    The Trump administration is pushing to renew FISA. Right-wing media figures are split.
    Right-wing media figures are largely divided over President Donald Trump's push to renew the controversial Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows for warrantless surveillance of electronic communications of foreign nationals located outside the United States. Right-wing podcasters and figures on Newsmax have advocated against renewing Section 702, with some suggesting his support for renewing it now is hypocritical given Trump’s past rants against FISA and others arguing that Trump wants to “spy on Americans.” Meanwhile, some personalities on Fox News came out in support of the FISA renewal, arguing that it's an important national security tool that could deal with “Iranian sleeper cells.”  ( 8 min )
    Project 2025 called for limiting reproductive healthcare. The Trump administration appears to be following through.
    An effort to limit access to contraceptives and preach natural family planning and higher birth rates is taking shape under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Department of Health and Human Services. New guidelines for applying for Title X grants, created in 1970 to provide family planning and preventative health services, shift focus away from providing contraception and sexual health resources to prioritize “natural family planning methods” instead. The policy changes included in the new Title X guidelines reflect almost exactly what Project 2025's policy proposal book Mandate for Leadership called for: “better education around fertility awareness and holistic family planning." Contraceptives were long politically untouchable for conservatives due to their overwhelming public support, but the Trump administration seems to now be making moves to limit their accessibility. An anonymous HHS staffer claimed the change is an attempt by the Trump administration “to mollify the anti-abortion wing of the GOP." Key right-wing and Make America Healthy Again influencers have been pushing for restrictions on contraceptives and abortion in recent years.  ( 5 min )

    "Nothing short of treasonous": Right-wing media ramp up attacks on Democratic officials, mainstream news, and Iran war critics as “traitors”
    In the last month, right-wing media figures have labeled a wide range of people and entities they associate with the Democratic Party — from former President Barack Obama to mainstream media figures and critics of the Iran War — as “traitors,” in some cases explicitly demanding they be tried for treason and put to death. This rhetoric showcases the right's escalation and propensity for more extreme reactions during the second Trump administration.  ( 4 min )
    Fox Business personalities acknowledge that high gas prices are wiping out Americans' tax refunds
    As the president’s approval rating crisis compounded earlier this month, the White House attempted to tout his tax cuts, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming on Tax Day that they put “a historic amount of money” into the pockets of the American people. But some Fox Business personalities are pointing out that those gains have been offset by the higher energy costs caused by Trump’s war with Iran. Reuters reported that increased prices at the gas pump are “eat[ing] most of the larger tax refunds that people are seeing from new tax breaks on tips, Social Security retirement payments, overtime pay, car loan interest and state and local tax bills that were part of last year's Republican-backed tax-cut legislation.” The reporting confirms that the bump in gasoline costs for Americans exceeds even the highest estimates for average tax refund increases. On Fox News, Jessica Tarlov, the Democratic co-host of Fox’s panel show The Five, noted that the tax returns were being wiped out by the gasoline price increase, noting, “Kellyanne brings up the tax refund, the $375 on average that you got back, which is compared to the $740 extra that you're going to pay at the pump because of the increase in gas prices.”  On Fox Business, many pundits are making the same point, even if reluctantly.  ( 4 min )

    Remembering Roberto Clemente’s 3000th Hit
    This story by Kevin Guilfoile about his aging father (who worked for the Pirates and the Baseball Hall of Fame) and the mystery of what happened to the bat that Roberto Clemente got his 3,000th hit with is one of my favorite things that I’ve read over the past few months. [My father’s] personality is present, if his memories are a jumble. He is still funny, and surprisingly quick with one-liners to crack up the staff at the facility where he lives. He is exceedingly polite, same as he ever was. He is good at faking a casual conversation, especially on the phone. But if you sit and talk with him for a long time, he gets very anxious. He starts tapping his forehead with his fingers. “Shouldn’t we be going?” he’ll say. You tell him there’s no place we need to be, but 30 seconds later he’ll as…  ( 4 min )

Was it fun as fuck and creative right to the end? You best believe it. God bless the shoplifters.

    Einar Mostad: Fix Emacs python-mode REPL and org code block with python evaluation problems

In org, I would get the same error saying stringp was nil when evaluating code blocks that I would get when trying to import files to the REPL in python mode. I first thought the problem was related to my einar-python-virtualenv function which locally changes the python-shell-interpreter for a file if it is in a project with a virtual environment since I made that quite recently, but the strange thing was that it worked perfectly on GNU Guix on my main machine at home.

