Boston Dynamics is the master of dropping amazing robot videos with no warning, and last week, we got a surprise look at the new electric Atlas going “hands on” with a practical factory task. This video is notable because it’s the first real look we’ve had at the new Atlas doing something useful—or doing anything at all, really, as the introductory video from back in April (the first time we saw the robot) was less than a minute long.

We are looking at a historic election. Over 82 million people voted early in the 2024 election, with the Republicans coming within two percentage points of Democrats for the early vote total. The majority, or 44.9 million, have voted early and in person, according to data from the University of Florida’s Election Lab.
