Just realized the robo-dog's official name is "SPOT" lol

The petrators of the Twin Towers destruction could not have dreamed that what they did on 9/11 would launch a terrorism and security cult that has us destroying ourselves. Only the cold war arms race was more bizarre. We need to do to this security cult what Dr Strangelove did to the nuke race. As far as basic craziness of shock gloves and robotic dogs it just proves my point that the Trump era is like a very bad LSD trip that never ends

Even scarier is if the perpetrators of the Twin Towers destruction knew *exactly* what would be launched in the U.S.. I haven’t completely discounted that theory.

Only a matter of time before those robo dogs are armed and given weapons. This is serious. With the shock gloves AND the boston dynamic robots dogs... we need to get prepared for countermeasures

I had no idea that Flock started by convincing HOAs to buy these. Gah.

And the ICE robo-dogs are sickening. Between this and the shock gloves, it feels like ICE is gearing up for maximum violence. Very disturbing!

Re the WNBA, though, I think it's understandable that they'd be concerned given the stalking incidents that NPR reported ( https://www.npr.org/2026/08/29/nx-s1-5947897/wnba-national-security ). It's not just online insults. And when online hate includes physical threats, it's not hard to see why it seems like terrorism - because it has the same goal as political terrorists: make them _all_ feel scared for being who they are.

Also - did you know that Project 2025 includes a recommendation to shut down women's sports? Being competitive is "unladylike". I'm not saying that the unspoken goal of the harassment and stalking, and shouting sexist and racist insults at games, is to get WNBA players to quit - but I'm not _not_ saying it, either...

I’m fine with a law enforcement response to these threats; elevating it to national security (“extremism”) is what I take issue with
