Cal Newport on Big AI “Doom Trolling”

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

Cabbage Sorter’s Review of Shiki (Anime)

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

Tatakiage Recruits in Sumo

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

Ambient Irony on Amodei vs Altman

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

The Case Against Share Buttons

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

How I’ll Take My Coffee

Simon at Firesphere.dev wrote a short post titled If you want to buy me a coffee in response to a hot take post on the IndieWeb against "Buy Me a Coffee" buttons on blogs or capitalism or something. But instead of joining the button debate, he stated what kind of cofee he would like for...

AI Slop About Medieval London

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

Turning a Blog Into a Book

Wouter Groeneveld published a blog post on his blog, Brain Baking, titled The Archivist In Me Turned This Blog Into a Book. I have thought about creating a book from the millions of words I have published on The New Leaf Journal, so I read Mr. Groeneveld's article with interest. His project is along the...

Static Site Webmentions

Blogger Michael Harley wrote a post about adding webmention support to his blog. I am pro-webmention (see my NLJ post on site-to-site conversations, so I sent my congratulations in webmention form. He explained that he had previously held off on implementing webmentions because his particular static site generator set-up had made it complicated. To be...

A Moka Pot Pen

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

Giving Defunct Blogs Proper Burials

Robert Birming published an interesting short blog post titled Where do blogs go when they die? He noted having noticed that many blog posts shared in recent years by participants in his Junited initiative are no more. From the outset, I agree with Mr. Birming that bloggers can end their blogs at any time and...

The History Blog and Japanese Saws

I follow The History Blog by psuedynmous blogger livius. It features blog posts about history (surprise?) focusing significantly on archaeology news. Significantly, The History Blog links to sources. Take for example a June 6, 2026 blog post titled Oldest iron saw in Japan identified. The post summarizes a linked Asahi Shimbun report on what appears...

Shooting Successfully With Any Footwork in Basketball

I came across Brian McCormick's Hard2Guard Player Development Newsletter, which focuses on coaching basketball, via Mike Klinzing's Hoops Head Podcast Newsletter (Hoops Head inspired one of my recent memories articles). I had almost included Mr. McCormick's On Being a Generalist in my NLJ 6th Birthday Blogging Wisdom Series, but I ended up saving it for...

No Grand Slam Winners in 2026 French Open Men’s R16

I watched a good amount of most of tennis' grand slams from about 2000 through 2013 or so. I was a Roger Federer fan, and for a good chunk of that period, you could always count on Mr. Federer playing late into the Slam (he had a record 23 consecutive Semifinals appearances from Wimbledon 2004...

On Personal Search Engines

I read a blog post titled Personal Search Engines with interest (HT Steve Makofsky). The author, Jason J. Gullickson, describes building a prototype federated personal search engine seeded with domains from his RSS feed collection. I like the idea of a personal search engine and have had trying YaCy to that effect on my personal...

Self-Hosting Adventures (Kenneth Reitz)

I stumbled upon a blog post by Kenneth Reitz on his personal blog via Bubbles. The essay, titled Self-Hosting Adventures, is well-advertised by its headline. While my personal set-up does not have much in common with his, I appreciated the walk-through and a distinction he makes between tools one uses and tools one relies upon....

Game Publishers Move to Avoid GTA 6 (Rob Fahey)

Games Industry.biz (GIb) is a news website which covers the video game industry (surprise!). I have had GIb in my feed collection for a couple of years, and it has informed two NLJ articles in Provocative Out-Of-Context Headlines (GiB was responsible for the "context" rather than the headline) and AI Game Worlds and Humane Games....