    How national TV news networks covered Earth Day in 2026
    Earth Day, observed each year on April 22 since 1970, is one of the few predictable moments when broadcast networks air stories about climate and environmental issues. A Media Matters analysis of 2026 Earth Day coverage found that broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — aired 33 minutes across 11 segments, while cable networks — CNN, Fox News, and MS NOW — aired 15 minutes across 7 segments. The coverage followed familiar patterns: Feel-good nature segments and consumer-oriented content dominated, while broadcast segments avoided explaining the systemic drivers of climate change and environmental pollution, connecting impacts to policy, or identifying who is most affected by climate and environmental harms. On cable, reporting from CNN’s Bill Weir focused on the record-low level of Arctic sea ice and broader climate impacts. Overall, the reporting reduced climate and environmental issues to isolated impacts and individual choices; the decisions, systems, and industries shaping our climate conditions were largely absent from Earth Day coverage.  ( 4 min )
    Fox uses reported jet fuel crisis to goad Europe into joining Trump’s Iran war
    Following an April 16 interview with The Associated Press in which International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol warned that Europe has “maybe six weeks or so” of jet fuel supplies remaining resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Fox has used that warning as a cudgel to prod European allies to join President Donald Trump’s unauthorized Iran war. Both European and American airlines have already been heavily affected, with tens of thousands of flights having been canceled and many airlines increasing airfares and fees — or even, as in the case of Spirit Airlines, facing bankruptcy and seeking a government bailout.  Some Fox personalities have argued that Trump is being “savvy” or “wise” in using his continued failure to force the Strait of Hormuz open to call for European aid he has erratically both demanded and refused in recent weeks. Some Fox figures were even more blunt in their demands that Europe engage in Trump’s costly military misadventure.  ( 5 min )
    Newsmax host falsely claims Secret Service Agents are not being paid
    On the April 27 edition of Newsmax’s Wake Up America, co-host Marc Lotter claimed Secret Service agents are not being paid due to an ongoing partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security. Although the shutdown has affected some Secret Service functions, multiple sources have recently confirmed that Secret Service agents “have been paid during the shutdown.” According to a New York Times report from March 31, “Law enforcement officers at Customs and Border Protection and the Secret Service are also being paid, along with more than 40,000 U.S. Coast Guard military personnel.” CNN also heard from a senior administration official that “paychecks for sworn law enforcement officers in ICE, CBP and the Secret Service, as well as for Coast Guard military personnel, are being funded by the ‘big, beautiful bill.’”  ( 4 min )

    The Self-Defeating Both-Sidesism of the US Press
    Greg Sargent writing for The New Republic: There’s no clean way to hive off terms like fascism or authoritarianism from Trump’s policies. Even if you disagree that the words apply, their use is backed up by a genuine attempt at intellectual justification for it. The use of these terms just is deeply linked to assessments of Trump’s actual policies, from the lawless renditions to foreign gulags to the unleashing of heavily armed militias in American cities to the naked intimidation of large swaths of civil society. By contrast, when Trump and MAGA media figures call Democrats “Communists” or “antifa,” all of that is entirely disconnected from any policy realities. Many press figures would like it if there were an Archimedean midpoint between the two parties on all these matters. But there isn’t. At the most basic level, one party continues to function as an actor in a liberal democracy, whereas Trump and much of his movement, with the eager participation of many Republicans, simply do not. Dispensing with harsh but accurate descriptions of his real goals would whitewash them. See also Republican Extremism and the Myth of “Both Sides” in American Politics.

    Irreal: The Sunk Cost Of Emacs
    Emacs and sunk costs. His post is in reaction to the idea that using Emacs requires a lot of learning and customization and that those efforts are sunk costs. That is, they’re costs that you’ve already paid and will never get back. All of that is true and Ridenour agrees. What he doesn’t agree with is the conflation of “sunk cost” and “the sunk cost fallacy”. The sunk cost fallacy is, roughly, the idea that you should continue with some activity simply because you have so much invested—so much sunk cost—in the activity. Everyone has experienced it. Ridenour gives a common example that we’ve all dealt with: the refusal to hang up while waiting to talk to a representative on a support call because we’ve got so much time already invested. The proper way to think about sunk cost is to imagine you got where you are for free and decide what you should do next without considering how you got there. In the case of Emacs, Ridenour says, that means to imagine you’ve never used an editor and that the expert you consults tells you that he can give you A ready to use editor that works well but requires you to do things its way or An editor that is custom built for you, that works the way you want it to, and that has commands that only you care about.  ( 5 min )

    AI companions can give constant support — but distort ideas about what a relationship really is

He comes alive after talking daily with his artificial intelligence chatbot, Samantha, with whom he eventually falls in love. But today people actually report being in relationships with AI companions. […]

