Dear Abby: I worry that the TV weather report will harm emotionally vulnerable people

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:41:17 GMT

DEAR ABBY: My local TV meteorologists and reporters have a terrible habit of calling rainy weather “miserable,” cloudy weather “gloomy,” and any other non-sunny day “dreary.” With so many horrible events in the news on a daily basis, reporting the weather this way seems irresponsible and reckless.For some emotionally vulnerable members of our community, these negative words could be dangerous.Weather is weather. When we were kids, my friends and I would play outside in the rain and none of us ever thought of it as gloomy, dreary or miserable. Using such a powerful medium as television in this way could have a negative impact on people who are already in a dark place.IT’S RAINING BUT NOT DREARY IN DELAWAREDEAR IT’S RAINING: Thank you for speaking up, but you are addressing your comments to the wrong person — they should be directed to the manager of your local television station.While some weather forecasters may speak off the cuf...

IMF’s Georgieva: ‘Risks to financial stability have increased’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:41:17 GMT

The outlook for the global economy is likely to remain weak in the medium term amid heightened risks to financial stability, according to International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.“We expect 2023 to be another challenging year, with global growth slowing to below 3 percent as scarring from the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and monetary tightening weigh on economic activity,” Georgieva said on Sunday at a conference in China. “Even with a better outlook for 2024, global growth will remain well below its historic average of 3.8 percent,” she said. “It is also clear that risks to financial stability have increased,” Georgieva said. “At a time of higher debt levels, the rapid transition from a prolonged period of low-interest rates to much higher rates — necessary to fight inflation — inevitably generates stresses and vulnerabilities, as evidenced by recent developments in the banking sector in some advanced economies.&#...

Geneva Convention flouted by Russia

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:41:17 GMT

Under the Geneva Convention, Russia is obliged to return all severely wounded Ukrainian POWs to UkraineRussia is constantly sabotaging the exchange of POWs by violating the Geneva Convention, which requires treating them humanely. This fundamental principle is simply not respected by Russia.Today, the Russian Federation is illegally holding hostage Ukrainian civilians, including children, women and the elderly, who have been detained by Russian special services in the occupied territories, as well as seriously wounded and seriously ill Ukrainian servicemen.All these categories of citizens should be returned to Ukraine without any conditions under international humanitarian law. Despite this, Russia not only continues to hold civilian and seriously wounded servicemen hostage, but also refuses to allow representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross access to their places of detention. Furthermore, the Russians do not provide Ukrainian POWs with proper conditions, nece...

Ask Amy: We’re tired of the ‘hot Christian woman’ drama

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:41:17 GMT

Dear Amy: Over the last two decades, my partner and I have helped a friend through several abusive relationships, rehab and financial issues. Now, not unlike her history of addiction, she’s suddenly “found God” to the extreme.She carries a Bible, goes to Bible study, and her Facebook posts are all about God.She says she wants to move on from her past and yet she then posts: “In search of a Hot Christian Man, because I am a Hot Christian Woman.”Yes, she is definitely a “babe” (and she dresses like one), but I’ve suggested a milder route in her search for purity. She disagrees, and says that I just don’t get it.Maybe I don’t get it, but if she got a job and dialed God back a few notches, I think “Hot Man” would find her.Related ArticlesAdvice | Ask Amy: I was mortified when they saw we had swiped their wine Advice | Ask Amy: Can I cut my tip because of my stylist’s high prices?
