Hey Unix history nerds:

Do we know who wrote tar(1)? Like, the original tar.c included in V7 Research Unix (which is the earliest one I can find). The list of potential culprits is pretty short, but there's no attribution I can find.

(If you have an answer, please clarify where you got it from, and reference any contemporaneous/primary sources if you've got them.)

“If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.

If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals.

If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution.

If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border.

If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.

And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.”

“There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment about the nature of sin, for example,” said Oats.

“And what do they think? Against it, are they?” said Granny Weatherwax.

“It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray.”

“Nope.”

“Pardon?”

“There’s no grays, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

“It’s a lot more complicated than that—”

“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes—”

“But they starts with thinking about people as things…”

Annual cost ` of SNAP: $113B Annual revenue lost through billionaire tax evasion: $163B GOP: The only solution to our debt crisis iS cutting $113B in food benefits. Also here's $4T more in tax cuts for billionaires
The average American family has ~$6000 of their taxes go to corporate subsidies and ~$100 of their taxes go to SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans. Remember--we don't lack money to serve our neighbors in need, we lack the money needed to satisfy billionaire greed.

FCC scrapping telecom security regs: https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/fcc-cybersecurity-telecommunications-carriers-brendan-carr-eliminate-rules/804259/

This is pure insanity, and will make us much less safe. Salt Typhoon, you might recall, was a recent direct attack on US telecom infrastructure, probably by China, and probably exploiting "lawful access" wiretapping interfaces.

I testified on this in Congress earlier this year: https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Blaze-Written-Testimony.pdf
