Share: This past Saturday the Lancers beat the Chaffey Panthers 21-19 to improve their record to an undefeated 4-0, handing the Panthers their first loss since November 12, 2022.

‘Megalopolis’ is a crime against humanity, but watch it anyway
Share: Drugs are bad kids, but if you’re Francis Ford Coppola, you take them to come up with something as batshit insane as “Megalopolis.” I can barely even bring myself to call “Megalopolis” a film. It is truly its own beast. I wouldn’t argue with anyone who thinks that this is the biggest piece of shit to ever come out in the history of cinema. If someone went into the cinema expecting “Megalopolis” to be the next “Godfather,” then they would be sorely disappointed. And …
Diddy’s arrest foreshadows the end of Hollywood as we know it

People, please pursue passion over practicality and prioritize personal pursuits
Share: It is only natural for people to flip and flop through various passions and hobbies during different phases through life. What causes people to switch their passions or to lose them even? One big reason could be the fact that many people from young ages are deterred from pursuing their passions to instead pursue something more “practical”. Websites such as Forbes have shared this perspective to some degree, arguing that “following your passion” is nothing more than a dead trope and “garbage advice”. The …
Idiot kicker’s stupid speech echoes the NFL’s history with toxic masculinity
Share: Harrison Butker is quite possibly the nation’s biggest idiot. No sane human being would stand in front of a room of college educated people and deliver a speech like that. Any sort of platformed human with a brain would be able to predict the national shitstorm that they’d face when beginning their commencement speech speaking of “bad leaders who don’t stay in their lane.” It’s been all over the news. All of his mentions about how women should be exclusively focused on becoming “homemakers”, …
No coach, no problem! PCC’s track throwers prove that ‘Pasadena is it’
Share: For the 2024 Track and Field season, the throwers on the track team didn’t have an official coach. This certainly presented some obstacles, but the resilient Lancers still excelled this season.

Before the season officially began, the throwers were informed that they would likely not have a permanent coach …
