Dear Abby: My dad is going to go berserk when he sees how my wife altered his photo

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:42:57 GMT

DEAR ABBY: Every year, my wife makes a photo book of the family and sends it to everyone.This year, she included a picture taken during a nephew’s birthday party. In it, my father is wearing a politically charged T-shirt; my wife photoshopped out the offending (to us) message.When I asked her to not do that, but instead to remove the entire photo, she refused. She said there were no other good photos from the party, so her only option was to remove the message on the shirt.I’m opposed because my father will be angry when he realizes his shirt has been altered in the photo. He will then bring it up at every opportunity and berate me, my wife and even my mother about how terrible it was to do that, and for us not to bother ever sending him another photo book again, despite my mother looking forward to it every year.What is your advice for us?OUT OF FOCUS IN FLORIDARelated ArticlesAdvice | Dear Abby: My mother-in-law told me her secret, and then died.

OPINIÓN | Las imágenes del histórico día de Trump cuentan una historia sorprendente

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:42:57 GMT

(CNN) — Los helicópteros de los medios de comunicación planeaban mientras una hilera de vehículos todoterreno recorría a toda velocidad la FDR Drive de Manhattan. Una multitud de periodistas, simpatizantes y curiosos esperaban en el Tribunal Penal de Manhattan, rodeados de agentes de policía. Todos esperaban la llegada del acusado.Puede que el ambiente fuera inusual –los miles de neoyorquinos que pasan por el tribunal cada año rara vez llaman mucho la atención–, pero lo que ocurrió dentro fue un proceso ordinario: un acusado se entregó, fue detenido y se le tomaron las huellas dactilares y compareció ante un juez para escuchar los cargos y presentar una declaración de culpabilidad.El espectáculo exterior –y el que seguramente evolucionará a medida que el expresidente Donald Trump intente hacerse con el control de la historia de su acusación– podría tentar a los observadores a ver la detención de Trump como un acontecimiento extraordinario. Y es histórico: ningún expresidente h...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting Warsaw on Wednesday, where he will meet his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda in his first official visit to Poland since the beginning of Russia’s war in Ukraine.Ukraine’s leader will discuss issues such as tensions over increased grain exports to Poland — something that’s becoming a political problem as it’s annoying Polish farmers — as well as the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, supplying more weapons to Kyiv and Ukraine’s tighter integration with the EU, said Polish government spokesperson Piotr Müller.“We want to conduct these talks in the spirit of thinking about the future,” presidential foreign policy adviser Marcin Przydacz said. Zelenskyy choosing Warsaw, “shows what role we play in international politics today,” the adviser added.
