I’m basically a child. And what do children love? Snapchat. While I wouldn’t say that I love Snapchat, I must confess that I do “snap.” Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. Sitting in a cafe, I get a notification from a person I was very close with in high school. For privacy, I’m going to make up a fake garbage school. Let’s call it the “San Diego State University.” Anyways, this guy and I have what I would call a Snapchat relationship — a dwindling one at that. So my friend who goes to the “San Diego State University” sent me a snap and I responded, not with a photo of my face — ew — but with the surroundings of this local underground cafe near campus — it’s called Caffe Strada, you have got to check it out. It was a quick photo, nothing to write home about, just of the people I’m sitting with. He opens the snap right away, and I see his dumb little Bitmoji pop up and down as he workshops a comment. He replies: “so berkley.” And knowing this man, this was not a compliment. I furrowed my brow, confused by what he

Lockdown at Moody High School lifted after Snapchat threat traced out of state LOST THEIR COOKIES. SURELY SOMEBODY. RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WE’VE GOT SOME NEAR RECORD WARMTH FOR THE WEEK AHEAD. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THIS. A WARMER THAN AVERAGE TREND. AND BOY WE’RE TALKING SOME 15 DEGREES ABOVE WHERE WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THIS, THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.

In an unprecedented joint interview, the three U.S. cardinals who are currently leading archdioceses — Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, Washington, D.C. Cardinal Robert McElroy and Newark, New Jersey, Cardinal Joseph Tobin — spoke with CBS's Norah O'Donnell in a segment for "60 Minutes" last night. They forcefully echoed Pope Leo XIV's calls for peace and repeated his, and their own, distress about the Trump administration's anti-immigrant policies. Key moments included O'Donnell asking about Iran "Is this a just war?" McElroy replied: "No, in the Catholic teaching this is not a just war. The Catholic faith teaches us there are certain prerequisites for a just war. You can't go for a variety of different aims. You have to have a focused aim, which is to restore justice and restore peace. That's it."   Tobin clarified the pope's role in addressing issues of world concern: "He's the pastor of the world. He's not a pundit. So the distinction is he's not going to pronounce on everything. But he's going to pronounce on what's important." Asked how he would respond to someone who says they do not want to hear politics from the pulpit,  » Read More

The Delta State Police Command has uncovered a sophisticated cybercrime scheme involving a 17-year-old student who allegedly hacked into the WhatsApp accounts of prominent celebrities to solicit funds and distribute explicit materials. The suspect, whose identity remains withheld due to his age, was also found to be operating a “syndicate” within his school, where he allegedly sold pornographic content to his classmates. During an interactive session with popular comedian Otaghware Onodjayeke, also known as “I Go Save,” the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ugborikoko Division in Uvwie Local Government Area, Temi Agbede Zuokumor, disclosed that the teenager was apprehended during a routine check. According to the DPO, the investigation took a suspicious turn when the suspect’s mother attempted to shield him by claiming the mobile device found in his possession belonged to his sister. “The woman looked very modest, so I asked her if she was from Deeper Life. She said no. I then asked why her son took a phone to school, and she claimed it belonged to his sister,” Agbede Zuokumor stated. Following inconsistent statements from the mother, the police audited the device. The search revealed that the phone was used exclusively by the teenager and contained over

Blake Snell began the 2026 season on the 15-day injured list because of left shoulder fatigue, but continues to make progress toward a return to the Los Angeles Dodgers rotation. The left-hander threw a 15-pitch simulated inning at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, which included facing Tommy Edman and Alex Call. “It’s very big,” Snell said of facing batters for the first time in his recovery. “Especially big league hitters, and I know Tommy getting in there for the first time was big for him. To get feedback is very important. And to see A.C., who I faced every time I pitched against the Nationals. He’s a tough hitter. “So to be able to face two good hitters, feeling good. I got a lot of work to do still but definitely a big step.” Snell has been encouraged with his health after changing his diet and integrating Pilates into his training routine. “I feel great,” Snell said. “I’ve done a lot of different things than I did last year when I was in this position, so I feel way better. I’m very excited with how I feel right now and where I’m at. Getting back to some normalcy again feels really

WhatsApp may be about to undergo one of the most significant changes in its history. Meta is testing a new system that will allow conversations using unique usernames, without exposing the phone number in all interactions. This new feature is being referred to as a possible “ghost mode” for the app and reinforces the company’s commitment to more privacy and convenience. According to recent reports on the testing versions, the username feature is in advanced development and is expected to gradually gain traction throughout 2026.  Currently, the phone number is still the basis of identity on WhatsApp. With the new proposal, this is starting to change. The idea is to allow each user to have a unique identifier, similar to what already happens on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. In practice, this paves the way for starting conversations and even calls without needing to directly disclose the personal number.  Phone number no longer the only entry point The main shift lies in the use of unique usernames. This system can reduce the exposure of the phone number in contacts with strangers, clients, event attendees, and professional relationships. The account registration remains linked to the number, but daily interaction tends to
