Debunking one of gaming’s famous myths:
In the late 90s a Zelda rock song was uploaded to Limewire and misattributed to the band System of a Down
The vocal similarity still has people believing SOAD created it, but actually it was performed by Joe Pleiman for The Rabbit Joint
It's insanely early for any real statistical evaluation, but it is not a coincidence PCA is already at the top of the OAA leaderboard after a handful of games.
All about opportunities at this point, so he's lucky to have among the most, but he also hasn't missed any.
Pete Crow-Armstrong did it again yesterday, snagging this Mike Trout rocket that had a catch probability of just 35%.
Nobody makes plays look easier (so easy that many don't believe the numbers). Just check out how fast he's already moving when the camera gets to him, his brilliance is in the first second of the play into his top 1% speed.
Some takeaways from Ben Johnson's 30-minute session at the NFC coaches breakfast
-Said he found out about Drew Dalman's decision to retire in mid-February. Team quickly pivoted to Garrett Bradbury, who they believe "will fit us like a glove"
-Johnson on left tackle: "There's a lot of uncertainty there." Said he's not sure the Bears will have Ozzy Trapilo during the 2026 season after Trapilo suffered a "pretty serious injury" with his ruptured patellar tendon." Johnson said it's hard to say what the Bears left tackle position will look like this year or in five years.
-Braxton Jones is up to 310 pounds and looked "yolked" when Johnson saw him come in to sign his contract during free agency. Said Jones is eager to get his career trajectory back on track.
-Johnson isn't happy with the offensive staff for how they didn't coach WRs to get open enough. Emphasized getting back to fundamentals in OTAs on catching the ball to address drop issues.
-Johnson and the Bears staff recently turned on the tape from Family Fest at Soldier Field in early August 2025 (the really sloppy practice that featured a bunch of delay of game penalties) to see where they were starting camp last year and how much further ahead they want to be in OTAs with the offense.
-New OC Press Taylor (formerly the passing game coordinator) is "the most organized coach I've ever been around" per Johnson. Noted his "library of plays" for how to beat different defenses and how he organizes information as a benefit to Johnson in Taylor's new role.
-Johnson said coaches will be "hyper vigilant" to any complacency and entitlement after the success of last season. While he was happy to hear from fans/supporters "for about a week" about how exciting the 2025 season was, he said he doesn't want to hear anymore about how good the Bears were as they have moved on to 2026.
-New safety Coby Bryant wowed Johnson with a 'holy cow, it-factor' in terms of his leadership. Will be a critical piece to replace the leadership void created by Kevin Byard's departure.
-Johnson noted how "challenging" it was to form relationships with Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon last year given how both missed significant time with injuries. "We're starting over completely this spring" with their relationships so he has a better chance to get to know these players.
Government officials are asked about their own statistics showing a gender pay gap in Australia.
They end up being forced to admit that the entire gap could be explained with the fact that women work less hours than men.
Absolutely brutal takedown.
Drew Dalman's retirement came as a surprise in Chicago, but the Bears quickly pivoted to Garrett Bradbury, a veteran center they believe can maintain continuity along a fortifed offensive line. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
🚨 BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a full offline survival computer with AI, Wikipedia, and maps built in.
Project N.O.M.A.D. is an open-source offline survival computer.
Self-contained.
Zero internet required after install.
Zero telemetry. Everything runs locally on your hardware.
What it includes:
→ Full Wikipedia archives via Kiwix
→ Offline maps via OpenStreetMap
→ Local AI models via Ollama + Open WebUI
→ Calculators, reference tools, resource libraries
→ A management UI to control
everything from a browser
One curl command installs the entire system on any Debian-based machine.
Runs headless as a server so any device on your local network can access it.
Minimum specs to run the base system: dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, 5GB storage.
To run local LLMs offline, you want 32GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 or better.
No accounts.
No authentication by default.
No cloud dependency.
No phone-home behavior.
Built to function when nothing else does.
The grid, the cloud, the API you depend on. None of it is guaranteed.
The people building local-first systems right now are the ones who won’t be asking for help when access disappears.
