Robotics companies showcased a whole host of new robot vacuums with arms at this year's Consumer Electronics Show that can mop, bring you a beer, and harness the power of AI. But, as @Futurism notes, “We can't help but feel that giving the robots the lowly and menial task of plucking stinky socks off the floor will only draw the ire of our future robotic overlords.”

As a trained firefighter I'm astounded/horrified at the number of reporters not wearing masks while reporting on the fires in LA.
A good story isn't worth sacrificing your life and health to hydrocarbons and burning plastic. The average home in 2025 is so toxic while burning that it's hard to watch; far more toxic than homes historically have ever been throughout history. This is something they drilled into us deeply while training.
The cause and effect can be long term and utterly devastating. A mask is gonna save your life in the coming years, be it pandemic or flames.
Wear a mask, shower often. Wash your hands before you eat. A lot of firefighters died before we figured out those basics.
PS- if you have a paint respirator with VOC cartridges even better.
I'm shocked — shocked! — to find that Big Oil has engaged in lobbying to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. 🙄

Never change the past. It’s the rule time travelers must not disobey. However, Vanderbilt University physicist Lorenzo Gavassino isn't so sure this is such a big obstacle. @ScienceAlert has more, including a description of “The Grandfather Paradox” and how it may be circumvented:

Jeremy Corbyn's words on these attacks say it all.
"Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide."
