Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

New theory, with the advent of AI, KOC has vibe-coded his offense since 2025, seems like that kinda guy. Thoughts @lukebraunnfl.bsky.social?

"Will Reichard with a 12-3 lead over the Dolphins," fair play, it's a good call

Come the fuck on, he's a runner not a QB at that point. Weak

It's depressing that I can express distaste at the idea of Tyreek Hill being signed by the Vikings and people think that it's just virtue-signalling. As if it's not a normal reaction to a team you support being linked to a domestic abuser.

Next game I want to chart the play clock every time the Vikings get to the line and the opposition. I feel this would be revealing

Why would you not kick for the touchback there (especially after last year Vs the Bears). Our ST coaching is criminal

@lukebraunnfl.bsky.social I called it. Easy call tbh, but still

I don't think it's a coincidence that QBs under KOC look either great or unplayable in the NFL. I think his offense requires an incredibly rare skillset, and we got lucky with Darnold having it

Can we try out McCarthy. He's probably shite too, but at least he's not obviously washed like the other two.

Murray's bad, Wentz is bad, Nine is bad. Love the Vikings.

Ed Comber @ejcomber.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
The fact the basic bitch Wentz offense continues to move better than the full-fat KOC offense is maybe more a reflection on KOC than Carson Wentz. @lukebraunnfl.bsky.social

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

I'd add to this that your public persona has a far greater impact on the world than what you were like in private. Rod Liddle's public output actively made the world a worse place, and that harm cannot possibly be outweighed by being good company in private.

Yeah, I've been trying to get through to a lot of people about that, I'm not "cancelling someone because I disagree with her opinions," I'm explaining that every time you go see the Harry Potter play or buy a pair of Hufflepuff socks, you are personally directly funding a hate campaign

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

It's quite nice having two genuine world class players in your team (and I also think Rice would get into basically any team as well, albeit a tier below).

0-0, not a lot of goalmouth action, but actually a pretty decent game tbh. Also, good ref imo.

The Swiss team and perceptions thereof are fascinating to me. Never rated as a dark horse to make a run, but always respected (whilst being slightly forgotten these days). And I think it's probably the correct perception, feels like they always get exactly as far as they should but no further.

Unusual feeling, but every game I've watched (didn't watch Morocco-Canada and had no strong feelings) in this round has gone the way I wanted, even ended up rooting for France because of the Paraguay anti-football. Now Egypt, you have one job to complete this.

Watching how Portugal's opportunities in transition just fade out because Ronaldo can't keep up, and also makes any attempt at high pressure useless, and there are actually people out there who think he doesn't hinder the team.

This is exactly what led me to despise the Labour left (partial exception for McDonnell as he actually played the game), but they constantly did and do stupid shit that makes playing politics on hard mode even harder. That's not principle, that's guaranteeing you'll stay irrelevant...

It's such a defining example of his failure. Had he arrived in Downing Street and immediately announced it as a moral imperative it would have won over much of PLP and voter coalition.

There is undoubtedly a current of antisemitism which exists on the left, but the loudest critics of it in much of the media undermine their case constantly with this kind of nonsense, which makes it basically come across as a partisan attack.

I remember a conversation with my grandparents (my grandmother died a decade ago) with them complaining about immigrants whilst they lived in an almost entirely white village in Gloucestershire. This happened shortly after I'd read research about concern about immigration being higher in areas...

I am shocked that it was completely overblown by vested interests and general grifters. Seems like a pretty good policy all-told then.