    Chris Wellons: I have officially retired from Emacs
    This past Tuesday I typed C-x C-c in Emacs for the last time after 20 years of daily use. Though nearly half that time was gradually retiring it, switching to modal editing, then to Vim. Emacs is a platform, and I’d grown accustomed to its applications, especially those I built myself. There was no particular hurry, so replacements came slowly. With my newly-acquired superpowers I could knock out the last two pieces in a few days’ work, namely M-x calc with stackcalc and Elfeed with Elfeed2. I’m especially excited about the latter because it already exceeds the original. Both are multi-platform, native C++ GUI applications using native UI components. These actively-in-use packages require new maintainers (apply on the project’s issues/discussion): @ (about) aio (probably covered; about) b…  ( 2 min )
    Randy Ridenour: Emacs and the Sunk Cost Fallacy
    The Emacs Lock-In Effect or the Emacs Sunk Cost Fallacy” caught my eye, since cognitive biases are a research interest of mine. Emacs and cognitive psychology is a combination that I can’t resist. Voit’s post was prompted by a Reddit post from five years ago which claimed, in part, that1 However I might admit that I exhibit some sunk cost fallacy thinking. It becomes clear when I realize that I WON’T recommend Emacs to new users - unless they are going to invest large amounts of time learning it, like I did. In response, Voit makes an excellent point: …I don’t think that I’m using Emacs just because I don’t think of alternatives any more. I use it because all in all, it’s the best package I can get for now and most probably also for the future. This is nicely summarized…  ( 4 min )
    Irreal: Guide To Folding
    describing how to set up a universal folding system. Folding is one of those things that I’m equivocal about. I use it all the time in Org files and couldn’t live without it. On the other hand, I’ve never seen the need for folding in code files. Sometimes it is convenient to focus on a single function but in those cases I simply narrow to the function. Perhaps my problem is that every type of file seems to have its own folding engine with different commands and bindings. Regardless, Cherti definitely does like folding in his code buffers and like me with Org files, couldn’t live without it. His post explains his system with dealing with folding in various types of buffers. The TL;DR is that he uses kirigami as a front end to provide a uniform interface to the myriad of folding engines. That’s pretty nice but you have to tie it to the back end engines. That’s where Cherti’s post really shines. He provides the hooks for a large selection of file types. It’s not always obvious which engine you should use for a given file type and Cherti explains why he thinks each of his choices is the correct one. The nice thing is that once you’ve set up and learned kirigami, you can add folding for whatever files you need simply by setting a hook. Kirigami allows you to set your own bindings for the commands so even learning Kirigami is simple. If you’re more like Cherti than like me, and want folding for as many of your files as possible, take a look at his post. It’s really easy to set up and gives you all the folding power you’re apt to need.  ( 5 min )

I found Qwen 3.6 + DeerFlow 2.0 is much better than the paid version of Grok, and miles better than Perplexity. Today, I made it even better by giving it vision. Earlier I uploaded an image of my staircase and asked it to check the conditions when I plan the staircase renovation project. This blog post highlights the key steps of how i did it. Firstly, Qwen 3.6 has vision encoder built-in already, but it requires an additional mmproj component to make it work.

