Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

This case underscores how SCOTUS made it impossible to hold immigration cops accountable for the abuses you see in all those videos.
A federal task force cop manufactured evidence to put an innocent woman behind bars for two years. Because of SCOTUS-conferred immunity, the case never got to a jury.
