Only people born in the US can become president.
So Pope Leo or Boris Johnson could, but Mamdani is illegible

For all his many faults even Boris would have made a better President than Trump.

I'd forgotten that bit. Probably just as well, as though I think he'd appeal to many, there would be too many who'd not vote for a brown Muslim foreigner, though at least he's not female, which is obviously disqualifying to a sizeable part of the population.

Palantir's 'mission statement'. You might think it reads more like the drunken ramblings of overconfident undergraduates with no experience of, well, anything, but I couldn't possibly comment.

Another day, another shooting of kids in the USA.
I wonder what the response will be?
Probably not very much because Shreveport has a Republican mayor and Louisiana is a Republican state so there obviously aren't any issues to resolve...

Won't thoughts and prayers do the trick?

From the article...
"This is a tragic situation - maybe the worst tragic situation we've ever had in Shreveport," the mayor added. He asked for prayers for the families and the city.

Yup, anything stronger than that would be exploiting tragedy for political ends. Best leave the solution to believing in fairies and incanting mumbo jumbo.

And once national politicians become aware of the tragedy, arming the victims?

More Skynet than Cyberyne I think. But we really have entered into a world where Terminator should be viewed as a cautionary tale, rather than a series of (mostly) excellent films.

When it's a school shooting, remember the marketing opportunities for Kevlar-lined school rucksacks.

Wasn't it Cyberyne (company) that developed Skynet (product)?

Yeah, but Skynet then became the self aware AI, and Cyberdyne made the robots. All part of the same group of bastards really.
