One employee can be seen holding the robot by the scruff of its neck while navigating her phone, presumably searching the bot's app for controls. In the end, it took three workers to restrain the robot, who were all forced to duck periodically to avoid being smacked by its waving and sauce-covered hands. <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV-60F7DY4-/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV-60F7DY4-/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style=" background:#FFFFFF; line-height:0; padding:0 0; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; width:100%;" target="_blank"> View this post on Instagram </a><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV-60F7DY4-/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none;" target="_blank">A post shared by The Straits Times (@straits_times)</a></p></blockquote> <script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script> Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:42:28 -0400 censored https://drudge.com/news/290810/robot-waiter-goes-postal-dragged-away#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.290810 discussion, 0.5 daily 290810 https://drudge.com/news/290633/art-fans-decide-if-cow-lives https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/art-fans-will-decide-if-this-cow-lives-or-dies/ar-AA1YmcwQ Two years ago, a prankster art collective in Brooklyn known as MSCHF sold off shares in a black calf they nicknamed Angus, pledging to butcher him into burgers and leather handbags unless his arty stakeholders chose to save him. <blockquote class="bluesky-embed" data-bluesky-uri="at://did:plc:i3fhjvvkbmirhyu4aeihhrnv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgstni7mjg2u" data-bluesky-cid="bafyreihetg6fn3ck7ljsqbdyccnlvfjfufvblszvp3ixjrcmdhbq6ujxcq" data-bluesky-embed-color-mode="system"><p lang="">The prankster art group MSCHF say they are "all rooting" for the cow named Angus to be saved by its shareholders. on.wsj.com/4blscqY<br><br><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:i3fhjvvkbmirhyu4aeihhrnv/post/3mgstni7mjg2u?ref_src=embed">[image or embed]</a></p> -- The Wall Street Journal (<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:i3fhjvvkbmirhyu4aeihhrnv?ref_src=embed">@wsj.com</a>) <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:i3fhjvvkbmirhyu4aeihhrnv/post/3mgstni7mjg2u?ref_src=embed">Mar 11, 2026 at 5:34 PM</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.bsky.app/static/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:30:14 -0400 censored https://drudge.com/news/290633/art-fans-decide-if-cow-lives#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.290633 news, 0.5 daily 290633 https://drudge.com/news/290620/trumps-freudian-slip-6-year-old-girls https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-slammed-for-saying-6-year-old-girls-are-of-age-theres-something-seriously-wrong-with-him/ar-AA1XW8bq Donald Trump has caused a stir with his most recent speech.
