Welcome back to Media Matters’ weekly newsletter. This week:  Some right-wing media pundits are starting to question Trump’s age and mental acuity.  Right-wing Christian media is doubling down on supporting Trump’s Iran war.  Right-wing media figures accused Trump of “blasphemy” for posting a picture of himself looking like Jesus.  The Trumps turned Fox’s “Biden Crime Family” conspiracy theory into a business plan. Retired Gen. Jack Keane is a major Fox News Iran war hawk. The network appears not to have disclosed that he sits on the board of two defense contractors.

Right-wing media are struggling to reach a consensus about Viktor Orbán’s loss to Peter Magyar in Hungary’s general election on April 12. Some figures have called it a “major loss” for conservatives while others tried to find positive things to say about the results. During his 16 years in power, Orbán became a close ally of President Donald Trump, his administration, and conservative media in the United States, specifically former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Just before Orbán’s loss, Vice President JD Vance even traveled to Budapest for a campaign appearance with Orbán, at an event where some attendees were reportedly “wearing red MAGA hats.” Magyar told reporters this week that Orbán had “diverted Hungarian taxpayer funds toward financing” the Conservative Political Action Conference. Orbán has been praised by right-wing media figures for his hard-line stance on immigration and his crackdown on freedom of the press, so his ouster has been a point of discussion this week among conservative pundits. Podcaster Glenn Beck claimed that the Trump administration needs to see Orbán’s loss as a lesson and that they should be working harder to "drain the swamp" in D.C. Fox News' Brian Kilmeade said he was “glad” Orbán lost because of his close ties to Putin. Daily Wire hosts Michael Knowles and Ben Shapiro were split on the issue — Knowles argued Orbán's loss was a "loss for conservatives" while Shapiro claimed it was not a "switch away from conservatism" for Hungary.  ( 4 min )

The Bodega Cats of New York project documents the working cats of NYC’s delis, bodegas, and corner stores. The cat at the local deli wasn’t a pet. She knew the regulars. She kept the mice out.

I’d vaguely heard of Project Plowshare but good god, what a ridiculous and dangerous waste of time and money. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear weapons were seen not only as devices of destruction, but also as tools for progress. Project Plowshare was a bold attempt to use atomic explosions for more practical purposes: from digging canals and creating harbors to reshaping entire landscapes. This project was designed to push the limits of what seemed possible, but instead turned into an environmental disaster. This reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons when Homer buys a gun and uses it around the house for everything, like changing the TV channel and opening beer cans. If the only tool you have is a hammer… Tags: Cold War · nuclear bombs · science · video  ( 3 min )

Following on from yesterday's experiment with webp I got to thinking that it might be handy to add a wee command to blogmore.el that can quickly swap an image's extension from whatever it is to webp. So v4.1 has happened. The new command is simple enough, called blogmore-webpify-image-at-point; it just looks to see if there's a Markdown image on the current line and, if there is, replaces the file's extension with webp no matter what it was before. If/when I decide to convert all the png files in the blog to webp I'll obviously use something very batch-oriented, but for now I'm still experimenting, so going back and quickly changing the odd image here and there is a nicely cautious approach. I have, of course, added the command to the transient menu that is brought up by the blogmore command. One other small change in v4.1 is that a newly created post is saved right away. This doesn't make a huge difference, but it does mean I start out with a saved post that will be seen by BlogMore when generating the site.  ( 1 min )

Most people don’t read — they complete patterns (and that’s why small changes create massive perception errors) There’s a common assumption that when we look at something—text, images, ideas—we’re actually reading it. Most of the time, we’re not. We’re completing it. Recognition replaces reading When something is familiar enough, the brain stops processing it at the level of detail. Instead of: parsing each word verifying each element it does: This is efficient. It’s also where errors start. The Wheel-of-Fortune effect Think about puzzles where part of a phrase is missing.

shows an example of his mathematical note taking in Emacs. It’s a nice example of how flexible Org mode is even for writing text with heavy mathematical content but probably not too interesting to most Emacs users. What should be interesting is this comment, which points to Dan Davison’s Xenops, which he describes as a “LaTeX editing environment for mathematical documents in Emacs.” The idea is that with Xenops when you leave a math mode block it is automatically rendered as the final mathematics, which replaces the original input. If you move the cursor onto the output text and type return, the original text is redisplayed. It’s an excellent system that lets you catch any errors you make in entering mathematics as you’re entering them rather than at LaTeX compile time. So far it only works on .tex files but Davison says he will work on getting it to work with Org too. He has a six minute video that shows the system in action. It gives a good idea of how it works but Xenops can do a lop more; see the repository’s detailed README at the above link for details.  ( 5 min )

boxquote.el is another of my oldest Emacs Lisp packages.

