During their miniseries on The Screamers (another incredible band worth checking out), they mention synthpunk.org as one of their sources. And there's no better way to get my attention than to combine two of my favorite things - punk rock and synthesizers. The site was down that day (it appears to be back up now), but I was able to access a version from July through the Wayback Machine. What greeted me was a bare-bones site with links for six bands, including The Screamers.

Waymo robotaxi detects ghost gun, pulls over and alerts police in San Francisco

Two juveniles were arrested in San Francisco after a Waymo autonomous vehicle detected a firearm and pulled over to alert authorities. The minors were found in possession of a loaded AR-style ghost gun and were subsequently taken to juvenile hall. Waymo confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that the vehicle was one of its own, after the police report did not identify the cab's operator. A company spokesperson stated that the system detected a terms-of-service violation involving a firearm, triggering the vehicle's response.
