Brett Feldman is one of the few survivors in the legacy Los Angeles cannabis market, and now he’s giving some of the genetics that helped fuel Wonderbrett to the world.We ran into Feldman by chance last weekend at Storz and Bickel’s launch party for the Venty. In front of Feldman sat a collection of his newest heaters and a few classics.

But with the way Wonderbrett set up,” Feldman said, “I wasn’t gonna get what I felt was fair out of it.”Feldman explains ByrdSeed to Leafly Senior Editor David Downs.Essentially when Feldman expanded Wonderbrett, the tracks were laid in a certai...

With Thanksgiving over, you might start to see more cars topped with Christmas trees hitting the streets.The day after Thanksgiving is a “busy, busy day” for Jerry, the “fresh-cut guy,” running the chain saw at Butler’s Orchard farms in Montgomery County, Maryland.“I love it out here, this is the best time of year for us.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets were back in the game after forcing another turnover by the Dolphins. And they were feeling lucky.Then it all went wrong with one failed Hail Mary.After D.J. Reed intercepted Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa to give New York the ball at its 49 with 2 seconds left and trailing 10-6, Jets coach Robert Saleh opted to have Tim Boyle launch a pass into the end zone instead of taking a knee.“I put it on me,” Saleh said.Boyle’s throw was picked off by Jevon Holland, who snagged it at the 1 and took off down the field, weaved his way past some would-be Jets tacklers — including Boyle — and took it in untouched for a 99-yard interception return.It was the turning point in the Jets’ 34-13 loss in the NFL’s first game played on Black Friday.“I’ve never really seen or been a part of anything like that,” Boyle said. “But it’s a good learning experience.
