It’s Election Day. Please vote, as the outcome is personal for me. If Trump puts a 60% Tariff on imports from China, Cocoa Press would go from $1,499 to $2,400 That might be a moot point if I can longer get healthcare as Trump has promised to ban HRT for trans adults

For the record, I didn't make the original SVG (just modified an awesome one by one of our designers)... but I definitely appreciated the excuse to derp around with the AxiDraw on a rainy afternoon. :3

Who needs chocolates when you've got robots? ;) ✍️ Made with SVG vector art + @inkscape + @EMSL #AxiDraw pen plotter, using Marvy Le Pen in Light Blue. // #plotter #PlotterArt #PenPlotter #PenPlotterArt #Inkscape #ValentinesDay #robot #robots #PlotterPeople #PlotterTwitter



This conversation was SO RAD! I learned a ton about choosing metal for combat #robots, the world of beetleweight and antweight bots, and designing solar- and wind-powered autonomous vehicles for marine environments. (Plus, a newly-discovered underwater mountain!) 🤩

Today's #HacksterCafe guest, @paloma_Fautley, chats with @glowascii about #BattleBots, ocean #sustainability tech, and how to build a terrible robot! Check it out (and subscribe to catch future episodes): youtube.com/watch?v=BzyCey…

Welp @WIRED laid me off alongside a bunch of other talented people, and on the way out the door I want to appreciate some stories that I was proud to write while reporting on how AI can harm people, accelerate inequality, violate human rights, and threaten society. A thread 🧵:
