Today's riddle: What did the inventor of the knock-knock joke win? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Nashua considers resource center to support homeless population (wmur.com) — Nashua officials are weighing a $4.5 million homeless resource center on Mulberry Street that would cluster health and housing services to better support unhoused residents. Supporters say it would streamline help and restore dignity, while outreach groups worry it won’t meet immediate needs this summer. Aldermen are set to vote on key resolutions that would let the city buy and renovate the property.
2. AI Insider: Can your poker tells be hacked? (poker.org) — Poker players from Nashua should know that at least one local card room has allowed smart glasses at the table, even as nearby casinos crack down on them. An AI engineer and poker player explains how modern wearable tech and AI tools could secretly assist players in real time, and urges rooms to adopt clear policies so regulars aren’t unknowingly facing high-tech cheating.
3. Crypto ATM regulatory bill watered down in House committee (unionleader.com) — State lawmakers are clashing over how tightly to regulate cryptocurrency ATMs, with Nashua Rep. Santosh Salvi arguing the House’s rewrite favors kiosk operators over scam victims. The bill, prompted by seniors losing thousands to fraud, now weakens refund rights and blocks stronger local rules, and is headed to the full House and likely a conference committee.
4. Thomas Joseph Sonn (recorder.com) — Nashua readers are remembering Thomas “Tom” Sonn, born here in 1942 to families from Milford and Wilton, after his passing in South Carolina at age 83. The obituary traces his New England roots, decade of Navy service, work in electronics and cue-making, and invites memorial donations to animal shelters or veterans’ groups instead of flowers.
