Org export backend derived from Org's ox-html for ultimate flexibility when exporting my site's pages from Org to HTML, Org capture, plain text files and Emacs's diary and how it compares to org-agenda, and keeping a journal with the help of Emacs. Here is the video recording of our session, which I share with Prot's permission: Sorry, this embedded video will not work, because your web browser does not support HTML5 video. [ please watch the video in your favourite streaming media player ]​ You can view or download the full-resolution video from the Internet Archive. Lastly, here is the snippet Prot shared for having Isearch treat space as a wildcard, helpful for more easily matching multiple parts of a line: (setq search-whitespace-regexp ".*?") (setq isearch-lax-whitespace t) (setq isearch-regexp-lax-whitespace nil)  ( 1 min )

Yesterday I met with Amin Bandali to talk about Emacs. Amin asked me if he could record the session, which I agreed to. The video is available on Amin’s website: https://kelar.org/~bandali/gnu/emacs/ffs-emacs-ext-prot.html. We started with a review of the latest changes to the ffs package that Amin has been developing. We had looked into it before and wanted to check on its current state. Amin then asked me about the display-buffer-alist, which I had mentioned before. To me, this is the single most important variable for making Emacs feel more like your own. The reason is that it allows you to control the placement of buffers to match your expectations. I demonstrated some of the main ideas. Another nice little feature is the built-in isearch. I explained how it is especially helpful while recording keyboard macros. Though it is nice to use in general. One tweak for it is to display a counter with its matches. Another is to change how it treats spaces, so that it can match any character in-between. This is not as flexible as, say, consult-line (from the consult package) when combined with vertico and orderless. Though it still has its uses. [ I have lots of little extras for isearch, but those should be good for most users. ] Amin told me about rediscovering the value of Org in the context of statically generating his website. He showed me the custom Org HTML export backend he has been working on. Org has so many nice features which can be used independent of each other. In this light, we also discussed the diary compared to the Org agenda. Find all of Amin’s publications on his website: https://kelar.org/~bandali/.  ( 1 min )

the choice between Bazaar and Git as the new version control system for Emacs. Twenty years ago, Emacs was still using CVS, a venerable RCS that was well past its sell date.. It was clear to everyone that a new system was needed. The question was which one. The two contenders were Bazaar and Git. On the technical merits the choice was clear. Git was faster and more reliable and most, if not all, of the developers wanted to move to it. But there were political considerations. Bazaar was a GNU project and Git was not. RMS felt strongly that the GNU project should support its own applications and insisted that Bazaar be used and given a chance to improve. It was maintained by Canonical but they eventually abandoned the effort. Even though the development was stalled and error reports were piling up unresolved for years, RMS insisted on staying the course. The saga would probably still be going on were it not for Eric Raymond (ESR). He had been working for some time on a utility to import various RCS systems into Git while maintaining whatever metadata the old system offered. At one point he decided to convert Emacs to Git. It was a particularly difficult problem because there was more than one source RCS in play and because some of the records were old and incomplete. Nonetheless, ESR managed the conversion and in 2014 announced that he had the conversion scripts ready and was set to go. In November 2014 he ran his scripts and suddenly Emacs was available as a Git repo. The developers started using it and the battle was over.  ( 5 min )

Shake Shack's Mac & Cheese features cavatappi pasta and a creamy sauce made with Cheddar and American cheeses, topped with toasted breadcrumbs. An order cost me $5.99. The pasta was tender and held the sauce well. Even if it didn't, it wouldn't have mattered as the sauce-to-pasta ratio in my particular cup skewed heavily in favor of the sauce. The sauce was creamy and smooth with a definite American cheese flavor to it. The toasted breadcrumbs added a nice crispiness, but were slightly stale (this is one of those things that probably varies quite a bit). Overall, Shake Shack's Mac & Cheese was nice enough, but I prefer the more cheesy, less saucy variety of mac and cheese. If you grew up eating Kraft Mac & Cheese (I did not), this is an elevated take on that might be right down your alley. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 15 min )

