Why are 30% of pediatric tracheostomy patients Black when they're only 15% of kids?"

I asked Claude to map your idea, but added my own twist as a surgeon. That is, AI is "work in the head" and that is its ongoing limitation.

This piece exemplifies how journalism can serve democracy by recognizing when standard practices (treating each policy as an isolated event) fail to capture systematic threats to democratic norms.

Slow mo political satire.
It starts with a perfect circle of universal rights. Then, "We must act outside of the law to save it." The erosion is not a single, dramatic event, but a creeping, iterative process until universal protection under the law becomes a fractured reality where the boundary of justice is arbitrary.

mRNA can produce vaccines much faster than older methods, which are critical in pandemics. Cancelling them only increases the risk when the next pandemic comes. Not to mention vaccines for treatment of cancers and other immune-sensitive disorders.

What's fascinating is how merit gets defined & redefined to maintain a particular hierarchy. Also, we've taken someone's humanity & drilled it down to a single test. It's like buildinf a NFL football team based solely on what the players do at the combine. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/n...

Fascinating to see the inner mechanics of AI training in real time. If you use ChatGPT 4.0 for healthcare queries, it uses American English spelling. Switch to 3.0, and then it defaults to British spelling…
