Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-08-26

There was no daily Pook-Emu Bee link post yesterday because it was Newsletter Leaf Journal day (see the links in Newsletter 270). But the next Newsletter is next Saturday. Below, I present the March 8 edition of Pook-Emu Bee.

Links from around the web

1. Revisiting Wilt’s Knee Injury Comeback (Harlan Schreiber. March 7, 2026.)

Inspired by Celtics star Jayson Tatum’s relatively quick return from a ruptured achilles tendon, Harlan Schrieber looks back at Wilt Chamberlain’s “quick return from a patella tendon rupture early in the 1969-70 season.”

1. Mamdani claims wife Rama Duwaji isn’t a public figure — despite glossy magazine profiles — after uproar over Oct. 7 post ‘likes’ (David Propper for the New York Post. March 6, 2026.)

For whatever it is worth I think the more significant issue (albeit one that was somewhat litigated in the election) is the high likelihood that he agrees with his wife.

1. Mastering Alt Text Generation: A Comprehensive Guide for SEO and Accessibility (Alt Audit. February 26, 2026.)

My commitment to running a humane site is underscored by my determination to manually handle the alt text descriptions, despite the fact that writing alt tech descriptions is the bane of my webmaster existence. Are they good? Probably not. Are they by a human being? Yes. This article on the other hand…

1. Bing AI promoted fake OpenClaw GitHub repo pushing info-stealing malware (Bill Toulas for Beeping Computer. March 5, 2026.)

Good malware plot. I can see people who think that running OpenClaw is a good idea being likely to not check where they are downloading OpenClaw.

1. My ISP Virgin Media is blocking VPNs via Parental Controls (Cybr Kyd. March 6, 2026.)

Almost every post I read about ISPs makes me appreciate the lack of trouble I have with Spectrum.

1. The Steak Debate: Quips and a Life Well-Done (Nicholas A. Ferrell at The New Leaf Journal. March 7, 2026.)

I dare say this is one of my better anecdote posts. But I know people out there are passionate about steak. What if I lose my readers?

Around the web photo of the day

1. Umekoji Park・梅小路公園 (Daniel Sofer. March 1, 2026.)

The trees aren’t flowering yet but it is “warm” today in Brooklyn, so this seemed fitting.
