Maybe you’ve noticed.April 20, or 4/20, is known as “Weed Day” in some circles because the date corresponds with a numerical code for marijuana.Yes, it seems arbitrary. So how did the number 420 come to represent smoking pot?First, let’s get the myths and rumors out of the way:The legend of the California penal codeSome claim the number is drawn from the California criminal codes used to punish the use or distribution of marijuana. But the state’s 420 code actually applies to obstructing entry on public land. So, not quite.But the rumor sounds a lot like …The legend of the police radio codeNeither the Los Angeles Police Department nor the New York Police Department even have a code 420. San Francisco Police have one, but it’s for a “juvenile disturbance.”So never mind that theory.Then there’s …The legend of the Bob Dylan songThis one is a nod to Dylan̵...

House passes a ban on trans athletes on women’s, girls teams

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:12:53 GMT

By Kevin Freking | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male would be barred from competing on girls or women’s sports teams at federally supported schools and colleges under legislation pushed through Thursday by House Republicans checking off another high-profile item on their social agenda.The bill approved by a 219-203 party-line vote is unlikely to advance further because the Democratic-led Senate will not support it and the White House said President Joe Biden would veto it.Supporters said the legislation, which would put violators at risk of losing taxpayer dollars, is necessary to ensure competitive fairness. They framed the vote as supporting female athletes disadvantaged by having to compete against those whose gender identify does not match their sex assigned at birth.Opponents criticized the bill as ostracizing an already vulnerable group merely for political gain.The House action comes as at least 20 other st...
