Twitter announces ‘Blue for Business’ to help identify brands and their employees
Twitter has officially announced Blue for Business, a subscription geared toward companies that want to “verify and distinguish themselves on Twitter,” as its press release says. The service will let companies link their main accounts with those of their employees to make it easier to show that someone actually does work for them.
The company is testing the service with “a select group of businesses,” including its own employees. Esther Crawford, director of product management at Twitter, has a little bird badge next to her blue checkmark that verifies her as an employee at the company, as you can see in this tweet of her announcing Blue for Business. Craft Ventures, a venture capital firm, also appears to have some employees marked as…
DOGMAN, BIGFOOT, OR HUMAN? Can You Identify This Creature? (VIDEO)
I saw this night-vision video several months ago and it still bothers me. This version is somewhat ‘cleaner’ than the original that I watched.
Some people have suggested that it was a human dressed in a costume, but the eyeshine is fairly consistent throughout the video, The movement is a bit unusual. At one point it seems to want to stand bipedally after raising its backside, but it continues its quadruple approach.
I will note that this video does kind of remind me of the Gable Film, which was proved to be a hoax. Is it possible that this is a cryptid canine or Dogman?
There is no location given or suggested. Could this be a Bigfoot / Sasquatch? Do you have other suggestions as to the identity of this creature? Lon

Amazon’s latest robot picker for warehouses uses AI to identify objects
Amazon has unveiled its latest warehouse robot. It says “Sparrow is the first robotic system in our warehouses that can detect, select, and handle individual products in our inventory.” The robotic arm uses AI and computer vision to recognize and handle millions of items, according to Amazon.
The company says that, by employing robots in its warehouses, it can conduct operations more efficiently and safely. “Sparrow will take on repetitive tasks, enabling our employees to focus their time and energy on other things, while also advancing safety,” Amazon said. “At the same time, Sparrow will help us drive efficiency by automating a critical part of our fulfillment process so we can continue to deliver for customers.” It added that, by employing robots, it has been able to create more than 700 new job categories.
Amazon doesn’t exactly have a spotless record when it comes to conditions for warehouse workers, particularly when robots are involved. In 2020, the Center for Investigative Reporting’s Reveal publication released a report indicating that, between 2016 and 2019, the rate of serious injuries sustained by Amazon employees at automated warehouses was 50 percent higher than at facilities that don’t use robots.
According to the report, the use of robots led Amazon to increase workers’ quotas, requiring them to scan as many as 400 items per hour when they previously had to scan 100. “The data back up the accounts of Amazon warehouse workers and former safety professionals who say the company has used the robots to ratchet up production quotas to the point that humans can’t keep up without hurting themselves,” the report reads.
This past July, it emerged that the US government was looking into Amazon over alleged unsafe workplace conditions. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration carried out inspections that were “related, among other things, to Amazon’s required pace of work for its warehouse employees.”
Amazon revealed Sparrow amid a drive by warehouse workers to unionize their workplaces, where robots are taking over duties in some cases. In March, workers at the JFK8 fulfillment center in Staten Island voted to unionize, becoming the first Amazon warehouse to do so. The company has challenged the result of the election. More recently, workers at an Albany, New York warehouse voted against unionization after Amazon conducted an anti-union campaign.