PBS surpassed every other broadcast TV news network in coverage of LGBTQ issues last year, accounting for 66% of weekday evening news segments about the topic and airing over 4 times the coverage in minutes of CBS, NBC, and ABC combined. Discussion across networks frequently mentioned legislative or policy challenges to LGBTQ rights and subjects related to the transgender community, but networks largely failed to feature trans voices in their coverage. LGBTQ rights faced unprecedented rollbacks at the federal level in 2025, with trans and gender-nonconforming Americans particularly impacted. President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders in the first weeks of his second term that undermined the legal recognition of trans people, as well as their ability to serve in the military, access gender-affirming care, and play on sports teams that align with their lived gender.  These executive orders followed a recent surge of anti-LGBTQ legislation at the state level, and legislators continued to challenge LGBTQ rights in 2025, with an emphasis on restrictions targeting trans Americans. Some bills faced legal scrutiny, including at the highest level, where the Supreme Court upheld a 2023 Tennessee ban on youth gender-affirming care and ruled with Maryland parents aiming to opt their children out of LGBTQ-inclusive public school lessons. Meanwhile, broadcast networks experienced significant pressures. ABC and CBS faced legal challenges from Trump or his administration in late 2024 and 2025. The president also cut federal funding to PBS and threatened to revoke NBC’s and ABC's licensing. Nevertheless, according to a 2025 LA Times report, an estimated 18 million people watched ABC's, CBS', or NBC's evening news program every night, and the most recent data available shows that nearly 2 million people watched PBS' News Hour nightly in 2022.  ( 8 min )

After starting to make use of the GitLab/Codeberg sync approach for various repositories, I found that my muscle memory in Magit was getting the better of me and, on occasion, I'd push a new branch to backups when I wanted origin.

Here's what I settled on: (advice-add 'magit-list-remotes :filter-return (lambda (remotes) (delete "backups" remotes))) Now I never see backups in Magit and now I can keep using my muscle memory (rather than actually reading what is in front of me, it seems).

a splendid post on cl-flet, cl-letf, and cl-labels. I didn’t get a chance to write about it then but his post is very useful for understanding these macros and how they differ. The macros are the replacements for the now deprecated flet, which, in turn, was imported from Common Lisp with the added feature of having dynamic scope. As Batsov points out, making the scope dynamic conflates the notion of local and dynamic scope, which can be a bit confusing. This behavior is preserved by the cl-letf macro for those who need it. The cl-flet macro is just like the flet macro from Common Lisp. It defines a local function whose definition is available only from within its scope. The salient fact is that its definition is not available from within the function definition so it can’t be called recursively. The cl-labels macro is like labels from Common Lisp. It’s similar to cl-flet except that its definition is available from within the function definition so it is recursive. Finally, the cl-letf macro largely replicates the behavior of the old (Elisp) flet macro with the addition that it can dynamically replace the definition of any setf-able definition. This can complicate its use a bit. See Batsov’s post for the details. If you’re like me, you don’t use any of these macros that often so it’s easy to forget the details. For that reason it’s worthwhile bookmarking Batsov’s post so that you can refresh your memory whenever you need to.  ( 5 min )

1. About Figure 1: JPEG produced with OpenAI gpt-image-1 Consulet regarding Romeo Montagnu "Emacs is an Effortless Bloom," or at least, this is what my brain has been screaming into its own void for the past few months…. I have recently been publishing posts to my blog as part of a composite series on the usage patterns that make Emacs powerful to its most fluent users. I don't know if "Emacs is an Effortless Bloom" will be the name of the series when all is said and done…. Maybe it's more of a mantra, or perhaps even a haunting brain spasm at the moment.

W in dired, which is bound to dired-do-async-shell-command, type mpv (or accept the default guess that my dired-guess-shell-alist-user provides for video files), and the video starts playing. Great. But when I close Emacs, the video dies too. The whole point of an async command is that it runs in the background, right?, so why does it disappear when Emacs goes away?, this is most perplexing! Now I should say, the answer is obvious in retrospect, but it took me a little while to actually stop and think about it properly. The command dired-do-async-shell-command adds a trailing & to the shell command and passes it to async-shell-command, which creates a shell process - Emacs is the parent of that shell, and the shell is the parent of mpv. When Emacs exits, it kills its child pr…  ( 2 min )

Papa Johns looks to capture the flavors of its signature Special Garlic Dipping Sauce and bring it to grocery stores nationwide this summer with the launch of bottled Papa Johns Garlic Flavored Sauce. The idea is to offer "a way to enjoy that unmistakable garlicky, buttery flavor beyond the pizza box." Like the original, the new, bottled version is best served warm. Papa Johns suggests using the sauce for "dipping, drizzling, marinating, and sauteing." Bottled Garlic Flavored Sauce arrives at select U.S. grocery and retail stores nationwide this summer, including Walmart, Kroger, Albertson's, Safeway, and H-E-B. You can look for the 14-oz bottle in the refrigerated section near the butter and margarine. Photo via Papa Johns. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 15 min )