    Charles Choi: Some nice to know keybindings when using the mouse in Emacs
    These keybindings are good to know when working with a mouse in Emacs. F10 (menu-bar-open) :: Start key navigation of the menu bar in FRAME. S-F10 (context-menu-open) :: Start key navigation of the context menu. This needs context-menu-mode enabled. C-M-mouse-1 :: Activate a rectangular region around the text selected by dragging. Useful for rectangle operations. M-Drag-mouse-1 :: Set the secondary selection, with one end at the place where you press down the button, and the other end at the place where you release it. See Secondary Selection for more info. C-x z (repeat) :: Repeat most recently executed command. Yes, repeat works also for commands issued via mouse too! Knowing that repeat works with menu commands (both main and context) is particularly useful with the additions to the main menu made by the latest Anju v1.2.0 update. Shown below is a demo of using “Duplicate” (duplicate-dwim) from the Edit menu, then using C-x z and then z successively to repeat the duplication. Link to video.  ( 1 min )
    Irreal: Help Test Scrim v. 1.3.3
    Scrim, you may want to give it a spin. The TL;DR is that it solves the Org Protocol problems on macOS. Along with Captee, it allows you to easily share links from any application supporting the share menu with Org mode. I’ve got them both installed and even though I don’t use them that often, they’re exactly what I need when I want to share a link from some random application back to the Emacs mother ship. Apparently, there’s a problem between the latest Emacs development version—Emacs 31.0.05—and Scrim. Its author, Charles Choi, has produced and tested a fix for the problem with Scrim v. 1.3.3. If you’re a Scrim user and living on the edge with the Emacs 31 development version, you may want the update and, more importantly, help Choi test it. It’s available on TestFlight for you to try out. If you’re new to TestFlight, don’t be afraid. It’s simplicity itself and does the right thing automatically. I used it extensively when I was a beta user for Journelly and never had a single problem with it. It will automatically alert you if there are updates so you don’t have to track development if all you want to do is use Scrim.  ( 5 min )
    Dave Pearson: kbdify.el v1.0.0
    When I'm writing documentation in Markdown I like, where possible, to mark up keys with the tag. This was the reason for one of the updates to BlogMore: I'd not done any good default markup for and the moment I realised, I knew I had to fix it. Now that I'm writing more on this blog, and especially about coding, I'm mentioning keys pretty often (even more so given I'm doing a lot of tidying up of my Emacs Lisp packages). The thing is though: I find having to type out and kind of tedious, and it's something I mistype from time to time. I guess I could use some sort of HTML tag inserting tool or whatever, but I got to thinking that it would be handy if I could point an Emacs command at a particular sequence in a buffer and have it mark up the whole thing. This resulted in a small bit of code I'm calling kbdify.el. It's pretty simple, if point is sat on some text that looks like this: C-M-S-s- and I run kbdify I get this: C-M-S-s-<up> The result rendering as C-M-S-s-. I could probably take it a bit further, have it optionally work on a region and stuff like that, but even in its current simplistic form it's going to be loads quicker and a lot more accurate and will probably perfectly cover 99% of the times I need it. There is the issue that it's not going to handle something like M-x some-command RET in the way I might like, but then again some-command isn't a key. Like, does it make more sense to have: M-x some-command RET anyway? Personally I think this: M-x some-command RET probably makes more sense. I think I'm good for now.  ( 1 min )

    Dave Pearson: itch.el v1.3.0
    When I'm working in Emacs I use the *scratch* buffer quite a bit. I find it especially useful if I'm working on some Emacs Lisp code, but I also find it handy as a place to drop something I want to retrieve soon, or a quick note that I want to refer back to soon; sometimes I even paste some text there and copy it back just to strip the formatting from it before using it elsewhere1. Because of this, for a long time, I carried a little function around that I had bound to M-s to quickly take me to the *scratch* buffer. Then, I think around the time I did the follow-up revamp of my Emacs configuration, I turned it into a little package for my own use called itch.el. The command (itch-scratch-buffer) is simple enough: run it and I get switched to my *scratch* buffer. If I run it with a prefix argument it switches to *scratch* and resets the content back to the initial-scratch-message. More recently I've found that I'm wanting a scratch buffer that is for writing Markdown. Like many folk I use it a lot for documentation, and of course I also use it for this blog. I also use it heavily for keeping notes in Obsidian2. So, often, I find myself switching to a temporary buffer (*foo* or something), setting it to markdown-mode, and then writing what I need. So yesterday I finally cracked and added itch-markdown-scratch-buffer. It's just like itch-scratch-buffer, only it creates a *scratch: Markdown* buffer, using the same clear-if-prefix rule. So now I've got this bound to M-S-s and I can faff around just a little less when I want a Markdown scratchpad. On macOS at least, I find the "paste without formatting" support of some applications to be really inconsistent; a quick layover in the *scratch* buffer does the trick every time. ↩ Yes, I know, I should be using Org, but sadly it's just never clicked for me, and I also find good syncing and having a consistent application on mobile and desktop are important. ↩  ( 1 min )

These personalities have gone so far as to accuse the GOP of “pushing for mass amnesty” and “surrendering our country to foreigners.”  They are advocating for harsher anti-immigration policies — demanding that President Donald Trump enact his most extreme campaign promises for mass deportations, calling for “a 10-year ban on all immigration,” and encouraging Trump to start “denaturalizing citizens” and “removing lawful permanent residents.”  ( 11 min )

    Tenfold Knottiness
    While reading this article about the structure of complex knots, I ran across this diagram drawn by scientist Peter Guthrie Tait in 1885 for a paper called On Knots Part III. It’s one of two figures that together show all of the possible variations of knots with 10 crossings. I think the color plus the small multiples activated the Tufte array in my brain; anyway, I love this diagram. (via damn interesting) (I tried for the better part of an hour to track down a high-resolution copy of Tait’s paper to no avail. There are various contenders, but nothing that includes high-res scans of both knottiness diagrams. I’m curious about this archive of the original paper but not $41 curious.

