Avery, styled as the Priestess, wears Balenciaga dress and shoes, Ashton Michael necklace and cuff. I want so badly to tell you about your future. I’ve made it clear on my website that I am not a psychic but now that you’ve paid me for a tarot reading and you’re sitting here in front of me, it’s obvious you want me to tell you what is going to happen. Ninety-eight out of 100 times, you specifically want to know the future of your love life or your career. (In the remaining two instances, you want to know where you should live.) Before we met, I asked you to draft an open-ended yet specific question to bring to the cards. And although you think you’ve found the secret way of predicting your future by asking me what needs to change in your current romantic relationship or how to decide whether you should quit your job, I’m sorry to say you haven’t. I could be didactic with you — sure, quit your job, marry your partner, move to the burbs — and that may feel like a
A molecular lookalike of the intoxicating compound found in marijuana has become popular among teens in the United States, especially in areas where marijuana use is illegal, a new study shows. More than 11% of high school seniors who took part in a national survey last spring said they had used delta-8 THC, a psychoactive compound typically derived from hemp, in the last year. That figure surprised researchers at USC and the University of Michigan, who published their findings this week in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. Products containing delta-8 “have really only been on the market since 2018,” said study leader Alyssa Harlow, a USC epidemiologist and faculty member of the school’s Institute for Addiction Science. Gummies, vapes and other products containing delta-8 are available online and in gas stations and convenience stores. They are often marketed as a federally legal substitute for marijuana — and often without solid measures for age verification. “We don’t know enough about these drugs, but we see that they are already extremely accessible to teens,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug
In a journal entry before shooting up his Michigan high school, Ethan Crumbley wrote in clear language of his plans to find the gun his father had hidden and carry out the attack. “I will have to find where my dad hid my 9mm before I can shoot the school,” the then-15-year-old wrote. The entry was among the disturbing writings read aloud Tuesday by Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Det. Lt. Timothy Willis as part of the manslaughter trial of his father, James Crumbley. In another entry, he wrote he had obtained a SIG Sauer 9mm firearm. “The shooting is tomorrow. I have access to the gun and the ammo. I am fully committed this to now (sic),” he wrote. “I have zero HELP for my mental problems and it’s causing me to SHOOT UP THE F-ING SCHOOL,” he wrote in another entry. “I want help but my parents don’t listen to me so I can’t get any help.” The testimony comes as prosecutors argued James Crumbley acted with “gross negligence,” saying he did not properly secure the firearm and ignored warning signs of his son’s

WASHINGTON — TikTok – and some of its users – are pulling out all the stops to contest a bill that could lead to a nationwide ban of the app. As House lawmakers prepare to vote on the bill Wednesday, TikTok is encouraging users to call their representatives with a full-screen notification about the legislation. The company’s CEO, Shou Chew, has attempted to schedule 11th-hour meetings with members of Congress. It sent letters to two lawmakers on Monday challenging their characterizations of TikTok’s call-to-action campaign as “offensive” and “patently false.” And TikTok claims that banning the app would harm 5 million businesses that rely on the platform. One of those businesses belongs to Nadya Okamoto, a TikTok creator with more than 4 million followers and whose brand of menstruation products, August, is carried by national retailers including Target.

Three suspects are in custody after they smashed through the window of a Bev-Mo and stole alcohol, authorities say. According to an official law enforcement release, police officers were dispatched to the Bev-Mo located at 405 Cochran Street in Simi Valley just after 1:10 a.m. Wednesday. Upon arriving at the scene, Simi Valley Police Department officers found a smashed window “signaling a break-in” and also found that several bottles of alcohol were stolen.

Dollar Tree will close nearly 1,000 stores and swung to a surprise fourth quarter loss as the discount retailer took a related $1.07 billion goodwill impairment charge. Shares tumbled 15% before the opening bell Wednesday. Dollar Tree plans to close about 600 Family Dollar stores in the first half of this year and 370 Family Dollar and 30 Dollar Tree stores over the next several years. Dollar Tree and Family Dollar agree to take steps to improve worker safety at the bargain stores Dollar Tree acquired Family Dollar for more than $8 billion almost a decade ago after a bidding war with rival Dollar General, but it has had difficulty absorbing the chain. “This dramatic cull is the coup de grâce in the rather botched acquisition of the Family Dollar chain, which has caused Dollar Tree nothing but hassle since it was completed back in 2015,” wrote Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData. “Basically, almost ten years on, Dollar Tree is still sifting through the mess it inherited and has not been able to completely turn around,” Saunders said.

