“HitchBot, the talking, tweeting, hitchhiking robot that tries to traverse continents on the kindness of strangers,” made it across Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands without any major incidents. Then it stuck out its motorized thumb in Philadelphia and someone beat the crap out of it.

+ I just hope our robot overlords can differentiate between the humans who broke the Hitchbot and those of us who are, shall we say, not from Philly. In the meantime, beware of the tiny drones that navigate with insect eyes.

+ The League, “a Tinder for elites” had an exclusive party in Montauk over the weekend. So what? I bet the Tinder for non-elites hosted an orgy in Newark.