    Eye Contact With a Humpback Whale
    I’ve never seen anything like these photos before. In October 2024, Rachel Moore had a close encounter with a humpback whale in French Polynesia and took these photos of the whale’s eye. Moore wrote of the experience: This moment of eye contact was beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve never encountered a whale like this one, and it was the most profoundly beautiful experience of my life. Tragically, just a few days later, the whale was dead; she drowned after being struck by a boat. Moore’s photos and experience galvanized an effort to regulate a slow zone for large boats in French Polynesia during whale migration season, which became law late last year: French Polynesia has just passed new speed regulations to better protect humpbacks during their migration. Vessels over 12 meters must now travel at 10 knots (12 knots max) within 1 nautical mile of the islands, helping prevent the kind of tragedy we never want to see again.

    Charles Choi: Call for Testing: Scrim v1.1.3 TestFlight on pre-release Emacs 31
    For folks who like using the development build of Emacs (at the time of this writing Emacs 31.0.5) on macOS, it turns out there is a bug in how Scrim sends Org protocol requests to it. A fix has been identified and so far it works fine for both Emacs 30.2 and 31.0.5 from my testing. That said, it is always better to have more folks trying it out. If you use the latest Emacs 31.0.5+ on macOS and use (or are interested in using) Org protocol, I invite you to try out a TestFlight build of Scrim v1.1.3. If this is the first time you’ve heard about Scrim, learn more about it at http://yummymelon.com/scrim/ Thanks much!  ( 1 min )

    Irreal: Emacs As A Browser
    emacs-everywhere allows me to handle text input and editing in Emacs. Still, I spend a lot of time in Safari and it would be nice to whittle that time down. Joshua Blais claims that Emacs is his browser. His key for doing that is, of course, eww. He says, that like most of us, he believed it was far from capable of being an everyday browser but after using it for a while, he’s found that it’s usable for 85–90 percent of his use cases. What many consider its shortcomings—it’s lack of hyper-interactivity and busy graphical display—Blais considers an advantage. He’s tired of the modern web with all its flashing lights and finds eww perfect for reading blogs and other serious writing that requires concentration and in-depth thought. He’s made some nominal changes to the key bindings and a few other items. In particular, he’s made eww his default browser so even if he needs to go to a full-fledged browser, he has to go through eww first. His post has his configuration so you can see how he’s doing things. Some day, I’ll get up enough nerve to try something similar. I don’t take part in social media or most of the other flashier parts of the Web and I use the excellent Magic Lasso to filter most of the junk that the modern Web insists on shoveling into our computers so my motivation is different from Bais’: I just want to stay in Emacs as much as I can.  ( 5 min )
    Rahul Juliato: Getting Emacs proced.el to Show CPU and Memory on macOS
    I have used the proced.el package in Emacs on Linux for years. It is my go-to "ps as a buffer". A nicely formatted, colorized listing of every running process, with auto-update and tree view. I use it far more often than top, htop, or similar tools. But on macOS I noticed something important is missing: no CPU or memory columns. The reason lives in Emacs itself, since proced.el does asks the C function system_process_attributes in src/sysdep.c for a plist of fields per PID. On Linux that function pulls %CPU and %Mem out of /proc/*/stat. On the BSDs and Windows it computes them from the native APIs. On Darwin, though, the implementation simply never fills in pcpu or pmem, even though it already calls proc_pidinfo for things like vsize and rss. The data is reachable through proc_pid_rusage, …  ( 14 min )
    Dave Pearson: unabbrev.el v1.0.0
    Back in the late 1990s, like plenty of people who were very online, I was a very avid user of Usenet. There were a few groups I was very active in, even a couple that I maintained a FAQ for. Being that active and wanting to help and answer questions, I was forever posting and pasting links to various resources. Given that I used Emacs to edit my posts1, I eventually realised that I should come up with a tool that let me call on common URLs quickly. So back in 1998 handyurl.el was born. It was a simple idea: have a file of URLs that I commonly refer to and let me quickly pick from one and paste it. This made for a useful tool and also gave me something to build given I was learning Emacs Lisp at the time. For reasons I can't quite recall, some time later (the next year, by the looks of thin…  ( 3 min )

    Alex Jones lashes out at comedian Tim Heidecker, who is reportedly set to be new creative director of Infowars
    The Onion reportedly plans to license Infowars, with comedian Tim Heidecker as creative director. From a report in The New York Times on the future of Infowars: The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially planned to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker hopes to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy, he said. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.  ( 2 min )

