Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas
Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base
The 1968 My Lai massacre killed at least 347 civilians. It led to congressional hearings and criminal trials. The bombing of the #Minab school, if confirmed to be an American airstrike, is a comparable massacre and scandal. A dark day in American history.

BlackRock limits withdrawals as redemptions rattle private credit fund
BlackRock said on Friday it has put limits on withdrawals from a flagship private credit fund after a surge in βredemption requests, amid rising investor worries over the once red-hot asset βclass.
"Sentiment over private credit continues to worsen after Blue Owl replaced client redemptions with promised payouts, and the βexposure of some players last year to the bankruptcies of a U.S. βauto parts supplier and a subprime auto lender." hmmmm that's the stuff ... www.reuters.com/business/bla...

Why Is Alexa+ So Bad?
I stuck Amazonβs Echo Show 15 and its Alexa+ AI assistant in my kitchen for a month. Things have not gone well.
By building their voice assistant around generative AI, Amazon has created an Alexa that simply doesnβt work.
Easy tasks, like playing music or pulling up YouTube videos, go haywire.
Itβs an AI flop.
