    This can’t be real.

    OK, it’s real. I wonder if they have a spokesman with the title, “The Mouth of Sauron?”

    I opened up one of their company surveillance cameras and a ring fell out … what should I do with it?

        Don’t listen to this^ naysayer. Put it on and attempt to claim its power as your own. What’s the worst that could happen?

          I’m worried I could lose a finger to an emaciated Hobbit.

    I was hoping for Palantir to be mentioned, and it didn’t disappoint!

    I detest our modern surveillance culture. But …

    one of Sauron’s chief products is its “deterrence pod,” a detection system that pairs with an autonomous drone that wards off trespassers by blasting them with a powerful, ominous logo-emblazoned search light, sweeping over their movements.

    I promise I will get back to advocating for principled privacy laws - right after I’m done buying and installing one of these for Halloween.

    Is this a side venture to Palantir?
