Boston Dynamics did it again – and that’s not a typo in the title – the robot is named Spot.
Straight from the Caribbean Osnabrück, Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen (the Powder Monkeys) are German “grogstars” playing Irish melodies with a rock pirate theme. (A powder monkey’s job was to bring black powder to the ship’s cannons.) Yo ho and shalalala.

Iain Marr – whistle player/piper

It’s that time of year when we set our calendars back, so have a great three day weekend and we’ll see you here tomorrow.

I’m glad to know that our future robot overlords know how to bust a sweet-ass move. Because that’s what governance is really all about, innit? I mean, yeah, we may all be working in the lithium battery mines 20 years from now, but we’ll be happily singing “Start Me Up” as we pull ore from the seams with our bloody fingernails, wishing we could dance as well as Spot does . . . .

I’ll have VirtualBunk3.0 set up via Meta before that happens so everyone can deal with my sweet-ass moves forever.
