She didn’t have any musical background as far as learning to play instruments prior, but she does come from a musical family.“I began going to shows with dance music as early as age 14, and concerts age the age of 8 or maybe even earlier,” she says. “My mom had taken me to a Green Day concert (my favorite band at the time—I owned every CD and could recite nearly all the words to every song), one for Earth, Wind and Fire, and an American Idol one as well! I feel like I’ve always been pretty open-minded when it comes to music, as I’ve also had a background of listening to and going to events that had punk / alternative rock, indie, electronica, R&B, hip-hop / rap, reggae, etc.—you can say ...

For the first time in decades, America has a new favorite dog breed — and it’s a controversial one

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:13 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time in three decades, the U.S. has a new favorite dog breed, according to the American Kennel Club.Adorable in some eyes, deplorable in others, the sturdy, flat-faced and distinctively droll French bulldog became the nation’s most prevalent purebred dog last year, the club announced Wednesday. Frenchies ousted Labrador retrievers from the top spot after a record 31 years.Why?“They’re comical, friendly, loving little dogs,” says French Bull Dog Club of America spokesperson Patty Sosa. City-friendly, with modest grooming and exercise needs, she says, “they offer a lot in a small package.”Yet the Frenchie’s dizzying rise — it wasn’t even a top-75 breed a quarter-century ago — worries its fans, to say nothing of its critics.The buzzy little bulldogs have been targeted in thefts, including last month’s fatal shooting of a 76-year-old South Carolina breeder and the 2021 shooting of a California dog walker...

Strengthen sideshow penalties by confiscating cars, readers suggest: Roadshow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:13 GMT

Q: You asked others to weigh in on how to deal with sideshows.Sideshows endanger participants, spectators and property. Who would pay for a track? Liability insurance? Forgetaboutit! Finding an acceptable location for a track would be impossible. Who wants noise, exhaust, traffic, unruly crowds? NIMBY!I agree that penalties are woefully inadequate. Seize vehicles, fine participants and spectators to pay for enforcement, and revoke licenses.There’s too much decriminalizing and too many unsafe, dangerous and destructive acts happening already.Darlene Brannen, San JoseA: Half those who responded to a reader’s recent suggestion that safe spaces be found for sideshows disagree with him, and half agree.Q: A recent sideshow beneath a freeway ramp in Pinole involved gunfire. There has been more than one sideshow staged on the Bay Bridge to get maximum publicity by inconveniencing as many people as possible. Some residential intersections near my home are repeatedly hit by late-n...

Biden Administration Splits on Prosecuting Russia for War Crimes in Ukraine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:13 GMT

Twenty years after the United States invaded Iraq — an act of aggression that paved the way for war crimes there — Pentagon officials have sought to block the Biden administration’s efforts to aid the International Criminal Court’s investigation of war crimes committed by Russia during its yearlong invasion of Ukraine.Neither the U.S. nor Russia are members of The Hague-based international court, whose jurisdiction includes war crimes and crimes against humanity. Ukraine is not a member either, but it has granted the court authority to investigate crimes committed on its territory. The U.S. government has long held a hostile stance toward the ICC, at first fighting to restrict its mandate and later fiercely opposing investigations into itself and its allies, including Israel. As The Intercept reported, the U.S. went to great lengths to derail an investigation of crimes committed in Afghanistan by U.S. forces and the U.S.-supported former Afghan government.The ICC’s inability to hold...

Fox’s Hall talks survival after nearly dying in Ukraine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:13 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A year after nearly being killed by Russian bombs while covering the war in Ukraine, Fox News’ Benjamin Hall credits a relentless optimism — and what he describes as an unexplained miracle — for getting him through.Truth is, it was probably several miracles that enabled Hall to sit in a cafe at Fox’s New York headquarters recently to discuss the book he’d written about his ordeal.There was the Ukrainian special forces officer driving by after the bombing who saw Hall’s wave and put him in a car, the lucky train ride from Kyiv to Poland, the 30 — and counting — surgeries he’s endured as he heals from the March 14, 2022, incident.No story compares with the voice he heard when the second of three bombs left him torn apart and blacked out. He swears it was his daughter, Honor, then at home in London with her mother and sisters Iris and Hero.The voice was insistent: “Daddy, you’ve got to get out of the car.” Hall obeyed, just befo...
