  "textContent": "I missed publishing daily Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday due to a work deadline. But we are back today with nine new links from around the world wide web. 1. Famed Atheist Richard Dawkins — Author of ‘The God Delusion’ — Believes AI Is Conscious (Scott Pinsker for PJ Media. May 5, 2026.) My conscious brain is struggling to decide which of many possible one-liners to go with. Let us keep it simple and just say that I guess Mr. Dawkins is taking a leap of faith in the pages of UnHerd. (Now that he is done, I humbly and respectfully suggest that he put away the electronic devices and go outside.) 2. The NIH Has a Chance to End a 35-Year Taxpayer-Funded Failure (Liam Gray and Ryan Merkley for PJ Media. May 5, 2026.) No beagles would be hurt in that operation. 3. NYC judge ponders hellish squatter’s right to ‘liberty’ — as tenants live in fear: ‘What more does it take?’ (Peter Senzamici and Georgett Roberts for the New York Post. May 5, 2026.) Law abiding citizens have a way of coming in last in New York City. 4. Tensions Continue to Brew at Brooklyn Marine Terminal Board Meeting (Andrew Karpan for Brooklyn Reader. May 4, 2026.) Karen Blondel, president of the Red Hook West Resident Association, said she was not happy with being “intimidated” by volunteers from the Columbia Waterfront Neighborhood Association, that allegedly likened her to President Donald Trump as she sees opportunity for the NYCHA housing complex to join the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program, which would fund overdue renovations by bringing in private management., I appreciate that what we have here is a purely internecine Democrat struggle involving people in 90-10 Democrat neighborhoods in a city with single-party Democrat government, and their frame of reference for insulting each other is President Trump. Localism is dead. Long-live localism. 5. Answerman – The Crunchyroll Anime Awards (Jerome Mazandarani for Anime News Network. May 4, 2026.) I will submit for the record that I did not take the Crunchyroll Anime Awards seriously when I wrote about my picks last year. But my not taking them seriously is not why I am not publishing my picks for this year. That would be because I am almost a full year behind on anime at this point. 6. Mythos, Not the Iran War, Is the Most Significant Geopolitical Warning of Our Time (Frederick Kempe for Atlantic Council. April 30, 2026.) While I am not a big fan of the big AI players, I begrudgingly respect their ability to generate earned media coverage and free advertising from all corners of the internet. 7. Critics question whether keffiyeh-wearing Mamdani staffer was sending message of hate (Doree Lewak for the New York Post. May 2, 2026.) Speaking of begrudging, while I do not respect the outfit or the use of my tax money for never-ending campaign operations, I must begrudgingly respect the trolling. 8. The tournament is expanding. God help us all (Eamonn Brennan. April 29, 2026.) Expanding March Madness is obviously a money-grab, but in the end I must side with the disaffected take that it will not ultimately negatively effect the quality of play. 9. Bunny Garden 2 debuts as Japan’s number one top-selling game on both Steam and Switch (Dorde P for Automation West. April 17, 2026.) I have reviewed many Japanese visual novels. But this leads me to believe I do not have my finger on the pulse of what is popular over there.",
