Young men: Overcome your lust and be very, very selective about who you’re intimate with. Casual sex has a lot of consequences even if you did nothing legally wrong. Even then it can destroy your life. Find a good woman, get married and start a family. You’ll be much happier.

Colby, Evangelical in OCIA: “I didn’t know Catholics believe the Mass is literally the connection between heaven & earth. That’s why there’s super deep reverence behind everything they do. Protestantism stripped away the depth & the beauty. Catholics take it to another level.”

A Goldman trader got passed over for partner, quit, made $4 billion in one year, then paid $43.5 million for the beach house his old boss lost in the divorce and bulldozed it.

That's the version everybody shares. What it leaves out is what the old boss was doing those same years, and honestly it's way worse.

The trader is David Tepper. He joined Goldman in 1985 and was running its brand new junk bond desk within six months. His desk made the firm a ton of money, but he was loud and he cursed a lot, and Goldman back then was a place where you got ahead by being polished. He got passed over for partner twice. The guy he blamed was the head of his division, Jon Corzine.

Tepper quit in December 1992 and started his own fund with $57 million. Corzine went on to run Goldman, and even after Hank Paulson pushed him out in 1999, he left with a stake worth about $400 million when the firm went public.

Fast forward to early 2009. Citigroup was trading under a dollar, Bank of America was around $3, and half of Wall Street thought the government was about to take over the banks. Tepper figured Washington would never let them die, so he bought as much as he could get his hands on. His fund was up more than 130% that year and he personally made about $4 billion.

Now watch what Corzine does next.

In March 2010 he took over a brokerage called MF Global. Two months later Tepper wired $43.5 million to Corzine's ex-wife for the Hamptons house. And that summer Corzine started loading up on bonds from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Belgium, eventually $6.3 billion of them, because he was sure Europe would never let those countries go broke. If that sounds familiar, it's basically Tepper's bank trade pointed at Europe.

In 2011 the bulldozers came for the house, and on Halloween of that year MF Global filed for bankruptcy.

Every single one of those European bonds ended up paying back in full. Corzine was right about the bet, and his company still never saw the payout because the money showed up months after it went under.

What killed him was how much he borrowed. MF Global had about $40 of debt for every $1 of its own money, and at that ratio a 2.5% drop in what you own wipes you out. So when those bonds dipped, the lenders wanted more cash right away, the ratings agencies downgraded the firm, and the whole thing was over in about a week. Tepper owned his bank stocks outright enough to just sit there and wait for everyone to calm down.

Tepper is worth $28.5 billion today, about 71 times what Corzine walked away from Goldman with. Getting passed over for partner turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him, and he has his old boss to thank for it.

Holy sh*t. Claude Code just found a hidden chip inside my Chinese power bank from Guangzhou. Every time I charged my iPhone, it quietly copied the whole phone…

It also read our saved Wi-Fi password off my iPhone, got onto our home network and sent everything to a server.

I bought it for $19 at an airport kiosk there 3 weeks ago. No brand, 30,000 mAh on the label, and it felt heavy.

The first time I plugged in, the screen asked "Trust This Computer?". I tapped Trust without thinking and went on with my day. That one tap gave it access to everything.

This morning I finally set up Claude Code to warn me when any device starts reading my files. An hour later, 10 seconds into charging, the screen filled with yellow warnings, then red ones: data was moving when it should only be charging.

I asked Claude Code what was going on. My phone saw the power bank as a small computer with 64 GB of storage and its own internet connection.

A USB cable has wires for power and wires for data, and a normal charger only uses the power ones. This one used both, and it had already copied all of this:

→ /device → IMEI and serial number
→ /contacts → 1,206 numbers
→ /apps → every app I have, including my 2 bank apps
→ /photos → 3,912 pictures, my passport among them
→ /wifi → our network name and its key
→ /wife's iPhone → her photos too, she charged from it twice and tapped Trust too

Each time we plugged in, it used that key to get online and send out the new files:

sends to → 47.***.***.12
uploads → 19 in 3 weeks
last one → last night at 2:14, while we slept

I pulled the cable right away. Then Claude Code blocked that address on our router and walked me through changing the Wi-Fi password and the logins for my bank apps.

I had it opened at a repair shop, and what was inside is in the first comment. A 30-second check for your own is in the second one. Save this and test every power bank in your house today.

The moment a human being draws a last breath, Catholic doctrine teaches that the soul steps immediately—without delay or reprieve—into the presence of Christ the Judge. This encounter, called the particular judgment, is the private, irrevocable verdict rendered on one individual life. As one of my seminary professors was in the habit of saying, “the person who we are at the moment of death, is the person we shall be for eternity.”

Unlike the general judgment at the end of time, when every soul will be publicly vindicated or condemned before the assembled universe, the particular judgment is intimate: only the soul, its conscience, and God.

At that instant the entire moral history of the person is laid bare. Every grace offered, every commandment kept or broken, every secret motive and public act passes before the divine light. The standard is not abstract perfection but fidelity to the light each person actually received: the natural law written on the heart, the revealed law of Scripture and Tradition, and the unique vocation inscribed by Providence.

Three outcomes alone are possible.