President Donald Trump’s war with Iran has caused oil prices to surge, spiking gas prices across the country. Local news outlets have spotlighted the various impacts these record high prices have had on Americans and the people and industries we rely on, from farmers and truckers to first responders, small businesses, and even our schools, among many others.   As of May 11, as the war enters its eleventh week, the national average for a regular gallon of gas is above $4.50, with some states paying nearly or above $5 per gallon. Experts continue to warn that even if the war ended today, the resulting “worst energy crisis ever faced by the world” would keep prices elevated for months to come.  One reporter from South Bend, Indiana, station WSBT 22 noted that “many are worrying about how they will adjust their budget just to buy gas,” while another reporter from Peoria, Illinois, station WEEK Peoria 25 heard from a local resident that “she has had to cut down on her trips to visit her husband in his nursing home from weekly to once every two weeks.” All over the country Americans are feeling the pain at the pump.

Amid a rise in broader anti-vaccine sentiment, some influencers and media figures have cast doubt on the routine vitamin K shot given to newborn infants – and new reporting from ProPublica suggests such rhetoric may have had deadly consequences.  Though the shot is not a vaccine, it has “been swept up in the same post-pandemic tide that has led to a drop in key childhood vaccines” and other medical interventions, with ProPublica writing that “more than 5% of newborns in the U.S. did not receive vitamin K shots in 2024” — a 77% increase since 2017. The publication further warns that “hundreds of children die each year from spontaneous bleeding in the brain, a common result of vitamin K deficiency.”  For years, some influencers and media figures have described the warnings of potential health consequences of not getting a vitamin K shot as “emotional blackmail” and claimed those that refuse the shot are “more responsible” parents.  ( 7 min )

Anju comes in. He says that the introduction of context-menu-mode in Emacs 28 made it possible to provide cotentxt sensitive menus for Elisp development and he has added it to the latest version of Anju. His post has a couple of screen shots of his menus in action. In the first, the point is on a function definition and the menu, among other things, offers the choice to instrument that function. In the second, the function has been instrumented and now the (context sensitive) menu offers things you can do—such as step into, set a breakpoint, and others—with the function. Naturally all of this is dependent on where the point is. That’s the point: the menu is context sensitive. Choi says that the use of the context menus has markedly improved his Elisp development. If you do some but not a lot of Emacs development, it may be a win for you. On the other hand, Choi certainly does do a lot of Emacs development and still finds it a win. Perhaps—no matter your normal workflow—you will too.  ( 5 min )

For ages I’ve had “add prepl support to CIDER” sitting somewhere in the back of my head. CIDER is built firmly around nREPL, but prepl ships with Clojure itself, and the appeal of dropping the external REPL server requirement is obvious. Recently, as part of a broader internals cleanup “mini-project” in CIDER, I finally sat down and put a prototype together: cider#3899. The good news is that the prototype sort of worked. The bad news is that the more I poked at it, the more I kept running into the same pattern. CIDER assumes ops, sessions, request ids, and a whole structured protocol that prepl simply doesn’t have. The amount of CIDER code that would need to grow “is this nREPL or prepl?” branches added up quickly, and I’d be papering over prepl’s limitations in dozens of subtle places. T…  ( 5 min )

I work on developing features and fixing bugs in the Linux kernel in areas specific to IBM Power. I use a number of Emacs’ facilities to get my work done. Magit I use Magit extensively with clones of various Git repositories from https://git.kernel.org/. I keep learning new (to me) things about git and Magit and using them. I’ve found it useful to learn how things work with the command line before attempting to use them in Magit. Compilation This work being with C source code, I make heavy use of M-x compile. I’ve made my life easier by preloading a couple of items in compile-history. I don’t need this everywhere, just in my Linux trees, so I put all of my Linux repositories under ~/linux, and there I’ve created a .dir-locals.el for directory local variables: ((nil .