I wrote this code to mimic the "inclusion quoting" style in his Usenet posts. I could have hassled him for his code but it was far more fun to write it myself. While I never used this package to quote text I was replying to in Usenet posts, I did use it a lot on Usenet, and in mailing lists, and similar places, to quote stuff.

This is so cool: in the early 1900s, a mechanical engineer named Louis Brennan invented a self-balancing train that ran on a single track. This video demonstrates how the train worked using a clever system of gyroscopes. This is the Brennan Monorail, a train from the early 1900s that seemed to defy the laws of physics. Not only did it keep itself perfectly balanced on a single rail, but it mysteriously leaned into corners without any driver input. It’s kind of incredible how well Brennan’s system worked. It’s ingenious. (via messy nessy) Tags: engineering · inventions · Louis Brennan · physics · science · trains · video  ( 3 min )

The Royals did it again. They lost 2-1. The offense has now scored 2 or fewer runs in 11 of their first 18 games and in 7 of their last 8.

Some right-wing Christian media figures are continuing their support for President Donald Trump’s war with Iran even as some within the broader right-wing media ecosystem have split with the administration. These right-wing Christian media personalities — including several prophetic figures who claim to share prophecies, or messages from God, with their audiences — have celebrated that “God was brought in” by Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in public messaging of the war, and claimed that “we are on God's side” so “whatever we do would have His blessing.” Indeed, Trump and Hegseth have sometimes framed the war in religious terms, drawing support from right-wing Christian media figures, for whom Iran is reportedly “not just a strategic adversary but part of a prophetic story.”  ( 8 min )

2026 Apr 15 I wrote org-static-blog-emfed, a little Emacs package that extends org-static-blog with the ability to embed a Mastodon thread in a blog post to serve as comments. The root of the Mastodon thread also serves as an announcement of the blog post to your followers. It’s based on Adrian Sampson’s Emfed, and of course Bastian Bechtold’s org-static-blog. I had shared it before, but alas, after changing Mastodon instances the comments from old posts were lost, so I disabled them on this blog. Just over the past few days I’ve found time to get it all working again. It also seems, at least in #Emacs on Mastodon, that org-static-blog has gained in popularity recently. Prompted as I was to make a few improvements, I thought I would update the README and share it again. Hope it’s useful for someone! tags: emacs blog org-mode  ( 1 min )

I have been slowly chipping away at my Emacs-DIYer project, which is basically my ongoing experiment in rebuilding popular Emacs packages using only what ships with Emacs itself, no external dependencies, no MELPA, just the built-in pieces bolted together in a literate README.org that tangles to init.el. The latest addition is a DIY version of dired-collapse from the dired-hacks family, which is one of those packages I did not realise I leaned on until I started browsing a deeply-nested Java project and felt the absence immediately. If you have ever opened a dired buffer on something like a Maven project, or node_modules, or a freshly generated resource bundle, you will know the pain, src/ contains a single main/ which contains a single java/ which contains a single com/ which contains a…  ( 5 min )

Yet another older Emacs Lisp package that has had a tidy up. This one is slstats.el, a wee package that can be used to look up various statistics about the Second Life grid. It's mainly a wrapper around the API provided by the Second Life grid survey. When slstats is run, you get an overview of all of the information available. There are also various commands for viewing individual details about the grid in the echo area: slstats-signups - Display the Second Life sign-up count slstats-exchange-rate - Display the L$ -> $ exchange rate slstats-inworld - Display how many avatars are in-world in Second Life slstats-concurrency - Display the latest-known concurrency stats for Second Life slstats-grid-size - Display the grid size data for Second Life There is also slstats-region-info which will show information and the object and terrain maps for a specific region. As with a good few of my older packages: it's probably not that useful, but at the same time it was educational to write it to start with, and it can be an amusement from time to time.  ( 1 min )

Tab with Dired. By default, Tab isn’t defined in Dired but mbork suggests an excellent use for it and provides the code to implement his suggestion. If there are two Dired windows open, the default destination for Dired commands is “the other window”. That’s a handy thing that not every Emacs user knows. Mbork’s idea is to use Tab to switch between Dired windows. It’s a small thing, of course, but it’s a nice example of reducing friction in your Emacs workflow. As Mbork says, it’s yet another example of how easy it is to make small optimizations like this in Emacs.  ( 4 min )

SSH clipboard support WezTerm which already supports bidirectional kill & yank out of the box. But I can't bring my muscle memory to remember to use Ctrl+Shift+V to yank text in Emacs.

I’d vaguely remembered that Hulu was adapting The Testaments, Margaret Atwood’s follow-up to The Handmaid’s Tale, as a sequel to the TV series of the same name, but I was surprised to find out that the show has premiered and is already three episodes in (a fourth will be available today). The initial series lost its way after 2-3 seasons, but I still ended up watching the whole thing. I’ll probably give The Testaments a shot as well.
