Be kind to our future robot overlords! My latest for the Boston Globe on why it's best to be polite, for all of us...

Hi, all! I wanted to share again this project, perhaps the most significant of my career. #lesslethal weapons may not reliably kill people, but they certainly have the power to destroy lives.

Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. have used projectiles like rubber bullets as a less-lethal alternative, but they have also been linked to traumatic brain injuries, blindings and death: opb.org/article/2023/01/23/a…

Less-lethal munitions getting their day in (a Texas) court soon. Listen to @OPBTOL talk with @LongLead's @LinRod about her six-part, multimedia feature on these deadly police tools, "The People vs. Rubber Bullets."

Why has no one started a True Lies-themed pie company called True Pies? Because think of the ‘90s film reference possibilities! Just think…