Since I had no interesting books to read today, nor interesting films to watch, I decided to scavenge for the most intriguing content one can find online. I ended up reading the Linux kernel mailing lists, but those discussions seemed to be 18+, so I settled for the comparatively civil emacs-devel. For those unfamiliar, emacs-devel is the primary development discussion list for GNU Emacs – where design decisions get made, patches get reviewed, and occasionally where people spend 200 messages arguing about version control software. This is the story of that last one. 2008: “This question is over and decided” In March 2008, Emacs was migrating from CVS (yes, CVS) to something more “modern”. The two contenders were Git and Bazaar. Git, created by Linus Torvalds for the Linux kernel. Bazaar …

As celebrated as Emacs is for its programmability, I find the actual process of developing Emacs Lisp (Elisp) to be quite underwhelming. Developing in Elisp has meant learning its libraries and idioms, which is to be expected. What I really don’t care for though are the arcane keybindings associated with doing basic things like evaluating, navigating (Xref), and debugging (especially debugging). While I’ve already committed to muscle memory most of said keybindings, I’d argue that having a mouse-based “point and click” interface is beneficial for both novice and experienced Elisp developers alike, as it lets one focus on the code and not on recalling the right key incantation all the time. The addition of context-menu-mode in Emacs 28 has provided the opportunity to build a mouse-based UI …  ( 2 min )

F9 mapped to Emacs capture so that I can invoke any Org capture template from anywhere on my system. That’s really handy and I use it several times a day. I also have a shortcut to invoke Emacs Everywhere so that I can escape into the comfort of Emacs when entering data in some other app. Today (Sunday, as I write this) I received a notification that a new version of ICanHazShortcut was available. It’s completely rewritten in Swift from Basic and has some new capabilities. You can read about them at the above link. For me, not much has changed. The new version continues doing what ICanHazShortcut has always done. ICanHazShortcut is a minimal app that simply provides a shortcut for any command that you can specify in the terminal. There are plenty of more full featured key mappers available that may be better for more complicated situations but I find ICanHazShortcut perfect. It’s light weight and easy to configure. I almost never mess with ICanHazShortcut’s configuration. The last time I changed it—to add HomeKit, I think—was years ago. It truly is a set it and forget it app. If you want a simple app for invoking Emacs—or anything else—in various ways, take a look at ICanHazShortcut; it’s worked very well for me.  ( 5 min )

Most Linux distributions ship generic binaries compiled to run safely on a vast array of older hardware configurations. While this ensures broad compatibility, it sacrifices the speed that comes from using the specific, modern instruction sets of your processor. Compiling Emacs directly from source allows instructing the compiler to generate machine code explicitly targeted at your CPU architecture, resulting in a faster and more efficient runtime environment. Before we dive in, please consider sharing this article on your website/blog, Mastodon, Reddit, X, or your preferred social media platforms. Sharing it will help fellow Emacs users discover better ways to manage code folding. Beyond raw hardware optimization, building from source enables dropping decades of legacy compatibility layer…  ( 17 min )

interesting post on the describe-personal-keybindings command. The idea is that the command lists the keybindings that you have set in your configuration. It’s convenient, mbork says, for checking that new Emacs releases haven’t stolen one of your bindings. It’s also interesting to see what bindings you’ve added and what, if anything, they’ve replaced. But there’s a catch. In order for a personal keybinding to show up, it must have been set with the bind-key macro. That’s a problem for those of us who are long term users. Those who use use-package exclusively have no problem since the :bind command uses bind-key automatically but bindings set with, say, define-key will not appear in the describe-personal-keybindings output. That’s inspired mbork to refactor his init.el to use use-pacjkage and for stand-alone bindings, the bind-key macro. The minions are insisting that I mention what they consider the best part of mbork’s post. That, of course, concerned dark mode. Mbork begins his post by mentioning a Web app that provides a Web based cheat sheet of Emacs commands. Mbork says it’s a cool command but not for him because if I were to create something like that, it would run in Emacs and not in the browser, it would definitely mention transpose-.* commands, and it would never be dark-mode-only;-). The minions haven’t been causing much trouble lately so I thought it only fair to indulge their desire to get mbork’s dislike of dark mode on the record.  ( 5 min )

