Here’s one for you! Teoing Tumblr

I don’t even follow sports but I read this article breaking down the whole story this morning and the whole thing blows my mind. I would say if you’ve seen a lot of pictures and parodies, go for an event entry! Related: I’ve been trying to figure out how we can present a Catfish entry for months now (it’s kind of a meme but more a tv show, maybe a person entry on Nev?), so if anyone has any thoughts on that maybe i’ll start another thread

YouTuber Bo Burnham has been uploading comedy videos and songs since 2006. I’m Bo Yo (the song of his that I remember best) from June 2008 has more than 19 million views as of today.

He later helped build Infogami, a platform that hosts Open Library sites, which merged with Reddit in November 2005. After they were bought by Conde Nast, he worked for Wired for a short time. In 9/2007, he launched the web site creation platform Jottit and went on to join Harvard’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics through 2010 and 2011. Also in 2010, he...

Alright, here’s the game plan: there’s already mention of Aaron Swartz’ recent death in the Reddit entry but let’s try to put together a full Person entry for him today.
