In 2024, she started working at Costco, and her husband says she looks "lighter" coming home. I started working as a high school math teacher in 2007. Eventually, it was too much and I decided to leave my job at the school and go work at Costco instead. I decided to apply at Costco and got a job stocking shelves on the early shift, starting around 4 a.m. Equally, I was looking forward to working a job and then leaving it at work — not taking anything home with me.

I understand why people track their kidsMost people track their children for one of two reasons: to ensure their safety or to ensure they're going where they said they were. But that extra step feels like we're communicating and respecting each other, rather than me stealthily watching him on my phone. But it's one more way they're growing up; I'm trying to grow up and let go as well.

She wants to rebuild for her family of six, but the costs are overwhelming, especially since her rental assistance ran out two months ago. For many Lahaina homeowners, rental assistance through their insurance ended in October after they’d spent the first couple of months post-fire filing claims and getting shuffled into hotels. Carolyn Auweloa and Mikey Burke have started Lahaina Community Land Trust so residents have the option to stay in Lahaina or sell within the community. Before they can apply for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s rental assistance, homeowners must first exhaust all of their LOU and ALE policies, which cover rental costs when a disaster makes your home uninhabitable. The Lahaina Community Land Trust understands that funding is an uphill battle, but it has slowly been making gains.

A coalition of Canada’s biggest news organizations is suing OpenAI, the maker of the artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT, accusing the company of illegally using their content in the first case of its kind in the country. Five of the country’s major news companies, including the publishers of its top newspapers, newswires and the national broadcaster, filed the joint suit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Friday morning. While this is the first such lawsuit in Canada, it is similar to a suit brought against OpenAI and Microsoft in the United States in 2023 by The New York Times, claiming copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. The two companies have denied the suit’s claims. In response to the Canadian lawsuit, a spokesman for OpenAI said “We have not yet had the opportunity to review the allegations,” but added that “our models are trained on publicly available data, grounded in fair use and related international copyright principles that are fair for creators and support innovation.”
