Boston had reportedly shown strong interest in the Japanese star pitcher and met with him in Los Angeles in mid-December. The Red Sox pitched Yamamoto on playing for Boston, despite a strong showing which included outfielder Masataka Yoshida, per WEEI’s Rob Bradford, they failed to get a second meeting with the righty.

In the last week we had some discussion (again) about red-headed roaches on the SAPCA WhatsApp group. What follows is my experience with the species. Red headed cockroaches (Deropeltis erythrocephala) are a large species with adults reaching 60mm in males (including wings) and 50mm in females (Fig. 1). Females are apterous (no wings) and males have fully developed wings and are capable of flight. The red colouration is present in the legs and the head, but antennae are long and black (Fig.
In 2019, Reddit beat Twitter in terms of Monthly Active Userbase (MAU) and today in 2024, 1 in every 7 humans on planet earth visits Reddit at-least once a month🤯.
The unprecedented growth has led marketing experts to view Reddit as a formidable competitor to the likes of Wikipedia, YouTube, and even Amazon in certain high-value commercial searches.
There’s more. Reddit IPO took place (at $6.5 billion) on March 21,2024, 🌊breaking a 5 year long dry spell of social media platforms not being able to IPO.
In 1891, more than 25 years after the conclusion of the Civil War, Missouri Senator George Graham Vest, a former congressman for the Confederacy and chief drafter of Missouri’s 1861 Secession Ordinance, argued that the framers of the Constitution never addressed whether states have the right to secede from the Union–instead claiming that this question had been “inherited” and remained unanswered since 1789. Vest pronounced that “[i]n all revolutions the vanquished are the ones who are guilty of treason, even by the historians, for history is written by the victors and framed according to the prejudices and bias existing on their side.
Reds Top 5: Shortstops - by Don Helbig

Every avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds has a particular and usually fervent opinion on which players are the best in franchise history, particularly at each position. They’re always fun debates to take part in. With that in mind, I began a series that ranks who I believe are the best players at their position in franchise history.
My list of the top five at each position is based solely on what the player did in their career while wearing a Reds uniform.

Reeling Backward: Big Bad Mama (1974)
2024-12-04
It isn't hard to glimpse the genealogy of "Big Bad Mama." Movies about rebels and outlaws were popular during the late 1960s and early '70s, especially if it was set in oldentimes to create some distance to comment on the ongoing political and social strife. "Bonnie and Clyde" was a critical and cultural hit, so we got a lot more similar films to follow in its wake.
It's the story of a tough, single-minded woman who goes on a cross-country crime spree with her two teenage daughters, along with a couple of hanger-on men in tow.

What will Vin Diesel do once his film career is done living its life a quarter mile at a time? Hopefully go back to more character-driven material like the 2006 courtroom dramedy "Find Me Guilty."
At my day job at public radio (I know, I know...) during our pledge drives (Yeah, yeah...), one of our pitches for your financial support is that if every single person listening to the radio (or watching the telly) pledges just $5 right then and there, our pledge drive would be over.
