Ask Amy: We made it through this horrible wedding, and then we learned the couple’s secret

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:38 GMT

Dear Amy: Your recent answer to “Disgruntled Guest” regarding a destination wedding inspired me to write.For those who want to have a destination wedding, my suggestion is to focus on each other and the moment. Come home afterward and have a gathering with family and friends.My wife and I attended a formal beach wedding. Sand was blowing and we couldn’t hear the officiant over the waves. Afterward, we attended a formal dinner and ate the worst food ever.We attended out of obligation, an obligation I wish we’d never agreed to. It was five days of enforced partying with a small group of people we wouldn’t choose to vacation with. (We gave the couple a very generous gift, as well.)Then we learned that they were married by a judge months before their destination wedding.A few months after the destination wedding, they had a very large formal gathering again, and more money was forked out.It was the Never-ending Wedding!– Never AgainDear Never Again: I’m picturing a marrying ...

¿Por qué los cubanos están luchando en la guerra de Rusia contra Ucrania?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:38 GMT

Santa Clara, Cuba (CNN) — Durante meses, cientos de cubanos han abandonado silenciosamente la isla para luchar por Rusia en su guerra en Ucrania, persiguiendo promesas de dinero y ciudadanía rusa de reclutadores en línea en la sombra, dijeron miembros de familias cubanas a CNN.En gran parte de Cuba, la economía se ha estancado debido a la fuerte caída del turismo, el aumento de la inflación y las renovadas sanciones de Estados Unidos. En lugares como Santa Clara, una ciudad de unos 250.000 habitantes con frecuentes apagones diarios de varias horas de duración y más caballos y carretas en la carretera que automóviles, parecía haber un número ilimitado de hombres desafectos a los que reclutar.Hombres como Miguel, que en julio viajó a Rusia y poco después se encontraba en primera línea de la guerra con Ucrania, según declaró su madre Cecilia a CNN. “Mi hijo ganaba unos 2.000 pesos al mes”, haciendo trabajos ocasionales en Santa Clara, dijo. “Ahora no se puede co...

Elon Musk: Twitter (sorry, X) could go behind a paywall

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:19:38 GMT

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said he plans to start charging all users of X, his social media platform formerly known as Twitter.“We are moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the X system,” Musk said during a live-streamed conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. “It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots.”Musk and Netanyahu discussed the rise of AI and ways to curb antisemitism and hate speech on X. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said X currently has about 550 million monthly users posting between 100 to 200 million posts per day, and “some of those are going to be bad.” When asked about ways to prevent fake accounts from amplifying hateful posts, Musk said setting up a paywall for the site is the “only defense,” as a subscription would make it harder for bots to create multiple accounts using multiple credit cards.“A bot costs a fraction of a penny … but if someone has to pay a few dollars or a minor amount,...

Emergency crews were called to an apartment building on Tremont Street in Brighton late Monday night after a 30-foot retaining wall collapsed. Residents of the building near Oak Square say the retaining wall was recently replaced and several parked cars were damaged when it came down. One woman said her vehicle was shifted 10 feet by mud that came rushing through the collapsed wall.The area of the collapse was still blocked off with caution tape early Tuesday morning and officials have not said how long it will take to repair.“There’s just a river of mud around the building,” said Wesley Ratliff, who heard the wall come down.Carla Leite, who said the wall was replaced in May, is now wondering if the people who built it considered drainage and other issues.
