My latest City News Service story. kfiam640.iheart.com/featured/la-lo…

@depressionlesss Does anyone have more details on this?

She is not a girl, she is a Queen 👸

This brought me joy.

@jillpainter Could it have been chasing a roadrunner?

Wiley coyote thought he had a snack…turns out it’s …

@cloudklout @CohenSite I don't believe that. What are examples of sundown towns in the deep South now?

@StevenHerbert @CohenSite It never did, there’s still sundown towns in the deep south to this day (just not Miami Beach anymore)

I don't think many people know that Miami Beach was a sundown town. When my grandfather died, we found his "working card" If you weren't white (they didn't consider jews white), and you were on Miami Beach after dark, you better have a working card or you'd be arrested.

@myacatt51 @CohenSite Thanks for letting me know.

@StevenHerbert @CohenSite In 1949 when Florida legislature passed a law that officially ended discrimination in real estate across the state, including Miami Beach. Before that, Jewish folks were limited to buying south of 5th street.

@DRBFNYorg @WiltStats This isn't Game 7. This is at The Forum where Games 3, 4 and 6 were played. Game 3 is the one West made his long shot to send the game into overtime. I attended Game 4.

@WiltStats Barnett was a hell of a defender. Had to defend the toughest guard every night. Shut down West best you could here in Game 7.

Offensive foul called on Jerry West during the 1970 NBA Finals.

In a funny incident in Thailand, a pet cat returned home after being missing for three days… but with a surprise “debt note” hanging from its neck! 😄 The cat came back well-fed and in great shape. Attached to its neck was a note that read: “Your cat was staring at the mackerel at my stall, so I gave it three. Auntie May – Alley No. 2.” She also added her phone number so the owner could get in touch… and settle the debt 😂

@BillieJeanKing @TheVinScully @Dodgers What man. He once held the door between the press box dining room and the press box open for me.

On this day in 1950, @TheVinScully called his first @Dodgers game. He continued calling games for the Dodgers for a record-setting 67 years, longer than any broadcaster with a single team in professional sports history. Vin passed away in August 2022. His legacy lives on.

@VinnysCorner1 Dave Kingman. I remember when he hit three home runs and drove in eight runs. As Tommy Lasorda said when he was asked his opinion of Kingman's performance, "He put on a helluva of show."

Without saying Sammy Sosa. Ryne Sandberg, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo or Fergie Jenkins, name a Cub….

@RestrictedDaily Who are the Oakland Raiders?

A lot of people think they know this era… until they see a question like this. Final Jeopardy is up — category: Super Bowl history. If you miss it, repost it and keep it moving.

@mbrody44459507 @calpostbbolch He hasn't been convicted of anything. He was the top donor.

@calpostbbolch "wasserman " why didn't they remove this dbag's name

Gary Beban, The Great One, back at UCLA.

@RestrictedDaily What year was this in?

I swear everybody’s got this… until they don’t. Final Jeopardy is up. Don’t think too long, just go with it.

@DKonopacki97757 @RestrictedDaily x.com/CinOvation/sta…

@RestrictedDaily I got it right. Boy, that’s an old Jeopardy. Looks like 80’s hairstyles on the gals.

In 1960, a quiet woman at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was handed a routine file. It was for a drug already sold in nearly 50 countries—a sedative called thalidomide, widely marketed as safe for pregnant women. Most people would have signed off. Frances Oldham Kelsey didn’t. New to the FDA, she noticed something others had overlooked—or ignored. The data was thin. Reports of nerve damage were buried. The safety claims felt… too clean. While the pharmaceutical company pushed aggressively for approval, sending repeated requests and mounting pressure, Kelsey held her ground. She asked for more studies. Then more. And more. Behind the scenes, the pressure wasn’t subtle. Drug companies expected quick approvals. Delays meant lost profit. For a young female reviewer in a male-dominated system, saying “no” wasn’t just professional resistance—it was personal risk. She was challenging an industry that wasn’t used to being challenged, especially not by a woman. Then the truth surfaced. Across Europe, thousands of babies were being born with devastating deformities—missing limbs, malformed organs—traced back to thalidomide taken during pregnancy. It became one of the worst medical disasters of the 20th century. Because Kelsey refused to approve it, the United States was largely spared. Her skepticism saved countless lives. In 1962, she was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service by John F. Kennedy—one of the highest honors a civilian could receive. But her impact didn’t stop there. Her stand forced sweeping changes in drug regulation, leading to stricter testing requirements and proof of efficacy before approval. The system became safer because she refused to bend. She didn’t shout. She didn’t grandstand. She simply refused to compromise when it mattered most. And that’s what made her dangerous—in the best possible way. © Women In World History #archaeohistories
