“Killer robots could become the weapon of choice for militants, a British expert said on Wednesday.”
I’m serious – the article is here.

Dave Lindorff has a piece in the Baltimore Examiner about a “silver lining” to catastrophic global warming: his preferred political party would benefit.
Funny how partisanship can make normal people say absolutely vicious things.
Lindorff is a global warming alarmist who sees massive flooding and epic catastrophe coming soon – “not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats.”
Not bloody likely. But let’s accept his premises for the sake of argument and see where he runs with them.
The decimation of red state regions rings with “poetic justice,” because many people there disagree with Dave Lindorff on climate change policy. They are “troglodytes.” More revealingly, wants them “gerrymandered into political impotence” after the apocalypse hits.
What a vicious, petty world view. Lindorff sincerely believes in a coming Book-of-Revelations-style apocalypse. He should be concerned with how to help people survive it. Instead, he first thinks of how he can hurt his political opponents.
Grow up, child.

San Francisco might ban fireplaces, since they are believed to contribute to global warming.
Seriously, fireplaces?! The new religion is going too far. Even Rousseau would be embarrassed.
