When the referee threw the ball up to start the Pasadena City College (PCC) men’s basketball season against San Diego Mesa College, three of the five Lancers on the floor were donning the Pasadena jersey for the first time. Such a presence of newcomers is common among two-year programs like PCC’s, but the team’s most noteworthy debutant stood near the end of the bench. He is Marshall Johnson, the new head coach.

As the DC Universe continues to expand, “Clayface” serves as the newest entry, introducing the disturbing titular villain to audiences for the first time in a live-action film. Director James Watkins delivered Clayface’s portrayal by providing the character a tragic yet evil backstory, creating a horror-esque feel throughout the movie with its body horror and bone-chilling gore. This darker stylistic decision shifts the superhero genre into a twisted but appealing direction that fans haven’t seen in James Gunn’s and Peter Safran’s DCU.

A pen held to paper – inhale, exhale – release everything in your mind. Then your hand takes off, racing through the lines and unleashing all that has been building up like a weight pressing down, ever steady. The pen hits the paper, seeming to say, “Let it go. Let it all go.” You finally feel relief as the words start to flow and, slowly, ever so slowly, that weight fades away.

Due to the decline in viewership and the company’s bankruptcy, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’s budget has been sadly cut, and production has scaled down to a smaller size. These past few years, they tried to bring back a new, refreshed look to the show, but did not make the comeback they wished for. So, to save face this year, they brought back the legendary Fantasy Bra and gave the honor to the one and only Kylie Jenner.

It is completely understandable that the Trump administration did not fact-check Katie Zacharia’s resume or credentials, as they are the most incompetent administration in history. It was an embarrassing series of events for Zacharia in just the span of 5 days, but the ones who should actually feel embarrassed is the White House who let her take the job as press secretary of the United States.

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar is just the newest victim of President Donald Trump’s relentless attack against citizens who don’t fit his ideas of what a ‘real American’ looks like. Homeland Security raiding Omar’s home, accusing her of committing immigration fraud and threatening to deport her not only reeks of this administration’s bias against immigrants but also of the Islamophobia that has plagued this nation for far too long.
