Ask Amy: They used to love visiting grandma’s farm, until this happened. What do I tell her?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:24 GMT

Dear Amy: I love and appreciate my mother-in-law, I really do.She and her husband live about 500 miles away from us, and ever since our two children were young, she has invited them to spend three weeks during the summer at their farm, which is in a beautiful rural area. The kids love this time away, and my husband and I do, too.Last year when we went to pick up the kids (a girl and a boy, ages 6 and 9), we were quite shocked to see that their grandmother had cut their hair. Both kids wear their hair fairly long and we have always let them decide how they want to have their hair.I didn’t mention their haircuts, but in the car on the way home they both expressed how upset they were.It might sound like a small thing, but the kids seem reluctant to share their summer with their grandparents this year.I’d like to address this with my mother-in-law and pave the way for everyone to have a happy time this summer.Your suggestion?Concerned MomDear Concerned: Hair is an extremely important id...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:24 GMT

On September 26, 2022, at approximately 2:03 a.m. local time in the Baltic Sea off the southeast coast of the Danish island of Bornholm, the Nord Stream 2 underwater pipeline was rocked by two blasts. Those explosions, followed by a series of other targeted detonations on the older Nord Stream 1 pipelines some 17 hours later, were swiftly assessed to be the result of deliberate sabotage. The explosions off the Swedish and Danish coasts set off an international mystery with unimaginably high stakes. There are a variety of international players, including powerful nation states, who would have had the motive, capability, and opportunity to conduct such an operation.This week on Intercepted, investigative journalist and author James Bamford takes us on a tour of what he calls “the biggest Whodunnit of the century.” Bamford is one of the most respected experts on U.S. intelligence operations and covert action. He is the author of several best-selling books, including “The Puzzle Palac...

Post-pubescent, angsty, opinionated — and ready to vote in Belgium

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:24 GMT

MECHELEN, Belgium — Meet Europe’s newest electorate, aged 16 to 18.On a recent rainy day in the Belgian city of Mechelen, north of Brussels, a gaggle of teens gathered in a history classroom not to learn about the Flemish Renaissance or French Revolution — but to become the first Belgians under 18 to register to vote in next year’s European Parliament election.“We are affected, so why wouldn’t we be able to vote?” reasoned 17-year-old Selle Haemhouts. “Politicians really need to listen to what young people say.”Last year, Belgium became the third country in the European Union to lower the voting age to 16 for the European elections. The result is a wave of Gen Z voters that is poised to break over the country — or at least try to land with a splash.Soaring participation by young people drove voter turnout in the 2019 European election, a Eurobarometer survey found. Similarly, the youth vote helped rock last year’s midterm vote in the United States.With the addition of 16- to 17-year...
