LG’s CLOiD household robot made its debut at the company’s CES press conference, rolling onto the stage and giving a ponderous demo of putting a towel into a washing machine.

The US has no right to take over Venezuela, either, but here we are …
Denmark’s prime minister has urged Donald Trump to stop threatening to take over Greenland after the president said the US “absolutely” needs the territory.
Frederiksen said: “It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the US needing to take over Greenland.

The fact that the Canadian government's official statement on the president of the United States illegally invading a foreign country does not include the words "President," "United States," "illegal," or "invade" really tells you all you need to know about where we stand, tbh

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Went to scan the yard for porcupines before letting the dogs out for bed, and came upon an owl. When it saw me it flew up to the fence and watched me. I talked to it, and it just stared at me. One of the coolest things ever.

So, was this just an accident? Or an unsuccessful assassination attempt on JD Vance?
The insane decision by the Felon to fire live artillery shells over I-5 could easily have caused deaths. One shell prematurely exploded and landed on one of the busiest freeways in the United States. Thanks to Governor Newsom’s good judgement no one was hurt.
