$CRM CEO Marc Benioff just shared a video of the Figure 03 robot handling packages on a production line.
Another reminder that the AI story is moving beyond software and into physical labor.

@BreannaMorello @SenRonJohnson @ChuckGrassley I say they just keep releasing documents and getting social media engagement.

@SenRonJohnson @ChuckGrassley Are we just going to keep releasing documents or are we going to make an arrest?

The documents released today are only a small fraction of evidence showing Jack Smith’s partisan investigative tactics.
@ChuckGrassley and I will continue to fight for transparency so that the American people will know the full truth about Arctic Frost and the Biden Administration’s weaponization of the federal justice system against @realDonaldTrump and his allies.

@TracesofTexas Buttering these was an 8-man job. Also I remeber using a couple of these on the 4th of July as fireworks. Set them out and let the Texas sun do the work.

A couple of days ago I posted a funny novelty postcard of a man skinning a giant Texas jackrabbit. I said that such cards have been around for a long time and said that they almost always center on the theme that things are bigger/wilder/crazier here in Texas than elsewhere ---- which we all know is true. I also said that I didn't know exactly when these kinds of cards got started, but speculated that it was in the 1920s. Boy was I wrong about that!
Traces of Texas reader Betty Krenik shared this fantastic novelty postcard of giant corn being grown in Texas and, as you can see, it was copyrighted in 1908. I find it interesting because, clearly, the idea that everything is bigger in Texas had already taken hold in the public imagination just 62 years after Texas became a state. On the one hand, it seems like an obvious, ready-made meme: for more than 110 years, Texas was the largest state in the union, so therefore everything is bigger in Texas. But I'm still curious as to who thought of it first, when the first such images were produced etc... I'm going to try to spend some time researching this further. Any input would be most welcome.
Also, the photo that Betty shared was a bit scratched and worn. I took it into Photoshop and spent some time cleaning it up, but I simply could not make out the words at the bottom of the card. It looks it says something about the size of corn grown in Texas but it would take me a long time to try to shape new characters and new words and I don't have the time to do it, so I left it alone.
If you've got a novelty postcard you'd like to share, send it on in.
Thank you, Betty. I really love this!

@knittingspinner @Real_RobN @brookebaldwin21 I never understood the legal justification for SCOTUS to uphold it. I also never understood the memebrs of Congress who were bought off with sweetheart deals for their states into signing Legislation they opposed.

@Real_RobN @brookebaldwin21 Justice Robert’s is also culpable in the implementation of the ACA. He allowed it to proceed as a tax. I don’t think many people remember that .

This is:
The architect of ObamaCare, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, calling the Unaffordable Care Act a scam and the American voter “stupid” not once, not twice, but three times.
“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,”
The Unaffordable Care Act was written in a way that deliberately and maliciously deceived, robbed, extorted, and blackmailed the American public, including the (CBO) Congressional Budget Office.
In other words: You have been robbed, deceived, blackmailed, extorted, and defrauded by Jonathan Gruber, Barack Obama, John Roberts, and—thumb up his ass—John McCain.
All captured on videotape.
Barack Obama@BarackObama
The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

@realannapaulina Secure the vote, cut fraud, enact term limits, and pass laws against insider traiding or otherwose profiting from a position in Congress and campaign finance will work itself out.

Do you think there should be campaign finance reform?

@HoodLifting I have beef tallow in a spray bottle I use on the filter before putting it in
English
So went to Walmart for some air filters and was gonna make some chicken wings for the games today. But always check the beef section. This is their “Angus Choice” variety. Picked it up for 16 bucks. Nice marbling, close to prime. This variety of beef is a partnership with some ranchers. Some which sell on line. I just checked the price they sell it online. Around 40.

@elonmusk Why don't Republicans try to pass voter security legislation by itself? Why add additional items, such as trans surgeries, that make such vital legislation more difficult to pass?
Regardless of how you feel about other points of Save Act, we HAVE to prioritize securing the vote!

No voter ID, especially when combined with mail-in ballots, means the system is engineered to make fraud impossible to prove.
Everyone knows that you can barely get through your week without showing ID for the most banal activities, like shopping at Costco.
The only reason to ban ID is to hide massive voter fraud.
Katie Miller@KatieMiller
The reality is there's mass amounts of cheating in our elections. Just because there's an engineered lack of data, does not mean there isn't data to the contrary. The new CBS/YouGov poll shows that 80% of Americans support Voter ID including 80% of black Americans & 77% of Hispanic Americans. Yet why is it that Congress seems so intractable to wanting to pass a such a popular policy?
