"We're feeling concerned about the program going away because of not only what it offers the graduates, but also what the graduates offer the community," said Edith Guillen-Nueve, the program's associate director.
"It's been in continuous disrepair and derelict circumstances. There were reported firearms, individuals walking out onto the street with assault rifles, drug paraphernalia that you can even find today, a lot of drug use."
If someone was to come into this room right now and pop you and me in the head and kill us, when we turned around, what would we see? Would we see the devil sittin' there in that seat ready to blow our head off, or would we see a regular motherfucker?
I've been seeing this guy for the last two months. The other day, I found out that he was posted about in a social media group, and I found out by lots of my friends texting me to tell me what had happened. The comments were horrific, saying that he was well known for using cocaine and cheating on ex-girlfriends. I didn't want to believe it but some girls shared screenshots of what he was sending them as recently as the last couple of weeks.
Grikstas reportedly told police that she, Poorstacy and their toddler checked into the hotel about a week before his death, sources told TMZ.

In the second episode, Rachel Sennott's Maia and Odessa A'zion's Tallulah meet with the latter's rival from New York, a polished blonde influencer who claims Tallulah stole her Balenciaga bag. The visit is meant to mend fences; naturally, it devolves into a cocaine-fueled nightmare caught on video. The footage leaks online, and Maia's gentle teacher boyfriend, Dylan (Josh Hutcherson), learns his coke-snorting face has become a meme, "Coke Larry," while chaperoning the school carnival.
Drug users have found a dangerous and cheap way to get a high that is fueling a surge in HIV diagnoses. Called 'bluetoothing', the practice involves injecting yourself with the blood of another drug user in an effort to share in their high.

My previous posts on agreements between relationship partners have focused on sexual agreements, the rules or understandings couples form related to sex with partners outside their relationship (Cain & Starks, 2024). Almost two decades of research has examined the types of sexual agreements couples form, challenges with sexual agreement formation, and associations between sexual agreements and sexual behavior outcomes (most notably sexual HIV transmission risk, use of sexual risk reduction strategies, and drug use). Our recent paper (Starks & Cain, 2025), published in Couple and Family Psychology: Research and Practice, extends this work on behavioral agreements to substance use.
Emerson was subdued by the flight crew after trying to cut the engines of a Horizon Air flight from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco on 22 October 2023, while he was riding in an extra seat in the cockpit. The plane was diverted to Portland, where it landed safely with more than 80 people on board. Emerson told police he was despondent over a friend's recent death, had taken psychedelic mushrooms about two days earlier, and hadn't slept in more than 40 hours.
And in whatever chunks of time that I was off the pipe, trying to navigate that, trying to come to terms with it - 'Where did that come from?... Why did that happen? - and then just finally being like, 'So what?' So what? Some of it was weird. A lot of it was f***ing fun, and life goes on.
"Brendan Paul testified that Combs was 'extremely creative' under the influence of drugs, showcasing how the hip-hop mogul's behavior changed in those moments."
Around 10:00 a.m., sheriff's deputies patrolling the area on foot surrounded a man being cited for narcotics use, which reflected ongoing law enforcement action against drug-related issues in the neighborhood.
The actions of the individual, who disrupted a protected public space and endangered the safety of others, are deeply regrettable and strongly condemned.
