Doja Cat Tackles Her Demons: Grammy-winning hip-hop star Dojo Cat is exploring her dark side on new single and video “Demons.”Doja co-directed the amazing video alongside Christian Breslauer (SZA/Chris Brown), and it’s got a wonderfully spooky horror movie vibe. TVs on snowy white noise, kids tossing and turning, lightning — it’s all there. Then we see a demon crawling (cat-like, dare we say) across the ceiling. Great stuff.The tune is a banger. “I would never let you in my VIP; We are enemies, we are foes; Who are you, what are those; You are gross,” she coos, unceremoniously. These, apparently, are her demons.“The video features a special cameo from Emmy-Award winning actress, Christina Ricci (The Addams Family / Netflix’s Wednesday),” reads the press release. “’Demons’ made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards.”Doja Cat Tackles Her Demons: Doja...

The little town that builds NFL footballs — all 480,000 of them

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:27 GMT

In the 154 years since Princeton and Rutgers played what became known as the first official collegiate football game, the sport has become a billion-dollar industry that enraptures millions of fans every season. But without 150 people working in a small Ohio factory, the game would be a nonstarter.The Wilson Sporting Goods factory in Ada, Ohio, produces roughly 700,000 footballs – including 480,000 for the NFL – each year. By hand.Each and every football used during any professional or college football game is produced at the factory, the exclusive supplier since 1955. The balls, made from stamped cowhide – no pigskin here – are cut, sewn, manipulated and stitched by the workers who define devotion to their craft, many who have worked 40-plus years at the factory.“Our employees are dedicated and hardworking, show a passion for sports and are committed to upholding the excellence in craftsmanship that Wilson has become known for over its 100-plus year history,” says Sarah Houseknecht...

‘I consider them lazy’: Dublin introduces fines for rule-breaking real estate signs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:27 GMT

Dublin’s elected officials have stepped in with new rules for displaying open-house signs in an attempt to end the bickering between real estate agents who’ve complained their competitors are flouting the rules and gaining an unfair business advantage.Complaints over the past year, officials say, included agents exceeding the number of allowable signs per property and keeping the signs up past the sunset deadline for removal.“We were hoping that the realtors would be able to solve it amongst themselves, so that it wouldn’t have to come to council,” said Mayor Melissa Hernandez during the council’s Aug. 15 meeting, when it approved an amendment to city code governing real estate signs. She added: “But it seems like now it’s getting to the point where it’s not being solved.”The new rules introduce fines for repeated violations, from $100 to $500, and a deadline to take down open-house signs by 5:30 p.m. The council also upped...

A year later, Bay Area doctor’s mission to provide abortions on a boat has yet to launch

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:27 GMT

The UCSF doctor who made national headlines last year for seeking to provide abortions in federal waters, several miles off the coasts of states that heavily restrict them, is still stuck on land — for now.Dr. Amy “Meg” Autry’s ambitious plan involved raising tons of money and purchasing a vessel where abortions could be offered to those living near the Gulf Coast who can’t afford to drive or fly elsewhere.But a year later, despite raising over a million dollars from small donors, she hasn’t been able to secure donations from wealthy benefactors or large foundations wary of investing in an enterprise that would almost immediately enter the legal crosshairs of states with newly restrictive abortion laws.The initiative — Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes (PRROWESSS ) — has made little progress, Autry said. She has yet to even acquire a boat.“With the whole legal situation here in the U.S., we could have a launch on...

Vallejo police delay town hall addressing slow response time

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:56:27 GMT

(BCN) -- The second of two town hall meetings to discuss Vallejo police response to alarm calls that was originally scheduled for Thursday has been postponed to Sept. 14, officials said. The town hall meetings were scheduled to discuss the Vallejo Police Department's proposal to reduce response to certain unverified alarm calls, citing limited sworn officer staffing. "We have carefully examined a variety of calls for service and have determined that alarm calls have approximately a 98 percent rate of being unfounded," the department said in a press release last month. The department would eliminate calls for service to unverified alarm calls classified as audible alarm, or silent alarm, under the proposal. Vallejo police would continue to respond manually-activated panic alarms and silent robbery alarms.