The first new episode, Emacs Chat 21, is with Amin Bandali with whom she’s worked on EmacsConf for the last 7 years. The format is always the same. Chua and her guest discuss the guest’s Emacs configuration and how they’ve solved various problems. There’s way too much material for a quick recapitulation—the video is an hour and 12 minutes long—but there’s a transcript at the link so you can go through it at your leisure if you find the video’s pace too rapid. There were a couple of things that I found particularly interesting. The first is the upcoming user-lisp-directory. It allows you to specify a directory for your Lisp files and Emacs will automatically compile them and add them to the load-path for you. Bandali uses it as a replacement for the package system because he prefers to configure things manually. The second interesting thing for me was his use of EXWM (Emacs X Window Manager), which goes a long way towards the dream of bringing everything into Emacs. I’ve long wanted to try it out but as its name suggests, it works with the X-Windows system only. The Irreal bunker has famously standardized on Macs so EXWM is unavailable to us. I’d still love to try it though. There’s a lot of material in the chat so you’ll have to watch it—or at least skim the transcript—to get the whole picture. There are links to his configuration so you can steal anything that seems useful to you. I’m really happy to see Chua resurrecting her Emacs Chats. I really enjoyed the previous ones and learned a lot from them and I’m sure that will be true of the new ones too.  ( 5 min )

Some time ago one Emacs user made themselves a local web app showing various Emacs keybindings – basically, a web-based Emacs cheatsheet.

Carrying on with the theme of being lazy while editing posts, I've released blogmore.el v4.5.0. This version adds blogmore-set-as-cover. With this, if you place point on a line that is an image and run the command, it is set as the cover for the post. Sure, it's not like it's hard to copy, move, insert a new line, type cover: and then paste the text, but this is faster and more accurate. And I'm lazy. And I like hacking on Emacs Lisp that makes my workflow flow faster.

The shell-pop Emacs package provides on-demand access to a terminal buffer via a single, configurable key binding. It allows toggling a terminal window without disrupting the workspace layout, making it a useful tool for quick command-line tasks. NOTE: Kazuo Yagi, the shell-pop original author, appointed me as a co-maintainer of shell-pop Emacs package. I recently refactored shell-pop to improve robustness, fix bugs, and add support for additional terminals (vterm and eat). Stepping into the maintainer role gave me the opportunity to give the codebase a thorough refactoring. Why use shell-pop?

the Emacs 31 release process was on the verge of starting. Now Sean Whitton writes to tell us that the Emacs 31 branch has been created and that the feature freeze has begun.

The release cycle—if you believe in history—is apt to be long but even though that can be frustrating it means that the final product is going to be rock solid.

Tea Party Patriots founder and podcaster Jenny Beth Martin — whose group was listed as a “coalition partner” of a rally in Washington, D.C. ahead of the January 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol — suggested during a rally later aired on her podcast that she played a role in the creation of the SAVE Act, which would curtail voting access nationwide and has been pushed by the Trump administration in its current iteration. The SAVE Act, which was introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and has since been modified and rebranded as the SAVE America Act, would bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections — something which is already illegal and exceedingly rare— and would create new barriers for people attempting to register to vote. Roy already said that he “drafted that bill … alongside our good friends Stephen Miller, our good friends Hans Von Spakovsky, Cleta Mitchell, other good friends of President Trump and patriots across the country who have been fighting for election integrity for years.” These remarks suggest Martin may have been involved as well. Martin was involved with early promotion of the SAVE Act, speaking at the 2024 congressional GOP press conference announcing the bill, endorsing an iteration of the bill, and repeatedly campaigning for its passage. At an April 25 event, which was broadcast on Martin’s podcast The Jenny Beth Show on May 5, Martin gave a speech and described being in contact with Lee, along with Mitchell. She mentioned a January 2024 conference call in which Mitchell “gave an update about problems with elections,” specifically Arizona, and a text exchange in which Martin said “we need to make a law” that will “fix” Arizona. Martin portrayed those conversations as being how the SAVE Act got started.  ( 4 min )

Fox News and Fox Business personalities and guests have repeatedly used the threat of Iran’s nuclear program as a central rationale for President Donald Trump's war of aggression against Iran, arguing that Americans should accept higher gas prices, economic disruption, casualties, and possible further military escalation as necessary costs. But recent reporting by Reuters found that U.S. intelligence assessments indicate “the time Iran would need to build a nuclear weapon has not changed since last summer” despite two months of war, undercutting Fox’s premise that the war’s mounting costs are justified by an urgent and material nuclear threat. The nuclear threat narrative, which is another node in Fox’s broader and shifting rationale for Trump’s war with Iran, is useful because it can make multiple costs of the war appear necessary at once. When gas prices rise, the cost is framed as temporary sacrifice. When casualties occur, they are framed as tragic but necessary costs of pursuing the war’s stated objectives. When the war fails to produce a clear endpoint, escalation is treated as necessary to secure Iran’s uranium or prevent the country from reconstituting its nuclear program. And when the war becomes politically costly, Fox figures suggest it could become an asset if Trump can claim to have stopped Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.  ( 6 min )

