He’s playing with Japan because of his mother’s roots, the first non-Japan-born player chosen for the national team by ancestry.Hundreds now arrive at the Dome wielding pepper grinders, which has become his trademark with the Cardinals.

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:11:02 GMT

A controversial draft reparations proposal that includes a $5 million lump-sum payment for each eligible Black person could make San Francisco the first major U.S. city to fund reparations, though it faces steep financial headwinds and blistering criticism from conservatives.Tuesday's meeting of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will include a presentation by San Francisco’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which released its draft report in December.

Tank & the Bangas Barge into the Teragram: Genre-defying band Tank & the Bangas have just dropped new single “DM Pretty,” of which singer Tank Ball says, “I wrote ‘DM Pretty’ so that women could know that they are beautiful, dope, sexy, smart and obviously pretty.

McKinley Dixon also performs.Speaking to this writer in 2019, singer Tarriona Ball said, “We started in 2011 at an open mic night in New Orleans.
