'Victim/Suspect' trailer: How the criminal justice system fails victims of assault

-
Two women stare at a computer screen while sitting in an office.

The upcoming documentary Victim/Suspect follows journalist Rae de Leon as she investigates a disturbing pattern across sexual assault cases nationwide — survivors who go to the police to report their assaults are often treated as suspects.

In de Leon's research, which includes recordings from police interrogations, interviews with victims, and accounts from legal experts, we learn that survivors reporting their assault are sometimes charged with or even arrested for filing a false report. Victim/Suspect offers a painful look into a criminal justice system that fails its victims and emboldens a hostile environment that threatens those who speak up. This is the latest documentary from filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman, whose harrowing investigation Roll Red Roll was nominated for a Peabody.

Victim/Suspect premieres on Netflix May 23.

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

There's a new AI agent on the block for people who spend their waking hours inside spreadsheets. Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...
