Actor Kevin Bacon is reacting to the news that a Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, pig with whom he shares a name has been on the run for weeks, KTLA sister station WHTM reports.In a Threads post over the weekend, the Golden Globe-winning actor, who is also a Pennsylvania native, said "Bring Kevin Bacon home." According to owner Chelsea Rumbaugh, the pig Kevin Bacon escaped on Oct. 14, less than 24 hours after he arrived at his new home with the family.He's returned home several times for food but hasn't been caught despite daily attempts by Rumbaugh and neighbors.“He kept looking up and seeing me. But every time previous, he would just run when he saw a person,” Rumbaugh said. “Anytime we have a positive interaction and he walks away instead of running away, that’s good. In our book, that means he still feels safe here.”Positive interactions and feeling safe at Rumbaugh’s home go beyond pigs — yes, plural. She and her husband, Mike, have three other piglets among 17 animals in all at their...Chxrry22 is Your Favorite Girl

Chxrry22 is Your Favorite Girl: Rising R&B star Chxrry22 has released a new EP called Siren which is positively bursting with quality pop-soul tunes. The focus track, and our favorite (appropriately enough), is “Favorite Girl” featuring Offset.The song is described in the press release as, “a flowing, bass-driven song about yearning to be someone’s favorite person that finds the renowned rapper opening up about what it means to love someone wholeheartedly. Don’t let her yearning fool you.”“I’ve always been drawn to women with a dominant energy, and I don’t know why,” Chxrry22 says. “It’s probably because I was always trying to find myself in them. Let me be clear, I don’t want to only be known for being beautiful, but if that’s what makes you pay attention, then I’ll use it to my advantage.”“You could have anyone and I’d still be the girl you’d choose,” Chxrry22 sings, displaying an admirable and understandable level of...Can Your Dog Take CBD Treats? — Dog Breeds & CBD Oil
Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 19:33:20 GMT
CBD dog treats have become a staple product in the pet industry. Now that pet owners know the distinctions between CBD and THC, they seem more comfortable feeding their dogs a dose of hemp extract. Indeed, many financial analysts believe the CBD pet supplement market could be one of the most lucrative niches in the hemp industry.Although CBD appears to be a popular choice with all dogs, some people are curious whether hemp works better with certain breeds. Is there a “best in show” dog breed that reacts most favorably to CBD supplements?What Dog Breeds Could Most Benefit From CBD Oil?Firstly, there’s no “ban” against using CBD for certain dog breeds. As long as you’re vet gives you the “green light,” you can feed your dog high-quality pet-approved CBD supplements.However, it’s more likely CBD will be beneficial if your dog breed is susceptible to inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Many animal studies suggest CBD has impressive anti-inflammatory properties. Ind...Roadkill for supper? How a Bay Area tech worker went back to the Stone Age

When former Silicon Valley marketer Jessica Carew Kraft picked up a smelly dead fox from the side of U.S. 101, she knew she was on her way to the new life that beckoned from thousands of years in the past.She was returning to the Bay Area from Santa Barbara after a weekend workshop that taught survival and subsistence skills such as making food, clothing and tools out of animals — including roadkill.“When it materialized on the roadside, I had no plan,” Kraft writes in her new book “Why We Need to Be Wild.” “It was more like the fox grabbed me, offering the opportunity to transform myself, which I desperately wanted to do.”Arriving home with her daughters, she stashed the critter’s corpse in the garage after swearing the girls, 7 and 9, to secrecy. Her husband, a lawyer, supported her initial explorations into a more primitive, nature-connected life, but only to a point.In order to skin the fox, she snuck into the garage on a pretext, ...NFC playoff outlook: 49ers hit the wall before bye, with nine games left to play

Look out below!The 49ers dropped from No. 1 to No. 6 in the conference standings, the result of falling a half-game behind the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West.With both games remaining on the schedule against Seattle, it is within the 49ers’ power to wind up winning the division and the guess here is they will regardless of a three-game losing streak heading into the bye.Yet this nugget from coach Kyle Shanahan Monday was more than a little alarming:“What sticks out on tape to me the most is just how slow and tired we looked,” Shanahan said on a conference call. “When that happens, it leads to bigger holes, it leads to more mistakes, it leads to more missed tackles. I could see on tape a different type of energy that was disappointing, but I also know that they need this rest. That showed the most.”The 49ers hit the wall after eight games. Their coach came out and said it. After the bye, nine games remain. I’m not great with math, but that’...Walters: Gavin Newsom’s trip to Israel and China tinged with hypocrisy

So what should Californians glean from their governor’s global gallivanting last week?We learned that Gavin Newsom won’t let tinges of hypocrisy impede his obsession with becoming a national, or even international, political figure.Newsom’s hastily arranged first stop was in Israel, where he spent a day commiserating about the bloody assault by Hamas terrorists. His visit included a chat with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, some conversation with victims’ families about living with the constant threat of violence, and watching a video that depicted the carnage.“The worst part about it — the actual video, I saw heads, beheaded people, their bodies, lay there, dead. To see someone’s eyes and mouth being poked to see if they were alive, to find out they were alive after being shot on the ground,” he said later. “It connects to an understanding of the emotion of the Israelis about the atrocities that occurred, and about the 1,400 lives lost.

By MICHAEL R. BLOOD | AP Political WriterLOS ANGELES — Politicians have long sought to project vitality, youth and a common touch by staging photo shoots spotlighting their athletic prowess. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is the latest to find out that plans for a confident jump shot can turn into a torrent of online potshots.On a trip to China, the two-term Democrat took a detour from his official meetings on climate change to join a group of Beijing schoolkids for a game of basketball. Before long, he was on his backside after accidentally steamrolling a grade-school defender.No one was injured, but Newsom joins a long line of political figures whose attempts at a sporty glamour shot didn’t work out as planned.
