Ski Resorts Hit Hard by Warm Winter

Winter in the Southwest is looking way different this year—ski resorts are hurting big time because there’s barely any snow. Shops are empty, seasons are ending early, and some spots can’t even open. It’s not just a bummer for skiers; farmers and wildlife are feeling it too. Climate change is speeding up the ‘season creep’ and making winters drier. Some resorts are trying snow machines, but it’s not enough. Think we’ll ever switch to all clean energy? #News #ClimateChange #SkiResorts

As a nurse, I see both sides and it’s breaking my heart.

I work as an RN at a community hospital in Missouri. Every week we see people showing up in the ER for problems that should’ve been handled months ago — infections, untreated diabetes, simple things that turned serious. Now, with these new Medicaid work requirements, I can already tell what’s going to happen: more people will fall through the cracks. Not because they’re lazy, but because they don’t understand the paperwork, can’t log hours online, or simply don’t meet the arbitrary definition of “working enough.” Healthcare folks are exhausted too. We patch people up, send them home, and know deep down they’ll be back in a few weeks worse off. I wish policymakers could stand in our ER for just one day and see what happens when bureaucracy replaces compassion. How are other healthcare workers feeling about this change? #MedicaidMatters #Medicare

Immigration Welfare Policy and My Child’s Classroom

I live in suburban Texas. My child’s first-grade class went from 20-something to nearly 40 students. The teacher explained that more immigrant families moved in, forcing the school to expand without extra funding. Even chairs are short. My property tax keeps going up, but my child says, “The teacher doesn’t have time to help me read.” I don’t blame the immigrant families—they’re trying to live better. But when resources are stretched thin, someone gets left behind. I hope policymakers balance educational resources, not just keep raising taxpayers’ bills. #ImmigrationPolicyNow

Star Casino Drama: Can Bally’s Save the Day?

Star Entertainment’s new chairman, Soo Kim, just called out the company’s previous management for running its Aussie casinos into the ground—think losing hundreds of millions in just two years! He says it’s the worst mismanagement he’s ever seen, but Bally’s (the new owners) are betting big on a turnaround. Kim claims the Sydney and Gold Coast casinos are still worth billions and could be the comeback story of the decade. Would you take that gamble? #News #StarEntertainment #CasinoNews

Solar Flare Drama: Will Your Lights Flicker?

Heads up: a mega solar flare could mess with power and radio in 22 states, so if your phone drops signal or your lights flicker, blame the sun! This solar storm isn’t just a sky show (hello, Northern Lights in weird places)—it can stress the power grid and disrupt flights, ships, and emergency calls. Pro tip: keep devices charged and have a flashlight handy, just in case the sun decides to zap your next Zoom call. #Business #Industry #SolarFlare

How Serial Killer Khalil Wheeler-Weaver Was Brought Down By The Same App He Used To Hunt For Victims

Khalil Wheeler-Weaver lived a double life — a calm, well-dressed young man from Orange, New Jersey, working security jobs while secretly hunting women online. Between August and November of 2016, he used dating and social apps like Tagged to lure victims, murdering three women and attempting to kill a fourth. His victims included 19-year-old Robin West, 33-year-old Joanne Brown, and 20-year-old college student Sarah Butler, whose tragic death finally exposed his crimes. Sarah met him through Tagged and was found strangled and raped beneath a pile of sticks. Her family refused to let her death go unanswered. Using Sarah’s own account, her sister created a fake profile on Tagged and teamed up with police to set a trap. When Wheeler-Weaver arrived expecting another victim, undercover officers were waiting. Investigators later found chilling online searches and phone records linking him to all three murders. In 2021, after facing the victims’ families in court, he was sentenced to 160 years in prison — ending the reign of the so-called Tagged Killer. #TrueCrime #JusticeForSarah #TaggedKiller #ChaunceyDatGuy
