‘Every Brilliant Thing’ starts small, thinks big in Walnut Creek

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:32:21 GMT

What are the things that make life worth living? For the main character in “Every Brilliant Thing,” the solo play that Center Repertory Company is opening at Walnut Creek’s Lesher Center for the Arts, there’s a very long list that he keeps adding to all the time.It’s not an idle exercise. He started the list to give to his mother, who struggles with depression and the will to live. But the list takes on a life of its own that’s inextricably entangled with his own life.It’s not a typical solo show. Written by English playwright Duncan Macmillan with its original performer, Jonny Donahoe, the play involves a lot of audience interaction, but in a uniquely beautiful, purposeful way.“This is a piece of theater that does what we oftentimes will say theater is at its finest, which is a piece of community building,” says director Jeffrey Lo, who directed Caridad Svich’s “Red Bike” for Center Rep last year. “I think it’s step-by-step building community, building comfort within the audi...

California judge rules Snap must face lawsuit over children’s fentanyl purchases

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:32:21 GMT

By Brian Fung | CNNA California state judge has ruled that Snap must face a lawsuit from families whose children allegedly used the Snapchat app to purchase fentanyl on the platform.Tuesday’s ruling by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Lawrence Riff permits a dozen claims to proceed against Snap from the relatives of young people who allegedly suffered fentanyl overdoses that in many cases proved fatal.The decision could ultimately weaken the tech industry’s legal immunity shield, known as Section 230, and expose social media platforms to even more lawsuits.Riff’s decision allowing the case to move forward means Snap will have to fight allegations ranging from product defects to negligence and wrongful death.The ruling highlights the latest lawsuit to effectively circumvent a broad legal tool that tech companies have used for decades to nip content moderation suits in the bud. It has also come under frequent attack from politicians of both political parties in recent years.Tec...

Feds: Florida can import prescription drugs from Canada

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:32:21 GMT

By Matthew Perrone | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration on Friday cleared the way for Florida’s first-in-the-nation plan to import prescription drugs from Canada, a long-sought approach to accessing cheaper medications that follows decades of frustration with U.S. drug prices.Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the plan into law in 2019, but it required federal review and approval by the FDA, which controls prescription drug imports.Democratic President Joe Biden has backed such programs as a way to lower prices, signing an executive order in 2021 that directed the FDA to work with states on imports.The policy change represented a shift after years of successful lobbying by the pharmaceutical industry, which said imports would expose U.S. patients to risks of counterfeit or adulterated drugs. The FDA also previously warned of the difficulties of assuring the safety of drugs originating from outside the U.S.But the politics surrounding the issue have ...
