Machines could soon help elders get out of bed, bathe them, even provide them with emotional support.
I always figured this problem would be solved by the Japanese inventing competent Elder-bots, the Chinese making cheap knock-offs and an American start-up company offering free robots that tended to the feeble as it harvested confidential medical information to defraud Medicaid. That won’t happen.
BBC: BBC director general and News CEO resign over Trump documentary edit
The BBC’s director general Tim Davie and head of News Deborah Turness have resigned following criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by Donald Trump.

Rachel Maddow loses her composure when she sees that her parent company contributed to the White House ballroom project. There is no reason to get bent out of shape about this renovation.

There aren’t many jewelry heists anymore, so this is exciting.