Across the country, florists are telling local news stations that rising fuel costs due to the Iran war are impacting their businesses and may drive up the price of Mother’s Day bouquets this year. The Trump administration’s war with Iran has caused gas and fuel costs to increase dramatically, with the national average for a regular gallon topping $4.546 as of May 8. Florists explained to local news outlets that they are paying more when they fill up delivery vehicles’ gas tanks and pay increased shipping fees for imported flowers. A Charlotte station explained, “Most flowers in the U.S. are imported, and fuel surcharges can add up fast when they're flown in.” One flower shop owner in Nashville said bracing for the gas bill is “breathtaking, and not in a good way.” One Kansas City florist said, "I am looking at all kinds of extra fuel charges which increases the price of the flower on top of tariffs that we already have. So yeah, it's a problem, it's a problem. It's expensive." Another reporter noted, “The flowers are still beautiful, but from the farm to your front door, almost nothing about getting them here is getting cheaper."  ( 3 min )

Prot as an Emacs coach to help with doing review passes over my upcoming ffs package as I work on polishing and documenting it in preparation for offering it for inclusion in GNU ELPA. Yesterday we had our second session focused on ffs, which I recorded and share publicly with everyone with Prot's permission, so that others can also benefit from Prot's insights and experience as we discuss various aspects of Emacs package development with the concrete example of ffs. Here is the video recording of our session: Sorry, this embedded video will not work, because your web browser does not support HTML5 video. [ please watch the video in your favourite streaming media player ]​ You can view or download the full-resolution video from the Internet Archive. I addressed most of Prot's feedback about ffs from our first session, and I'll be working on the changes we discussed in this session in the next days. In the last third of the video we switched topics to discuss a few Emacs-related tangents including adding a 'padding' effect for the mode line and its constructs, and distilling and separating the easily-reusable package-like parts of one's Emacs configuration from the actual configuration of those parts (e.g. the distinction of prot-lisp and prot-emacs-modules in Prot's Emacs configuration). For mode line padding, here is the snippet I'm using with Prot's doric-themes: (doric-themes-with-colors (custom-set-faces `(mode-line ((t :box (:line-width 6 :color ,bg-shadow-intense)))) `(mode-line-inactive ((t :box (:line-width 6 :color ,bg-shadow-subtle)))) `(mode-line-highlight ((t :box (:color ,bg-shadow-intense))))))  ( 1 min )

he wrote an Emacs package do things the way he wanted. The result was grove. Chu says that Grove was informed by his experience with Obsidian. I’ve never used Obsidian so I can’t comment on that aspect but Chu says that Grove is Obsidian-like. The only external dependencies are ripgrep, Graphviz if you want the graph view, and Consult if you want the enhanced search capability. One of his goals was to have an easily installable and configurable package. It looks like a pretty nice package if you’re looking for a note taking method with a bit of but not too much structure. I use Org mode for all my note taking across many dimensions and have never felt the need for a more organized approach. Sure, sometimes I think about using Denote or Org Roam but—for me—they never seemed worth the effort. Many others disagree, of course, but Emacs has a home for us all, Take a look at his post or the Github repository for the details and a bit more on how things work.  ( 5 min )

I've released an update to blogmore.el, my Emacs package that helps me out when writing this blog. I've added two commands to this version which help me be lazier than ever. The first is blogmore-become-like. When run, this prompts for another post and, once selected, it sets this post's category and tags to be the same as the other one. I added this because I'm often writing an occasional series of posts that are all about the same project, and so I always find myself copying and pasting those frontmatter properties from another post. The second command I've added is blogmore-toggle-image-centre. Built into BlogMore is a little bit of styling that will ensure an image is placed in the centre of the page, if the URL for the image has #centre on the end. This means that, for most images I add, I have to go and edit the URL to add that. Now I can just run a single command when the cursor is on an image and it'll add (or remove, if it's already there) that styling hint. In both cases, I've added the commands to the transient menu too.  ( 1 min )

