SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — If you're not told you are fired, are you really fired? At Twitter, probably. And then, sometimes, you get your job back—if you want it. Get all of the latest news, weather, sports, and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Haraldur Thorleifsson, who until recently was employed at Twitter, logged in to his computer last Sunday to do some work—only to find himself locked out, along with 200 others. He might have figured, as others before him have in the chaotic months of layoffs and firings since Elon Musk took over the company, that he was out of a job.Instead, after nine days of no answer from Twitter as to whether or not he was still employed, Thorleifsson decided to tweet at Musk to see if he could catch the billionaire's attention and get an answer to his Schrödinger’s job situation. “Maybe if enough people retweet you’ll answer me here?” he wrote on Monday.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:35:25 GMT

Kim Visintine said her son had his first chemotherapy treatment at three weeks old. A year later, Visintine and her husband had $100,000 in medical debt. Six years later, their son died.But it wasn’t until she found hometown friends on Facebook that Visintine connected her son’s cancer – a rare form of brain tumor called a glioblastoma multiforme — to Coldwater Creek, which runs through north St. Louis County. Visintine and other current and former residents started to realize just how many of their loved ones were sick and how many cases of rare cancers could be connected back to the area.The likely culprit, they came to believe, was radioactive waste left over from the Manhattan Project. “We are the victims of friendly fire from World War II,” Visintine told a Missouri House committee Tuesday evening. Visitine and other current and former St. Louis area residents packed a Missouri Capitol committee room to implore lawmakers to pass legislation that would f...

Missouri’s laws surrounding the trafficking of minors might be changing after a bill received initial approval by legislators Tuesday.House members debated a bill proposed by Rep. Jeff Coleman, R-Grain Valley, that would modify the offense of “enticing a child.”The current statute defines a victim as a child less than 15 years old, but this legislation would increase that age to less than 17.Currently, penalty distinctions for patronizing prostitution are under the age of 14 and older than 14. This bill would increase the age to 15, and make the under the age of 15 distinction a Class B felony rather than a Class D felony.According to World Population Review, Missouri ranks 5th in human trafficking with 4.3 cases per 100,000 people.Rep. Barbara Phifer, D-St. Louis, questioned why 17-year-olds are not included in this legislation. According to Coleman, they cannot be included because of Missouri’s current age of consent.Under current Missouri law, the age of consent is 17 y...
