It's wild to watch a live performance of the Martin Niemöller poem unfold.
"First they came for the trans people, and I did not speak out because I was not a trans person".
If you're American and not speaking out, you need to read the final verse again.

Life Hacks, 2025 edition:
-If Peter Thiel's involved, avoid it
-If it’s “opt-in,” It'll be mandatory
-If AI is involved, it’s profiling you
-If Big Tech says it's for safety, it's not
-If it demands a facial scan, walk away
-If it’s “for your safety,” it’s for their control

In other depressing IoT news, iRobot, the maker of the popular Roomba vacuums, files for bankruptcy and sells itself to Chinese company. Hello cameras and mics in bajillions of homes.

"What could this be?" [shake, shake]
"Maybe a gift card?" It could go either way, really...
This dragged in for twelve, fifteen minutes
TBH, by this time I was feeling pretty poorly—too many people, too much noise, my stomach had been sick all day
Finally, the person opened the box
And was bewildered—"what... what is this? Axolotls? Pole dancing‽"
It was the best/worst gift of the day, and it was raucous in the room
Y'all, no one—no one—would fess up to bringing it in!
A mouse pad (see below) and several coasters featuring this lovely axolotl, pole dancing 😂
