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.

Thanks. I really don't care what parties have to say about ideologies. It sounds like they're cancelling a comic for bigotry. I care about war crimes, how we end the systematic killings, arms sales and a path to peace. But cos some want to grandstand we're talking about an abstract not the real.

which is why we should be cautious about talking about people who voted one time for Feinstein as a block of voters who just marched into the Greens, because they didn't all march into F's camp before that - voters make up their minds on basis of a host of reasons, many of which are not just tribal

Jim Jepps! @jimjepps.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I'd be tempted to argue it. After all Feinstein's supporters could have voted Green in 2024 and chose not to. Feinstein doesn't have mind control powers or even a party structure to push his endorsement so his previous supporters will, likely, fracture although, I'm assuming, most will lean Green.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Reading Piet Hein today and decided to make a Piet Hein-like Valentine's card for my husband. It is in Danish but it means something like "love is not just wine and roses but what is done in daily doses"

Piet Hein-like simple drawing of two stick figures holding hands looking at the stars.

A quote underneath says (in Danish)
kærlighed er ej
kun vin og roser
men det man gør
i daglige doser

What would you do if a ‘FOR SALE’ sign appeared outside your house without your agreement? That’s what has happened to several Sheffielders after a shadowy company called Tixerbon bought their freeholds. Now, an MP has written to the housing minister to decry their “incredibly misleading” tactics.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

If early release can be altered so as to exempt homicide offences, it should be. Prisoners who have caused the gravest harm should be among the last to benefit from the overcrowding crisis. But carving out exceptions for individual prisoners in response to media campaigns is weak and unprincipled.

The Peak District is burning — and where there’s fire, there’s smoke. Given Sheffield’s proximity to the park, it feels inevitable that, if more frequent and severe fires keep happening on the moors, they are going to have an increasing effect on us. The question is, can we do anything about it?
