(ABC 6 News) – Since the early days of the pandemic, people buying and selling personal items online hassurged. Two of the most popular websites people are using today to sell unneeded items are Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.Both sites are safe to use if you know how to spot scams and how to avoid them. To demonstrate, I listed a DSLR camera I hadn’t used in years on Facebook Marketplace. I took a few photos of the camera, added a description, set a price, and hit save.Within a few minutes, I received 8 responses from other Facebook users asking if the item was still available. Before responding to those messages, I decided to check them out first.6 of the messages appeared to be from real people with authentic Facebook profile accounts from my area. Two of them were clearly faked. One user’s profile contained no photo, no posts, and no friends. A second suspicious profile only had a picture of a cat as his profile photo and had posted only once,  » Read More

Horrible business moves, artistic blunders, deeply questionable moral judgment — with appearances by Adam Levine, Kiss, Kanye West, and many more In the words of the 18th-century poet Alexander Pope, to err is human. But most of us regular humans make mistakes on pretty small scales, like leaving our house keys at work or forgetting to order fries in the drive-through. When rock stars screw up, they do it in epic, spectacular ways, with consequences that are often catastrophic.  They can lead to decades of bitter questions: “What if I didn’t wear that pink tank top in the music video? What if I didn’t say we were bigger than Jesus? What if I hadn’t given the Nazi salute at that British train station?”  But there’s no take-backs in life. Rock stars, like the rest of us, have to live with the consequences of their actions forever. In this list, we look back at the long history of rock stars’ fuckups and call out the 50 biggest ones. To be clear, we limited this largely to professional decisions that impacted careers.  » Read More

Sheetal Deo was shocked when she got a letter from her Queens apartment building’s co-op board calling her Diwali decoration “offensive” and demanding she take it down. “My decoration said ‘Happy Diwali’ and had a swastika on it,” said Deo, a physician, who was celebrating the Hindu festival of lights. The equilateral cross with its legs bent at right angles is a millennia-old sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism that represents peace and good fortune, and was also used widely by Indigenous people worldwide in a similar vein. But in the West, this symbol is often equated to Adolf Hitler’s hakenkreuz or the hooked cross – a symbol of hate that evokes the trauma of the Holocaust and the horrors of Nazi Germany. White supremacists, neo-Nazi groups and vandals have continued to use Hitler’s symbol to stoke fear and hate. Over the past decade, as the Asian diaspora has grown in North America, the call to reclaim the swastika as a sacred symbol has become louder. These minority faith communities are being joined by Native American elders whose ancestors have long used the symbol as part of healing rituals.  » Read More

MORAGA, Calif. – Behind a career-high 24 points and 10 rebounds from Taiyanna Jackson, the Kansas Women’s Basketball team secured a 73-53 victory over Saint Mary’s on Saturday at the University Credit Union Pavilion. The Jayhawks finished 2-0 at the Saint Mary’s Thanksgiving Classic and improved to 5-0 on the year with the victory. Jackson secured her third double-double of the season – and seventh of her career – with an all-around dominating performance. She hit 9-of-12 field goals and all six of her free throw attempts in the strongest offensive output of her career. Jackson added 10 rebounds, five blocked shots, two assists and one steal, which led to KU having a +38 scoring advantage with her on the floor. The Jayhawks led 15-12 after a hard-fought first quarter that saw KU get three-pointers from Holly Kersgieter and Zakiyah Franklin, who’s triple broke a 12-all tie late in the period. Saint Mary’s scored the first four points of the second quarter, but it would be all it got until the final minute of the period as KU went on an 18-0 run that lasted almost seven minutes of game time.  » Read More

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Santiago Vescovi scored 20 points while No. 22 Tennessee defeated third-ranked Kansas to beat the reigning national champions 64-50 in Friday night’s championship game at the Battle 4 Atlantis. Vescovi hit five 3-pointers to drive the offense for the Volunteers (5-1), who dominated the glass, overcame their own turnover troubles and made the Jayhawks work for clean looks. The win led to a title and Vescovi being picked as the tournament’s most valuable player. Jalen Wilson and Joseph Yesefu each scored 14 points to lead the Jayhawks (6-1), who shot 28.6% in the first half and never warmed up. They made 5 of 21 3-pointers in what was an all-around rough night, from losing starting guard Dajuan Harris to fouls with 9 minutes left to failing to keep the Vols off the glass (45-27). Wilson was named to the All-Tournament Team. The Vols held the Jayhawks to 32.1% shooting, bothering them with size and length around the rim. And they showed the toughness to take the ball right at the Jayhawks with 5-foot-9 sophomore guard Zakai Zeigler leading the way.  » Read More
