I think every school in the USA needs a geostationary satellite with a high-powered laser so that any school shooter can be vaporized at the speed of light. Without high-precision orbital strike capability, the USA won’t be able to solve their gun problem… I mean, what else could you possibly do to combat gun violence… 🤔

i knew a director of eng from axon for a while. he tried to exploit my husband’s stalled career to get him to work on racial profiling ai. last i heard he got divorced (due to his abuse), tried to hide money from her, and ran away to vietnam to set up an office. used to brag being related to famous mafia people. weird company, weird leaders.

Wouldn’t it be great if didn’t just have to fear school shootings, but also kids getting accidentally tased because they popped some bubble gum?!?
