NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a 9yo rested her head on the table, a 6yo pretended to fly an airplane, and a 3yo played with the mic. Many in attendance didn't have an attorney — and a 13yo was ordered removed. A look inside, thru sketches.
There’s much more to the story — you can read it here — but I came away with one overarching takeaway: the “responsible gaming” prompts DraftKings served me were no match for the product design and promos pushing me to do more gambling.

This video of New Yorkers kayaking to the train station in Queens shows how bad the flooding is. This storm has turned streets into waterways. Stay safe out there everyone.
UnitedHealth used an AI model it knew had a 90% error rate to cut off care for elderly patients, and kept using it because almost nobody appeals — that is the allegation at the centre of a class action now in discovery in Minnesota.
When patients did push back more than nine in ten denials were reversed on internal appeal or before a federal administrative law judge. Denials that rarely survived scrutiny, and scrutiny that rarely arrived.
One of the AI's victims is Gene Lokken (91) who broke his leg and ankle in a fall. UnitedHealth covered three weeks of nursing-home rehab, then stopped while his physical therapist's notes still recorded weakness and reduced mobility.
His family paid $12,000 to $14,000 a month out of pocket until he died a year later. His estate is the lead plaintiff.
The people of Austin Texas have had ENOUGH. They are tired of living in fear while masked ICE agents could end their lives at any moment with total impunity.
The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning.
As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.
Over and over, ICE has shot people and then lied about what happened. We can see the lies with our own eyes. We will demand truth, transparency and accountability.
the correct take on the AI risks. not "godlike machine that decides to kill us all" but "machine that makes it much easier for humans to kill one another."
