El Niño: what to know
Image credit: Fox Weather Everybody’s been talking about how bad El Niño will be this year, but does anyone really know how it will hit us here in Los Angeles? In case you didn’t know, El Niño is a weather pattern, which according to the National Ocean Service, happens every two to seven years. Of course, weather patterns are a force of nature and can’t be exactly predicted. Typically lasting 9 to 12 months, El Niño pushes warm, wet weather back towards Southern California,

Urban heat islands: rising temperatures and inequity
This summer was especially hot— from sweltering heatwaves in Paris to tropical humidity in California. While human-driven climate change is the primary factor of this heat, there’s a widely less understood contributor that works with climate change: the urban heat island effect. This phenomenon occurs when an urban area (the city) experiences much warmer temperatures than rural, undeveloped areas surrounding it. Because the sun reaches the city and rural areas the same way, t

Katseye’s Hootie Frutti is more than a $20 smoothie
Art by Rio Fisher Katseye’s newest single Hootie Frutti has been the subject of a lot of criticism regarding its strikingly chosen lyrics and unique music video, however, I would say that it is their best piece to date. As the third single from their EP Wild, Katseye’s highly socially aware management has produced a one-of-a-kind Marxist commentary on conflict theory. All their decisions, from the lyrics to the product placement, carefully create a social commentary on lat

Songs we couldn’t escape from this summer
Image Credit: The CU Tiger This summer we saw a myriad of new releases, filling our lives with music all the way, music every day, music like the 20 dollar smoothies in LA. Many songs were good, some were bad, but these were the top 5 tunes we couldn’t escape from this summer: DISCLAIMER: These songs were collected based on multiple charts from different streaming platforms and their frequencies on the radio. Other experiences may vary. Risk It All, Bruno Mars Produced by Bru

The hypocrisy of AI use by our school
Disclaimer: None of the posters in this article have been confirmed to be AI. Recently, Anthropic AI employee Jacob Coxon resigned from his job as a researcher, and took to Twitter with a note warning AI (Artificial Intelligence) users that the technology might be advancing faster than we think. Meanwhile, AI data centers are polluting the water and causing disturbances in the nearby towns and cities while businesses and companies defaulting to have AI take over more work are

My body your political battleground: OPED
Image Credit: Zadie Kang Enes Kanter wore a shirt with the dictionary definition of “woman” to a WNBA game claiming to be “protecting women and girls.” Sydney Sweeney wore two footballs over her breasts while advertising a sports gambling platform. Why do we appear to be evolving backwards? The female body has often been a point of political contention. Our bodies have always seemed to exist in the context of taboos, sex, and policing. They’ve been institutionalized, both as

Fast & Furious Review
Image Credit: Los Angeles Times Universal Studio’s Fast & Furious ride officially opened on September 16th, 2026, after years of waiting. Every time I went to the park (usually once or twice a year), I noticed minor additions to the giant pillars where the new roller coaster resides. On the Friday before Labor Day weekend, my family decided to make the occasional Universal Studios trip. Knowing that the park occasionally allows park goers to go on it for demo testing, I asked

The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore - Review
Art by Nyda Hosack Just a couple days ago, Taylor Swift announced that she’d be releasing 4 new bonus tracks to her most recent album The Life of a Showgirl. Produced by the same music masterminds that engineered many of her previous chart-toppers, Max Martin and Shellback’s production show promising potential for this album. When I opened Spotify to listen to the 4 new tracks, the songs weren’t playing because of the overload of listeners on the app! But after refreshing for

How did Converse miss this?
Credit: Converse This past week, the heritage shoe brand Converse has pulled its advertisement, which critics say has imagery reminiscent of a Ku Klux Klan robe and lynching. The ad has received substantial backlash for a valid reason--the unusual position of the lighting seems to depict a pointed KKK robe, and the placement of the black shoes evokes imagery of a hanging body. These symbols, though they might not have been purposeful, reminded many viewers of the atrocious, r

What does Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers mean for the MLB?
Credit: Yahoo Sports Disclaimer: Like many students who attend this school, I am a Dodgers fan. However, the purpose of this article is to inform readers about the effects of the Tarik Skubal trade without contributing any bias. There is always a random baseball fan in a small-market city that wishes their team could sign or trade for the biggest names in the sport. Pittsburgh Pirates fans wish their owner, Bob Nutting, would spend more to try and actually build a World Serie
