Ask Amy: My dad’s humiliating tell-all book could affect my job hunt

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:38:20 GMT

Dear Amy: I’m going through a bit of a crisis. You see, shortly before my mother died of cancer last year, she kept a diary detailing in graphic detail about how awful I was and how hard it was dealing with my outbursts (which, I have to admit, were pretty brutal).I have autism, and while my own outbursts were definitely a factor, my mother dealt out her own verbal outbursts.Dad says he’s thinking of publishing her diary so that people know “what it’s really like.” Honestly, I don’t feel comfortable with this, but he says he “promised her on her deathbed” that he’d do this.Not only do I feel uncomfortable with him doing this, but a future employer could be taking a look at this.However, I’m terrified of confronting him because I’m concerned about his rebuttal. What should I do?AnonymousDear Anonymous: It might help if you wrote down your thoughts in the form of a letter. Express your concerns logically and by using neutral langua...

Secretive Federal Agency’s Days of Killing Pets With Poison Bombs May Finally Be Ending

Patches of snow dotted the ground when Canyon Mansfield stepped outside on March 16, 2017. The hill behind the 14-year-old’s home in Pocatello, Idaho, was not particularly large. At the summit, Mansfield would only be 300 yards from his house, and yet, he treasured the visits.With its sweeping mountain view, the hill was Canyon’s refuge. His 3-year-old yellow lab, Kasey, was his constant companion there.The two set off as usual that afternoon. Kasey was thrashing one of his toys when Canyon spotted a sprinkler-like object protruding from the ground. He ran a finger along the device. Suddenly, he heard a pop, and an orange cloud burst forth. Canyon lunged back as the front of his body was doused in chemicals. The burning began immediately.As Canyon grasped for snow to irrigate his eyes, he heard Kasey grunting near the device. He called to him, but he didn’t come. He stopped what he was doing and ran to him. Dropping to his knees, Canyon watched as Kasey writhed in spasms. Frothing a...

Conclusiones de la impresionante audiencia de Hunter Biden y lo que sucederá ahora

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:38:20 GMT

(CNN) — La audiencia de este miércoles de Hunter Biden ya estaba destinada a ser un evento histórico, ya que el hijo de un presidente de EE.UU. en ejercicio compareció ante un tribunal para declararse culpable de delitos fiscales federales, cerrando una controvertida investigación.Pero en la audiencia de más de tres horas, el acuerdo de culpabilidad original casi se desmorona y deja al hijo del presidente Joe Biden en el limbo por el momento, y solo iluminará aún más el tema a medida que los republicanos del Congreso prosigan sus propias investigaciones sobre las acciones de Hunter Biden.Hunter Biden no pagó entre US$ 1,1 millones y US$ 1,5 millones en impuestos federales antes de los plazos legales y se declaró culpable de dos delitos fiscales menores y los fiscales acordaron recomendar una sentencia de libertad condicional. El acuerdo también estaba destinado a resolver un delito federal de armas de fuego.Hunter Biden, que compareció ante el tribunal con un traje oscuro y el...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:38:20 GMT

Russia will not rejoin a U.N.-brokered pact designed to prevent famines across the developing world as a result of the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.Speaking at the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum in St. Petersburg, Putin again said his government would “refuse to extend” the Black Sea grain deal, which has allowed 32.9 million tons of agricultural products to leave Ukraine’s blockaded ports and reach the global market.Putin, who accused Western nations of receiving the bulk of the deliveries and refusing to lift sanctions on Russia, insisted Moscow would instead move toward “a more just system of resource distribution.”“In the coming three or four months we would be ready to provide to Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic and Eritrea up to 50,000 tons of grain each. We will ensure free shipping of these cargo,” he went on.Investigations have shown Russia h...
