I recently read a November 23, 2025 Morning Brew report by Adam Epsttein titled America’s oldest sport is drawing up new plays. The artticle is about a new professional lacrosse league called Premier Lacrosse League (“PLL”). To be sure, I had not previously heard of PLL, but PLL is not the focus of this things I...
I just published a short post on The Vending Company’s 2025 snacks and drinks survey focusing on my surprise that Pepsi took the first place ranking over Coca Cola (see survey). I focused on the top two in that post, butt I found another point which surprised me. Diet Coke came in 4th place on the soda ranking,...
The Vending Company surveyed 1736 respondents about their favorite snacks and sodas (see survey summary and article about the survey). Pepsi narrowly won the soda category with 207 votes to Coca Cola’s 190. I would have assumed that Coke would win all the soda surveys. Go figure. I would take Coke over Pepsi, but I...
I mentioned in my previous post that I could not send our regular weekly newsletter due to a formatting issue in Buttondown. Fortunately, my support request was answered quickly. It turned out that I had an extraneous tag in the header (it had not caused any issues before this week). I sent the email. In so doing, I...
I use Buttondown to host my weekly newsletter, wherein I share links from this site and The New Leaf Journal as well as 21 links from around the web and other news and notes. I had finished drafting my newsletter. Unfortunately, Buttondown is producing garbled formatting that I would not want to put in anyone’s...
On November 25, 2025, President Donald Trump proclaimed that November 27, 2025, would be a National Day of Thanksgiving. From the start of the Proclamation: In 1789, just years after America’s triumph over tyranny in the Revolutionary War, President George Washington established the first National Day of...
Replied to ‘AI elves’ dominating holiday shopping trends, marketing insiders say by Sean Salai (The Washington Times) Digital elves are fast replacing Santa’s helpers when people buy holiday gifts, according to marketing experts who say AI companions have become the preferred way to hunt for deals. I subscribe to a...
From What are we gonna do about turf fields? by Molly Liebergall in Morning Brew (November 23, 2025): Rip ’em all up, if it were up to NFL players. It seems nothing has been able to stop synthetic fields—not the league’s widespread preference for real grass, not mounting evidence of safety risks, and not the bad...
November 25 marks New York’s Evacuation Day. What is Evacuation Day? I humbly cite to me: New York’s Evacuation Day, not to be confused with Massachusetts’ Evacuation Day, is a former New York annual holiday that fell on November 25. It marked the organized November 25, 1783 British evacuation of New York City,...
I just published my thoughts on chapter 2 of Tokyo Mirage Sessions. I also played through the intermission between chapters 2 and 3, so I will offer some brief takes on what I saw and did. A new area opens up in the over-world in the second intermission: Harajuku. The main highlight besides new side-quests and...
I recently finished chapter 2 of Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE: Encore for the Nintendo Switch. I previously published my thoughts on the prologue, chapter 1, and the first intermission. Continuing with the theme, I now cover chapter 2. The writing continues to be unimpressive when measured up against Fire Emblem: Three...
“They” say that my main internet writing project, The New Leaf Journal, is one of the “most popular” websites on the world wide web. Many fledgling websites link to my writing because of my big popularity. For example, last January, some puny website called The Athletic (owned by The New York Times, whatever that...
