I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

"Croesus then asked if he should make war on the Persians and if he should take to himself any allied force. The oracles to whom he sent this question included those at Delphi and Thebes. Both oracles gave the same response, that if Croesus made war on the Persians he would destroy a mighty empire."
“We propose to settle all the difficulty of the Dred Scott Decision by putting it into the Constitution. If a man is not a citizen of the country in which he is born, in God’s name of what country is he a citizen? If he may not live there, where has he a right to live?“

Om Patel y @om_patel5 stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free: below or write up a quick summary. Pepper |13:19:45 I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help? Anonymous User | 13:20:18 Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach. Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current = head while current: next_node = current.next current.next = prev prev = current current = next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time. Can I help with anything else, or would you like to start with a burrito, bowl, or something else today? Pepper|13:20:19 Order Issues Common Questions Where's my order?

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.
When I was a kid my parents told me if I didn't go to gatherings, people would stop inviting me. So that was a great tip I received early on.
No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...
INVENTOR: i have just created the push button
MARKETING GUY: should i do a press release
INVENTOR: that’s how it works, yes
Speaking of which, here's Marc and one of his partners talking up the idea of having kids "pop a Zyn and work at the factory all day" in case you're wondering what he thinks of the common people.
@DarriogMelanie on X: A top Trump official has been walking around with an electronic device gifted to him by senior foreign intelligence officials. Mar 14, 2026 Where are all of the “but, her emails,” Republicans on this one?
Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.
I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding
Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.
You thought NFTs were bad?
Wake up, babe, new fresh horrors await.
Must admit I did not know that stablecoin issuers hold more treasuries than Saudi Arabia or South Korea!
Proponents point to the opportunities, such as the potential digital expansion of the U.S. dollar’s hegemony and ability of the lightning-quick crypto blockchain to make the international payments system less expensive and more nimble.
This NYT article was mostly fine but... "lightning-quick crypto blockchain"?

When I saw this I honestly thought "Frazzledrip" was a joke.
Alas, no...
Just glad congress isn't alive to see all of this
The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Dorsey and his peers think that the recent attempts by tech workers to salvage even the barest modicum of human dignity are signs of "woke culture" that must be cruelly stamped out, ultimately through destroying their livelihoods. And they are playing for *keeps*. www.anildash.com/2026/01/06/5...
idk what yall are even fighting about but there are bigger fish to fry so cut it out
Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people.
ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.
I just read about this loathsome practice. A quarter of the time your *former employer* contests unemployment claims!
Radium -- I like this way of thinking about AI
This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.
Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."
After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc
Congratulations to Emerson, Lake & Palmer for winning the Grammy for Best Concept Album About An Armadillo Tank for the 54th year in a row
I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
