The Rolling Stone Review: @charli_xcx's 'Music, Fashion, Film' "Charli XCX's proper follow-up to 'Brat' is a brilliant, catchy and often very funny 30-minute treatise on the machinery of fame." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Families of earthquake victims in La Guaira pleaded for heavy machinery as rescue teams and desperate residents continued to clear rubble at collapsed buildings, days after twin earthquakes devastated Venezuela's hardest-hit coastal state

Emissions rules designed for city streets are crippling farm machinery – triggering engine shutdowns, £50k fines and a black market in 'jailbroken' tractors. Brexit means we can fix this, but this Government won't.

$ROK --- At the Automation Fair in Chicago, $ROK just unveiled its brand-new automation orchestration software, engineered to unify factory machinery, OTTO autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and enterprise business systems. Pilot metrics show the platform cuts warehouse material handling space requirements by a staggering 50%, marking a major leap forward in the firm’s software monetization capabilities within logistics and supply chain automation.

US MACHINERY: +ve outlook on focused equipment spending (ROK, TT, RAL, AYI, VRT, ETN & JCI). "US producers have been able to quickly ramp capacity + output post 2025 Liberation Day because the initial wave of spend has been focused on efficiency + productivity investment, smaller projects w/ quicker payoffs relative to large capacity expansion.... Automation led efficiency projects allow facilities to ramp production in months vs greenfields which take years to come on line - this signals urgency from the customer to drive domestic production & mitigate tariffs, a marked difference when compared to the slow moving & incentive laden "Mega Project" wave in 2021-23. But ultimately, we do believe greenfields will follow - we are already seeing the incremental unit of production shift into the US market in response to changing supply chain costs (ie tariffs), a leading indicator for where larger capacity projects will land when they are ultimately needed."

AI Takes Chinese Factory Workers Out of Heavy Lifting #AI# is reshaping manufacturing floors in Guangxi. At Liuzhou Steel, the Xuantie large model monitors hot-rolling lines, letting operators track data from ground control rooms instead of working near 10-meter-high, heat-radiating equipment. At Yuchai Machinery, AGVs, robotic arms and AI error-proofing cameras handle transport and assembly; one engine workshop lifted efficiency by over 40% and cut production time by 80%. A quadruped robot patrols hazards around the clock, while AI cameras in petrochemical plants flag leaks, fire risks and unsafe operations in real time.

Elon Musk sees Starship becoming far more than a rocket With full and rapid reusability, the long-term goal is to move cargo across the planet cheaper per ton than a Boeing 747 and deliver it anywhere on Earth in under an hour That could completely rewrite entire global logistics Critical supplies, machinery and enormous payloads could cross the world at speeds that are impossible today Starship is going to make distance almost irrelevant
