Apollo the bipedal robot at work! 🦿 Apptronik's Apollo robot, with its bright, friendly design and cartoon-like features, stood out among the more traditional, dark, and industrial-looking competitors at CES 2025. Designed for factory work, Apollo’s smooth movements make it

This video is so disturbing. I’ve always considered myself pro-Israel. But if that now means arresting, jailing, and deporting someone whose only ā€œcrimeā€ we know of was writing a pro-Palestine op-ed, then count me out. I want nothing to do with that.

There is a 100% overlap between traditional Big Ten states and the true Midwest. The Plains are not the Midwest. Missouri is not the Midwest just because the south doesn’t want them. Stop treating the Midwest like a catch-all.
