"Disney is getting very good at combining the art of character animation with the science of bipedal robotics, and the results are … adorable."

"Unveiled at the IEEE IROS conference in Detroit last week, this new, unnamed robot is clearly based on the BD-1 designed for 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game, developed by Respawn Entertainment."

"In order to make him look more friendly and appealing, BD-1 was designed to mimic some dog-like behaviors. When he's curious about something, he'll tilt his head. His antennae are able to rotate, and they mimic the movements of a dog's ears. He comes across as earnest, inquisitive and downright adorable."

This is another scatter shot of songs by some great artists.

This week’s playlist:

the kids aren't alright by Pinkshift

Lay Low by New Atlas

California Mountain Shake by Death Valley Girls

Children's Work by Dessa

Wild by Eleventyseven

Poison & Antidote by Brenda Sue & Mikel

Shattered by Bad Cop/Bad Cop

The Night Starts Here by Stars

A Bullet Through the Heart by People Soup & I Monster

Parsonz Curse by Royal Thunder

Lunar Rotation Weekly by Winifred Yost

the kids aren't alright is probably my favorite song from 2022. California Mountain Shake would make some trippy intro credits to a southern gothic horror show. Parsonz Curse really has the feel of an old school hard rock song, including it being 7 min long. Which is why it's at the end. 7 min is long. Children's Work is a song of bond and memory and sacrifice. Shattered is a song about living and hope and sticking through the hard shit. Very different than the Trucks song of the same name that was here two weeks ago. my brains a bit fuzzy as I'm writing this, so just check the songs out and form your own opinion, but for different reasons I really like them all.
