Russia's grand reveal of humanoid robot couldn't have gone worse
In another episode of robots not yet being ready to replace humanity, Russia presented its first human-like AI robot, Aidol, last night and it fell over almost immediately.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

I had the pleasure of interviewing Sterlin Harjo about “The Lowdown”: the real-life inspiration for the series, that incredibly cathartic season finale, and why he believes there’s hope for the future of our deeply broken country.

Perhaps if someone were to write a Karen Goes Shopping illustrated children's book, it might get through to them.

Amazon is by far the worst mail-order platform I have ever used. They're incapable of sending the correct items, packaging them properly (even phones) or having a dispute resolution mechanism which isn't cluttered and labyrinthine. I have no idea why people use this shite.

Had a walkies incident: a woman with a dog we vaguely know was walking on the other side of a tiny residential street and then her dog had a nibble at the leg of a guy who was overtaking them. He went ballistic, started shouting, strode back menacingly, threatened to call the police etc.

The band I come back to the most. Zen Arcade, lent to me by my friend Sam, was an almighty slap in the face. I can still picture myself listening to it for the first time. I had a very nice hand-me-down '70s quad system, so it got a bit loud.

Nearly every morning, Sara plays not with, but *alongside* her friend Luna. They mostly don't interact, they just enjoy being around each other, in silence. There's probably a moral to extract here. Amusingly, her owner has a large moustache and is even less talkative than I am.

I remember talking with a friend who'd seen Idiocracy for the first time in 2015, and saw it as too over the top and improbable to be" believable" satire. And to me, in some ways, the relative failure of it as a film actually accentuates its satire of a deeply, stupid stupid future.
