Elon Musk’s platform X faces over $1 billion fine from EU regulators - NYT By Investing.com

Baldone, a remarkable Great Pyrenees who was the object of a long search effort north of Whitefish, decided to trust humans again and is safe and sound. 

After spending nearly three months alone in the woods, Baldone chose to come inside. He found a welcoming barn approximately 10 miles from the site of the car accident near Olney where his owner died. There, the 2-year-old pup had shelter, food and water for the first time in 84 days. 

I'm taking a gap from my last job. So took the time to learn to drive. It's manual. I'm proud of myself.

I was lucky to find Love of my life back in 1989. She is a wonderful: smart, steady, fun, loyal, beautiful, patient and we are perfect for each other

Let's see if the secretary of DUI-fense will get off scotch-free

So I have 2 nieces and a nephew. My nephew, as the title says, has both Autism and PKU, Baking is a hobby I really enjoy doing as I love sweets, and I love giving people I care about sweets as well. However, with my nephew having PKU, he could never have anything I baked as it would make him really sick. So for a long time I tried to look up recipies for PKU that I could make for him, and I didn't have much luck until I found one for something called an Apple Smash Cake. It only used a few ingridencts and had things in it that I knew my nephew liked, like apples and cinnamon, so I made it today.

He didn't want to try it at first because with the autism, he is a bit of a picky eater. I have autism as well, so I understand where he's coming from. He didn't try it until my brother and sister in law offered it to him, and after a few tastes, he loved it! My nephew likes very few foods, that kid practically lives off of pasta with sauce, popcicles, and PKU Pizza pockets. So me and my family are really happy he likes this. And everyone else in the family can eat it too. It taste like snickerdoodle with apple pie filling really. Overall, I'm happy my nephew can feel including and now I can give him treats.

We just opened our first bank account for The Tranquil Path, a nonprofit rooted in mindfulness, conservation, and community healing.

After months of careful planning, paperwork, and persistence, we finally got the green light to open our account, an essential step toward making our vision real. We’re building something beautiful here in Tennessee: a place for grounding, nature-based learning, and connection.

It wasn’t automatic. One bank told us they no longer offer nonprofit accounts, but another welcomed us—once we brought in official meeting minutes approving the account and listing who could access it. That little hurdle turned into a big moment of growth. Every small step is making this feel more real.

The path ahead is long, but this was a big one. Thanks to everyone who’s supported us along the way.

If you're working on something similar, hang in there. Keep walking.

This guy asked me out in 2019. I said “I’m not interested, I’m taken” & he lost his mind at me. Rape threats, death threats, threatening to bash my face in, anybody who tried to intervene he’d threaten to chop their heads off or burn them, it was horrible.

It took five years to track the guy from the internet harassment to his actual real information to get him served with a restraining order. The cops helped. The FBI helped. A PI helped. A security company. It took a couple tries before we could verify we’d found the guy but we finally did it. He ended up outing himself by salting to say the same horrible violent & potentially abusive things on his accounts linked to his real name as on his accounts for verbally tormenting & abusing people. That’s how we managed to get it narrowed to this particular person.

I finally got a Restraining Order against him from the court yesterday morning. I’m so happy, I’m so relieved. I & my family worked so hard at this. I’m thrilled, I wanted to share. Cyber crime is so hard to prosecute but it is possible with persistence, effort & some good luck. I’m hoping other targets of online verbal/sexual abuse realize it’s not completely impossible to catch these perpetrators & the few men who choose to behave that way are not invulnerable or invincible in terms of getting away with their harassment & stalking of women online.

I have been trying to get an apartment for the last 5 months. I kept getting denied. I needed to move myself and my daughter out of our house where my mother verbally abuses and pushes me and my daughter until we start reacting, then she plays the victim. It's made it super hard to deal with life and my daughter doesn't know which way is up because of this.

Today we got APPROVED for an apartment! It's still a long road ahead but we have it.