Souls who die in perfect love, detached from all sin, enter at once into the bliss of heaven—often, the Church adds, after a final cleansing in purgatory. Souls who die in friendship with God yet still bearing the temporal effects of forgiven sin are admitted to purgatory, a state of purifying joy that ends infallibly in heaven. Souls who die in unrepented mortal sin, having freely chosen final separation from God, enter hell: the eternal ratification of their own refusal of love.

Scripture states the principle plainly: “It is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Heb 9:27). The Catechism distills two millennia of teaching: “Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ… Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of his death” (CCC 1021–1022).

Thus the particular judgment is not a preliminary hearing but the definitive sentence. No reincarnation, no second probation, no mitigation after the soul leaves the body. The doctrine therefore invests every earthly choice with everlasting weight and every confession with urgent hope. In the unforgettable words of Saint John of the Cross, “At the evening of life, we shall be judged on love.” Catholic faith replies: the examination begins the very second the evening falls.

Claude Code found that your iPhone keeps a photo of your face every single time you unlock it. i had 31,000 photos of my face on my phone that i never took. some of them were taken at 3am while i was half asleep.

my phone was running slow so i connected it to my MacBook and ran Claude Code to check storage. it flagged a directory i didn't know existed with 31,247 images. every one was a photo of my face taken by Face ID at the moment of unlock. going back to 2024.

Claude Code sorted them by time and that's when it got weird.

→ thousands of photos taken between midnight and 5am. me half asleep, eyes barely open, lying in bed next to my wife
→ 2 photos that aren't me. someone unlocked my phone while i was sleeping in December 2024
→ photos where i'm visibly crying. i know exactly which days those were
→ photos from the bathroom. from the car at a red light. in the dark at 4am when i couldn't sleep
→ a photo of my wife trying to unlock my phone at 2am with my face while i was asleep. it failed but Face ID still cached her face

Face ID doesn't just scan your face. it takes a full image, caches it locally, and never deletes it. Apple never wipes this cache.

Claude Code checked which apps had access to this directory. 14 apps with full photo library permission could read every single one of these images. a weather app. a food delivery app. a free game my kid installed.

the 2 photos that weren't me - Claude Code pulled the timestamps. December 14, 2024, 3:47am and 3:51am. someone picked up my phone and unlocked it with their face while i was sleeping. Face ID failed both times but still cached the image. i still don't know who it was.

what Claude Code did:

→ purged the entire Face ID image cache
→ revoked photo library access from every app that doesn't need it
→ found 2 more hidden directories caching face data from FaceTime and the front camera

i went from 14 apps with photo access to 3.

the full prompt is in the first reply. takes 3 minutes. you probably have thousands of photos of yourself you've never seen. save it and send it to anyone with an iPhone.

This is my family. I refused warrantless entry because the Fourth Amendment still applies when CPS shows up with armed deputies. I offered a welfare check without police; they refused.

The next day they returned with emergency removal orders and took both of our daughters, including our one-month-old breastfeeding infant, and placed them in a foster home with a single father of 3 boys 😠. There was no criminal charge against us and no emergency. After an emergency hearing the court dismissed the removal order. Every major finding was later reversed as unfounded, and DFS abandoned its appeal. The damage—especially to a nursing mother and newborn—was already done.

I have since filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit (Yazdani v. Mieszala et al., EDVA 1:26-cv-03365) over separate LCSO misconduct. Accountability for the CPS side is next.

We are not the only Loudoun family to raise these issues. Sarah Legg (@sarahgracelegg) posted a detailed personal statement describing her own experience with the same worker: she alleges Kelli Hedrick abused her position, coordinated with law enforcement to have her arraigned while eight months pregnant (threatening jail, a fine, and re-education), and showed a pattern of manipulative conduct and poor judgment toward families. She specifically called out “deep concerns about Kelli Hedrick’s judgment, conduct, and influence on families and the local agencies of Loudoun County.”

My friend checked into a hotel with his girlfriend, ran a single script in Claude Code, and found out in 90 seconds that a hidden camera was running right behind the bathroom mirror

After what he told me, neither of us even unpacks a suitcase in a hotel or an Airbnb anymore until a laptop by the door finishes one full sweep

One prompt runs a 5-stage audit strictly in read-only mode:

-> Wi-Fi radar: scans the local network via nmap, resolves manufacturers from MAC addresses, and instantly flags hidden cameras and ports streaming continuous video

-> Bluetooth interceptor: listens across the room via the bleak library for unknown AirTag, Tile, and SmartTag trackers while spotting hotel locks on ancient firmware that open from the hallway

-> Spyware detector: audits your phone against the open-source Amnesty MVT toolkit and exposes hidden iconless processes quietly leaking your location or mic audio

-> Optical lens sweep: if the hotel isolates guest devices on the network, the agent walks you step by step with a flashlight across every bathroom mirror, vent, and angle facing the bed

-> Priority report: builds one clean table ranking the risk level of every suspicious device and tells you the exact next move: from demanding another room to calling the police

The agent never logs into anything, never hacks foreign devices, and translates 500 lines of raw network traffic into plain English in 2 minutes

I would rather spend 2 minutes with an open terminal in the hallway than spend the whole trip being watched

The full sweep prompt is below, just copy and paste ↓