    As gas prices go up from the Iran war, Fox News celebrates the “biggest payday in history” for oil companies
    Fox News is embracing the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to President Donald Trump’s war against Iran as an economic boon for U.S. petroleum exports — even though the closure will further increase American gasoline prices. Fox has already tried to downplay the increasing fuel prices that have resulted from the closure, which is currently straining both the U.S. and global economies in numerous ways, including threatening famine and global recession. Fox’s embrace of Trump’s disastrous war echoes how the network previously supported the president’s illegal tariffs scheme — with full-throated backing of the policy and claims that it would help the U.S. economy, even though in reality the tariffs resulted in further job losses for the industries they were intended to support, higher inflation, weaker economic growth, and, ultimately, effectively zero revenue due to court-mandated refunds.  ( 8 min )

    Tony Zorman: Writing Literate Blog Posts
    8 min read   ·   #emacs Writing Literate Blog Posts Let’s try to contort enough Emacs packages to allow for a smooth Org to GFM⁺⁺ export, so I can write literate programs in the comfort of Org mode. This website is powered by hakyll, which eventually hands off to pandoc to do all of the GFM to HTML mangling. I have a moderately involved hakyll configuration, which in particular means I’ll not be moving to a purely Emacs-based setup anytime soon. However, the mere existence of Org mode is a straight upgrade for certain things, which I’d like to leverage somehow. For this post, I’ll concentrate on “literate blog posts”, in the sense of literate programming.1 Basically, this is about having executable code blocks interspersed with prose, explaining what’s going on, with t…  ( 7 min )

    Dave Pearson: expando.el v1.6
    Recently I've had an odd problem with Emacs: occasionally, and somewhat randomly, as I wrote code, and only when I wrote Emacs Lisp code, and only when working in emacs-lisp-mode, I'd find that the buffer I was working in would disappear. Not just fully disappear, but more like if I'd used quit-window. Worse still, once this started happening, it wouldn't go away unless I turned Emacs off and on again. Very un-Emacs! Normally this would happen when I'm in full flow on something, so I'd just restart Emacs and crack on with the thing I was writing; because of this I wasn't diagnosing what was actually going on. Then, today, as I was writing require in some code, and kept seeing the buffer go away when I hit q, it dawned on me. Recently, when I cleaned up expando.el, I added the ability to cl…  ( 1 min )

    Irreal: Orgy
    Blogger and now on WordPress. I like them both. They’re easy to use and, really, perfect for non-technical people who want to blog. At this point, Irreal will probably stay on WordPress throughout its lifetime. Still, I occasionally think that it would be nice to change to a static web site. The problem with dynamic Websites is that they’re a black box driven by a database and it’s hard to understand how things work, how to customize them, and how to do fundamental things like backing up your site. Of course, static sites come with their own problems and difficulties. Recently, Bastien Guerry, one of the Org mode heroes, introduced his own static site generator, Orgy. He has a nice post that steps you through setting up an Orgy site from scratch. Orgy seems extremely easy to use. You write your blog posts in Org mode, call Orgy, and everything but moving it to your hosting provider is taken care of. You get an index, RSS, tag support, search and more. Take a look at Guerry’s post for the details. The thing I really like about it is that there’s no database. All your post sources stay safely on your own machine and you can back them up with whatever method(s) you prefer. Even if you have to regenerate your entire site, it’s only an Orgy call away. There’s no PHP to wade through to. The output of Orgy is simply your HTML and supporting files. It’s simplicity itself. If you don’t need a bunch of fancy plugins, Orgy may be just what you’re looking for.  ( 5 min )

    For the fifth time, a vote in the US Senate to limit Trump’s war in Iran falls short
    WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans, and one Democrat, maintained their support for President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, after blocking for the fifth time a resolution that would force the president to seek congressional authorization for further action in the Middle East. The vote failed 46-51, largely following the same split as previous failed measures. Sen. […]

    “Even the Weather Felt Expensive”
    Filmmaker Noah Hawley was invited to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s Campfire retreat in 2018. Reflecting on the experience recently for The Atlantic, Hawley writes that today’s super-rich have stopped “pretending that the rules of human society apply” to them. The Jeff Bezos of 2018 acted as if he still believed that people’s impression of him mattered, that his financial and social value could be affected by negative publicity. He still believed that his actions had consequences. He had not yet freed himself—the way Daniel Plainview freed himself—from the rules of men. Eight years later, Bezos and two of the world’s other richest men—Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk—have clearly left the world of consequences behind. They float in a sensory-deprivation tank the size of the planet, in which their actions are only ever judged by themselves. The closer I’ve gotten to the world of wealth, the more I understand that being truly rich doesn’t mean amassing enough money to afford superyachts, private jets, or a million acres of land. It means that everything becomes effectively free. Any asset can be acquired but nothing can ever be lost, because for soon-to-be trillionaires, no level of loss could significantly change their global standing or personal power. For them, the word failure has ceased to mean anything. Daisy Grewal in 2012 for Scientific American: How Wealth Reduces Compassion. Who is more likely to lie, cheat, and steal—the poor person or the rich one? It’s temping to think that the wealthier you are, the more likely you are to act fairly. After all, if you already have enough for yourself, it’s easier to think about what others may need. But research suggests the opposite is true: as people climb the social ladder, their compassionate feelings towards other people decline. Billionaire Wilderness: The Ultra-Wealthy and the Remaking of the American West by Justin Farrell sounds like an interesting read along these same lines.