It is an universal product, you can be in any application, Safari, Chrome, BBEdit, Finder, anywhere. You can press the keyboard shortcut to invoke capture. Fill in what you want to capture. Hit return and go back to whatever you were doing. The product is advertised as “Capture thoughts to Obsidian without leaving what you’re doing.” You don’t have to use Obsidian. I use Emacs and it works great for that too. You can use any text editor and it is as useful. Two Routes capture options Capture gives you two options to capture your content. You can capture to a new individual file. Every capture gets put into a time-stamped new file. capture where? You can append to an existing file which you have specified, or append to a daily note. capture and folders You can define the Obsidian vault that Capture deals with. In my case it is the folder which contain my org files. Within that folder is another folder called ‘capture’ where I put my captured files into. capture context Within these options you have various options. You can include context. You get to define the context. capture tags You can add tags to your captured content. I am happy with Capture. It is a focused utility which does what it promises well. Wishes for Capture I understand that the link to Obsidian means that this deals with Markdown files. We don’t need that restriction. It can work with Org-mode files and plain text files. Give me the ability to specify the extension I want my files to be. The command to save the capture is ⌘↵. On my machine ↵ saves the capture. There is no way to add a new line. This must be a bug. Recommendation I used the program for fifteen minutes and bought it. It is the kind of utility which I am going to use multiple times a day. Recommended most heartily. macosxguru at the gmail thingie.

Local news stations across the country are reporting that food delivery services for seniors in need are struggling amid high gas and food prices brought on by the Iran war.  The Trump administration’s war with Iran is causing gas prices to skyrocket, with the national average price of a regular gallon of gas being $4.55 as of May 7. The increased cost of fuel is having far reaching consequences, including impacting the millions of American seniors who rely on food delivery nonprofits — Meals on Wheels alone delivers 244 million meals to 2.6 million seniors annually.  One station reported that “volunteers who deliver the food are also paying more to help fight food insecurity.” Another interviewed a program director who said it makes them “sick” to see seniors on a waiting list because the organization can no longer afford to reach all those in need. A Chicago organization told a local station that it might “cut down the number of deliveries per week” to try to survive the rising prices.  ( 5 min )

Taco Bell's Diablo Dusted Chicken Nuggets feature the chain's tortilla-crust, crispy-fried chicken nuggets tossed in a "bold, flavorful Diablo spice seasoning." An order of five nuggets cost me $4.99. The box felt very light, and opening it yielded a view of some rather small, reddish-orange chicken nuggets. While small, the nuggets were tender and juicy inside with a relatively thick, crunchy shell. They were well coated with the Diablo spice seasoning. Flavor-wise, the Diablo Dusted Chicken Nuggets were very spicy, but tasty. Unfortunately, my stomach doesn't handle very spicy foods so well these days, and was displeased with me for a day (my mouth, on the other hand, was fine). Beyond the heat, there was a bit of a vinegary tang and a pleasant seasoned flavor. The nuggets went well with Bell Sauce, which provided a balancing creamy sweetness. Overall, Taco Bell's Diablo Dusted Chicken Nuggets provided more heat than anything else on the Taco Bell menu that I can remember in recent times. The flavor was really nice, but it really does not feel worth it for the money (unless you get lucky with bigger pieces than I got).

Marco's Pizza launches its new NY Style Pizza as a limited-time offering. The new pizza is an extra-large (16-inch) pizza made with dough that's been stretched very thin. It features a sauce made with crushed tomatoes that differs from the chain's traditional pizza sauce. Marco's NY Style Pizza is topped with large deli-style pepperoni and is finished with a sprinkle of parmesan. The edge of the pizza is brushed with garlic sauce. The price tag on the pizza starts at a promotional price of $13.99 (it's $16.99 in CA, CO, and Las Vegas) when you use the code "GETNY". Photo via Marco's Pizza.

Fox News hosted Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, in the last week to celebrate that millions of Americans lost their food stamp benefits as a result of drastic Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cuts in the Fox-celebrated Republican legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.  Multiple Fox programs also dutifully aired her attacks on a decades-old policy called Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility that saves states billions in administrative costs and expands access to eligible Americans, misleadingly presenting it as a “loophole” that enables fraud. In fact, ending the policy, which is a stated goal of multiple right-wing organizations, is estimated to kick off a further 6 million deserving Americans from the SNAP program, also known as food stamps.  ( 9 min )