Politics By Caitlin Yilek Edited By Stefan Becket, Ellen Uchimiya Updated on: March 13, 2024 / 10:09 AM EDT / CBS News CBS News Live CBS News Live 2 Live Washington — The House is voting Wednesday on legislation that could ban TikTok in the U.S. if Beijing-based ByteDance doesn’t sell its stake in the social media platform, a bill that has attracted bipartisan support in just a week. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, was confident the bill would pass. TikTok has repeatedly been targeted by lawmakers seeking to restrict the app over concerns that the Chinese government could force ByteDance to hand over the data of its 170 million American users. Lawmakers say the concern is warranted because Chinese national security laws require organizations to cooperate with intelligence gathering. TikTok has long denied it could be used by the Chinese government to spy on Americans. The House fast-tracked the bill, known as the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, skipping the Rules Committee and bringing it up under a procedure that requires two-thirds support for passage, an indication that

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke on the House floor Wednesday about a bill that would force TikTok to separate from its parent company Bytdance, which has ties to the Chinese government, or face a ban in the U.S. Pelosi said the legislation, “This is not an attempt to ban TikTok, it’s an attempt to make TikTok better.”

When you’re walking around the streets of San Jose and hear loud growling or screeching, don’t worry. It’s probably just a female bobcat defending her territory from another cat, and they’re not at all interested in you. Shravan Sundaram knows these sounds well. He’s an environmental scientist and wildlife photographer who’s been documenting the urban bobcats of the South Bay since 2020, including right in busy San Jose. “They live in the heart of Santa Clara County, using natural riparian (river and creek) corridors to thrive adjacent to bustling Silicon Valley shopping malls, expressways and highways,” says Sundaram, who’s 26 and lives in Martinez. Shravan Sundaram is an environmental scientist and wildlife photographer who has spent years documenting the bobcat population of Santa Clara County, Calif., including in urban locations around San Jose. (Shravan Sundaram/@sswildlife) While many locals are familiar with wild turkeys, errant deer and pigeon-devouring hawks – and perhaps even the thieving red foxes on the Los Lagos Golf Course – it’s unlikely passersby have observed these elusive bobcats. But the wild cats are certainly around in numbers, stalking prey, performing mating rituals
So you want to save money when you book a plane ticket? Well, you won’t, if your airline has anything to say about it. Airlines will rake in a record $964 billion from passengers in 2024, up 7.5 percent from last year, according to an estimate by the International Air Transport Association. And now more than ever, it’s a cat-and-mouse game, which I discovered when I tried to buy a ticket from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro last week. It’s a one-hour flight and typically costs somewhere between $40 and $60 one way. But on the Friday I wanted to fly, the prices were fluctuating wildly by the minute. In the morning, they were coming in at around $230. By the evening, they dropped back down to $50. How can you find a cheap airline ticket? Airlines are using artificial intelligence to predict how much you’re willing to pay for a ticket. They’re also harvesting information you give away during an airfare search, like your browser, geographical location and type of computer, to show you the most expensive airfare. But there are some new
RICHMOND — Maria Chavez first heard about George Miller III Children’s Center almost two decades ago when a neighbor recommended that she send her now-18-year-old daughter there for preschool. After sending all three of her children to the same program, she said her initial nervousness turned into pride that she could provide them a quality early education. “I’m so happy it’s accessible, because as a mother who works, I can’t always give them much time, but here they prepare them so well,” Chavez said, waiting for her youngest daughter, 4-year-old Emily, to finish snack time. “Seeing how they treat my child is beautiful. The help and support we receive here is like another family.” Emily Chavez, right, and her classmates eat yogurt before their parents pick them up from a Head Start childcare program at George Miller III Center in Richmond, Calif., on Friday, March 9, 2024.

A Fairfield school resource officer is facing several charges after allegations surfaced that he was allegedly exchanging inappropriately texts and photos with two underaged females. Jennifer Brantley, Public Information Officer for the Fairfield Police Department, said a student’s parents called the department on the evening of March 8 to report allegations that James Louis, the school resource officer at Rodriguez High School, had been texting their daughter. According to Brantley, Louis cooperated with police and turned himself in after confronted by law enforcement. He was arrested on Saturday and booked in the Solano County Jail. James Louis “It is our understanding that he has since posted bail, but that is not a process overseen by the department,” said Brantley. Louis faces several charges, including sending, distributing or exhibiting harmful or obscene material to a minor, contacting or communicating with a minor with the intent to commit a sex crime and knowingly transporting, duplicating or possessing child pornography or other material with the intent to distribute or show it to others. At this time, Brantley said there are two known victims, both under the age of
The ascension of a player is a beautiful and addicting thing to watch. First, you see his potential and invest. It’s even better when you see immediate returns. At this point, you want more. You want to see him grow up and glow up. You want to see the All-Star appearances. You want to see, if he is as good as you believe, championships and MVPs. More realistically, you want to watch him thrive as a solid rotational piece and a main contributor to your team. However, the process of progression generally doesn’t work this way. This road isn’t smooth and linear. It’s a road with its share of potholes, loose gravel, and detours. No one knows the realities of development more than the Golden State Warriors’ young quartet of Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Trayce Jackson-Davis. They are playing through fluctuating minutes (Moody, Jackson-Davis) and their own mistakes (Kuminga, Podziemski), all amid expectations of a fifth title for the aging core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. It’s too much for young players to bear all the while trying to