    Finally! The Trailer for the Coyote vs. ACME Movie.
    We thought this day would never come. But we kept the faith and now we can begin to reap the rewards: there is actually a trailer for the Coyote vs. ACME movie and the movie itself is actually coming out on Aug 28. Quick recap of the situation so far: Ian Frazier wrote a story for the New Yorker in 1990 about an imagined lawsuit brought by Wile E. Coyote against the Acme Company. Fast forward to 2022-23: James Gunn, Dave Green, Will Forte, and others make a movie based on the NYer article…and then Warner Bros. shelves the movie to take a tax write-off. Like, they are going to destroy the completed film. And now, somehow, miraculously, Warner seems to have finally done the right thing and sold the rights to the film so it can be released (which is theoretically the primary reason for their business, releasing movies).

    Dave Pearson: blogmore.el v4.2
    Another wee update to blogmore.el, with a bump to v4.2. After adding the webp helper command the other day, something about it has been bothering me. While the command is there as a simple helper if I want to change an individual image to webp -- so it's not intended to be a general-purpose tool -- it felt "wrong" that it did this one specific thing. So I've changed it up and now, rather than being a command that changes an image's filename so that it has a webp extension, it now cycles through a small range of different image formats. Specifically it goes jpeg to png to gif to webp. With this change in place I can position point on an image in the Markdown of a post and keep running the command to cycle the extension through the different options.

For people who like Hugo’s auto building & serving but who want to not spend hours fiddling with config files to have a fine-looking site, Bastien Guerry has published orgy. The code is on codeberg and the tutorial is on Bastien’s site. The whole thing depends on bbin, which is an installer for babashka things. With babashka being a native Clojure interpreter for scripting, implemented using the Small Clojure Interpeter. So you have (SCI >) babashka > bbin > orgy. orgy takes an org files directory and transforms it into a nice-looking website with navigation, tags, an rss feed and plenty of other goodies. orgy server serves the thing on localhost:1888 and automatically rebuilds the site after each modification. orgy was announced on the 14th of April on the French emacs list.

    Charlie Holland: A VOMPECCC Case Study: Spotify as Pure ICR in Emacs
    1. About   emacs completion Figure 1: JPEG produced with DALL-E 3 first post argued that Incremental Completing Read (ICR) is not merely a UI convenience but a structural property of an interface, and that Emacs is one of the few environments where completion is exposed as a programmable substrate rather than a sealed UI. The second post broke the substrate into eight packages (collectively VOMPECCC), each solving one of the six orthogonal concerns of a complete completion system. In this post, I show, concretely, what it looks like when you build with VOMPECCC, by walking through the code of spot, a Spotify client I implemented as a pure ICR application in Emacs. A word I'll use throughout this post to refer to the use of VOMPECCC in spot is shim, and it is worth qualifying that.…  ( 51 min )
    James Dyer: Highlighting git changes in a buffer with diff-hl
    Lately I’ve found myself wanting a better, more fine-grained view of what’s going on in a file under git. For some reason, my default workflow has been to keep jumping in and out of project-vc-dir to check changes. It gets the job done, but honestly it’s a bit of a hassle. What I really wanted was something right there in the buffer. Not a full-on inline diff (that gets messy fast I would guess), but just a small visual hint, something that lets me “see” what’s changed without breaking my flow. Turns out, that’s exactly what diff-hl does! It’s super lightweight and just highlights changes in the fringe. Nothing flashy but just enough to keep you aware of what you’ve modified. Once you start using it, it feels kind of weird not having it. One thing I really like is how nicely it plays with the built-in VC tools, move to a buffer position that aligns with a highlighted change, hit C-x v = and it jumps straight to the relevant hunk in the diff. No friction, no extra thinking, it just works. Here’s the setup I’m using: (use-package diff-hl :ensure t :hook (dired-mode . diff-hl-dired-mode) :config (global-diff-hl-mode 1) (diff-hl-flydiff-mode 1) (unless (display-graphic-p) (diff-hl-margin-mode 1))) By default, diff-hl-mode only updates when you save the file. That’s okay, but enabling diff-hl-flydiff-mode makes it update as you type, which feels more intuitive. Oh, and that dired-mode hook? That turns on diff-hl-dired-mode, which gives you a quick visual overview of changed files right inside dired. It’s one of those small touches that ends up being surprisingly useful. If you’ve got repeat-mode enabled, you can also hop through changes with C-x v ] and C-x v [, which makes reviewing edits really smooth. I am enjoying diff-hl and is quietly improving my workflow without getting in my way. Simple, fast, and just really nice to have.  ( 1 min )

