Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:51:09 GMT

A bizarre billboard supposedly paid for by parents trying to find a date for their son has recently captured the attention of drivers on some local highways. “Need a car?” the billboard asks. “‘Date’ our son.” Asked about the ad, some said they don’t know what to believe. “I think I’m naturally skeptical of ads with so much going on right now,” one person said. “I mean, if you’re in need, maybe it’s just good timing,” they added.The billboard continues, offering a reward in return for a “date.”“He’s smart but socially very shy,” the billboard says. “Bring him out of his shell before college. In exchange, we’ll give you a 2004 Buick Regal. Clean, rust free, 40k miles.”The billboard asks for “serious inquiries only” to an email address provided. 7NEWS reached out to the email. In response, the apparent parents said they’ve received many responses. They said they plan to make their final decision on Thursday. With all the attention the billboards are attra...

FOXBORO – Jonathan Jones wants to remain in New England as a member of the Patriots. But the veteran cornerback is well aware anything can happen in free agency.With the doors officially opening March 15, the 29-year-old isn’t sure what to expect.“There’s not much anxiety. You just take it in stride,” Jones said Wednesday after speaking with girls and mentors from Big Sister Boston at the Patriots Hall of Fame in honor of International Women’s Day. “It’s something new for me. I’ve never been through free agency. But I just have faith it’ll all work out in the end.”Listening to him, having it “work out” means he’ll be back in New England, a goal he repeated several times during the course of his appearance.“That’s the desire, to be back here.

State Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s nearly unprecedented announcement that her office has begun an audit of the state Legislature is not being met with applause.“Under the Massachusetts Constitution and as the separation of powers clause dictates, the Senate is required to manage its own business and set its own rules,” a spokesperson for Senate President Karen Spilka told the Herald.On Tuesday, DiZoglio, in keeping with a long-standing campaign commitment, announced the Office of the State Auditor had begun an audit of the House and Senate.“As I committed, my office has begun an audit of the state Legislature.

Ticker: When the shoe don’t fit; Feds launch Tesla investigations

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:51:09 GMT

Adidas is still wrestling with how to dispose of $1.3 billion worth of Yeezy shoes after its breakup with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West. The split forced the German sportswear maker into a big loss at the end of last year and expectations of more pain ahead.The company’s CEO said Wednesday that selling the popular line of shoes would mean paying royalties to Ye. He says destroying them could raise “sustainability issues,” while restitching them for resale “is not very honest.” Donating them would likely mean a resurgence of the shoes “so that’s not really an option.” The breakup helped drive the company to a net loss of 513 million euros in the fourth quarter.Feds launch Tesla investigationsU.S. safety regulators are turning up the heat on Tesla, announcing investigations into steering wheels coming off some SUVs and a fatal crash involving a Tesla suspected of using an automated driving system when it hit a parked firetruck.The National Highway Traffic S...