    The Leaf Sheep Slug: The Animal That Eats Sunshine
    This is an animal called the leaf sheep: It’s a species of slug that is partially solar-powered, like a plant. Leaf sheep are kleptoplastic organisms that steal chloroplasts from algae, store them in their bodies, and then can rely on photosynthesis for their energy needs: The Costasiella sea slug not only looks like a succulent—it acts like one, too. One of the few animals able to photosynthesize, this tiny invertebrate (also known as the leaf slug or leaf sheep) acquires chloroplasts by munching on Avrainvillea, a paddle-shaped seaweed with a velvety texture. It then stores those chloroplasts in its own body, which enables the slug to soak up sunlight and transform it into energy—a process that also gives the mollusk its green color. The chloroplasts are stored in the horn-shaped structures called cerata located on the slugs’ backs. Cerata evolved to increase the surface area of these animals for use in respiration and surface area is very helpful if you run on solar panels. And they’re also cute as a button!

    Criterion x Every Frame a Painting: The Edges of Wuxia
    Every Frame a Painting’s Taylor Ramos & Tony Zhou are back with a video essay about pushing the boundaries of genre in Tsui Hark’s 1995 film The Blade. One reason filmmakers like to work in a genre is that it gives us a pre-made box: a set of expectations, tropes, and boundaries. On the one hand, we want to play within that box, and on the other, we want to push against its edges. Tsui Hark’s The Blade is an exploration and a deconstruction of the box that is wuxia. If you’re not familiar with wuxia, the video explains the genre; it’s basically Chinese martial arts fantasy — think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or Hero.

    NYT’s The Town that Reveals all of Trumps Bad Economic Ideas
    From the comments: worked in Hong Kong in the 2001 to 2010 period in the consulting business. Every week I would see small groups of US small/medium manufacturing owners being wined and dined by Chinese factory owners and their Western intermediaries. The US business owners were told how much cheaper the products could be produced in China, how much their profits would grow, and very importantly, how they would never have to deal with lazy, undeserving American workers again. That last part was usually spoken by the Western intermediary (the Chinese were too polite) and really got the US business owners excited. My point: the US small (and large) manufacturers sold out their own workers. How convenient to blame the Chinese. @Nelson as an employer for the last 50 years? US born workers for the most part come with a lot of baggage. an over developed sense of entitlement, substance abuse problems and finally a lack of skills. for a good 15 years my crews were recently arrived Irish and Mexican. whenever I hired a US born person of any ethnicity they didn't last for one or more of the reasons mentioned above. now I live in a more remote area and US born white workers make up the majority of the shallow labor pool. it takes a lot of investment in time and supervision and psycho analyzing these workers to make them skilled and reliable. I hate trump and his policies but we have an entire segment of our population that needs a lot of attention and investment. they are the reason we have trump. submitted by /u/guy_fleegman83 [link] [comments]

    Emacs Redux: Batppuccin and Tokyo Night Themes Land on MELPA
    Quick heads-up: my two newest Emacs themes are now on MELPA, so installing them is a plain old package-install away. batppuccin is my take on the popular Catppuccin palette. Four flavors (mocha, macchiato, frappe, latte) across the dark-to-light spectrum, each defined as a proper deftheme that plays nicely with load-theme and theme-switching packages. tokyo-night is a faithful port of folke’s Tokyo Night, with all four upstream variants included (night, storm, moon, day). Both themes come with broad face coverage out of the box (e.g. magit, vertico, corfu, marginalia, transient, flycheck, doom-modeline, and many, many more), a shared palette file per package, and the usual *-select, *-reload, and *-list-colors helpers. Installation is now as simple as you’d expect: (use-package batppuccin-theme :ensure t :config (load-theme 'batppuccin-mocha t)) (use-package tokyo-night-theme :ensure t :config (load-theme 'tokyo-night t)) If you’re curious about the design decisions behind these themes, I’ve covered the rationale in a couple of earlier posts. Batppuccin: My Take on Catppuccin for Emacs explains why I bothered with another Catppuccin port when an official one already exists. Creating Emacs Color Themes, Revisited zooms out to the broader topic of building and maintaining Emacs themes in 2026. Give them a spin and let me know what you think. That’s all I have for you today. Keep hacking!  ( 2 min )
