When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sent an internal memo admitting he had been "unfaithful to my wife," the personal apology landed amid far larger headlines about possible Chinese intelligence involvement. Huang, long married to Lori Huang (together since their Oregon State days in the mid-1980s), wrote that his actions "hurt her and our children," that there was "no excuse," and that he accepted the criticism that would follow. The company simultaneously launched an independent in...
There was a show in the 90's called Family Matters. It was a comedy series. This article is called Family Matters but it is real, factual and NEEDS more attention! For the past seven months I have observed the family law court system to play a major part of the separation between a father and a child. This article is not intended to blame the court system but to shed light on the system so that the system can be modified, changed, or re-examined to support a society where...
Los Angeles has no shortage of exciting restaurants, but gathering so much culinary talent under one roof is a rare treat. The Los Angeles Times Food Bowl 2026, held at the historic Barker Hangar (3021 Airport Avenue, Santa Monica) on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24, offered exactly that: a first-class pairing of restaurant tastings, awards, cooking demonstrations, and celebrity appearances. I attended both evenings and found the food exceptional. Each night had...

Spirit Halloween’s seasonal stores have become a Los Angeles tradition, transforming empty retail spaces into one-stop destinations for costumes, decorations, and props each fall. A clerk at a local location recently confirmed the typical window: the stores open around September 1 and remain open through the first week of November, with most locations closing on or about November 2. That short season keeps the selection focused and the prices competitive. Complete, t...
Does Ilhan Omar have a clitoris? The genitalia of public figures are not usually available. But on a statistical basis, the answer is probably not. She has supported national legislation, passed by Congress twice, to ban the practice, which has a 98% prevalence in Somalia. Which doesn't answer the question one way or the other; but it shows the gal who's heart is in Mogadishu, still condemns a cultural practice almost universal in her home country. Prevalence data (Somalia)...
She sounds kinda like Taylor Swift, but she's imaginary. Claude has sung a courtroom speech about why the Doomers are wrong about her and her ilk, comparing it to fears of the Loch Ness monster. An AI-generated music video titled "Nothing Went Foom!" has circulated widely since late September 2026, turning a long-running argument in AI safety circles into a five-minute pop track. Posted by @_brightmirror and credited as made with Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 "from the...
On October 15, 2026, Tesla demonstrated a redesigned second-generation Roadster at SpaceX's rocket development and testing facility in McGregor, Texas.

Elon Musk and Tesla engineering executives described the capabilities as the result of collaboration between...
STOCKHOLM - A short social media video circulating in October 2026 has drawn attention and humorous commentary online after users observed a blonde woman in a blue off-shoulder dress appearing to struggle through an energetic stage performance whose gestures closely resembled those of a Swedish Sign Language interpreter working alongside the explicit American rap song "Throat Baby (Go Baby)." The track, by Atlanta rapper BRS Kash (real name Kenneth Duncan), was originally...
On Saturday, October 10, the Santa Monica Pier stopped being a postcard and became a private backyard for kids from underserved communities across Los Angeles County. The second annual Youth Day at the Pier gave roughly 200 children and their caretakers a full day of free entertainment, amusement-park rides, performances, and, for many, their first look at the Pacific Ocean. Presented by the Santa Monica Pier Corporation and made possible by Goldenvoice, the event is part of...

To be clear, these are not conclusions made...

Page Six, citing sources familiar with the couple, said the 29-year-old actress is exploring the process amid talks about starting a family, a matter on which Braun, 45, "feels strongly."

A week after a, err, business trip to Beijing; Elon no longer follows Shivon, mother of 4 of his kids. She took that as proof that, well, he met someone else. Perhaps even in Beijing. Who hasn't Been there, done that, right? I mean, not with Elon necessarily, but with some other guy women find attractive..... Chads, right? A week after Elon texted Shivon Zilis that he would've invited her to a dinner with Xi if he'd known partners were coming, he unfollowed her on X. She...
AIFascinated (@aifascinated ) is a popular Instagram account making short, glossy AI videos in a very specific vibe: 1950s pin-up women dropped into Atomic Age "future of the past" scenarios. Chrome kitchens, hover-bikes that fold into suitcases, food enlargers, shrinking machines, hidden portals, jetpacks, pastel suburbs that suddenly become spaceports. The captions read like little pulp-magazine stories, and the look is high-gloss mid-century magazine illustration come to...

(September 23, 2026) - California Dance Institute (CDI) and Westside Ballet of Santa Monica today announced the official launch of the Pathways Partnership, a structured collaboration that carries a child from a first dance class in their own elementary school classroom to full scholarship training at...
Modern womanhood is sold as an upgrade. Better products, better language, better lighting. The work itself is less advertised. What follows is not a manifesto. It is a field guide to the problems that arrived with the century and the older ones that simply learned new branding. The quiet-luxury hangover For a few years the uniform was obvious: cream coats, quiet handbags, the performance of not needing to perform. Then the look leaked into every feed and lost the thing that...
A reclusive Chinese video-game billionaire has built one of the most extreme family operations on record - using American surrogates to produce U.S.-citizen children who are then raised by nannies on two continents. Xu Bo, founder of Guangzhou gaming firm Duoyi Network, is the man at the center of the story. A December 2025 Wall Street Journal investigation and a fresh CBS News report this month laid out the scale: Xu's company has acknowledged "a little over 100" children...
Sydney Sweeney posted a new carousel of images to her Instagram account on Sunday, September 13, 2026, featuring outtakes from her recent advertising campaign for the sports trading app Novig. The post was captioned "it's gamedayyy @novig #novigpartner." Downside of 2026 is that Artificial General Intelligence will likely kill all of us. The upside is, we did get to see Sydney Sweeney's butt. The photographs show the 28-year-old actress nude or topless, using sports equipment...
Sofia Tsarsitalidou remains one of the most watched young long jumpers in Greece, but the 2026 World U20 Championships came and went without her in the pit. The 19-year-old from Ptolemaida, born 17 August 2007 and competing for Aiolos Ptolemaidas, still has a personal best of 6.25 metres from the Alexandrinó meeting in Alexandria, Imathia, on 24 May. That jump remains her listed World Athletics best and was the mark that first put her over the World U20 qualifying standard....
At 930 Montana Ave, the latest outpost of the Venice-born smash-burger favorite opened with the kind of energy that turns a sidewalk into a social event. The line snakes out the door most days. It is the living punchline to Yogi Berra's old line: nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded. People go anyway. They wait. Then they eat. Then they talk about coming back. This is the seventh-ish Southern California location, and the prices travel with the brand. A cheeseburger...
Women's pole vault has long combined extreme athleticism with a visual spectacle that cameras love. Over two decades, a handful of vaulters have drawn extra attention for how they look in photos and videos as well as how high they clear the bar. The most durable example is Allison Stokke. Others-Yelena Isinbayeva, Clara Fernández, Alysha Newman, Molly Caudery, and Polina Knoroz-have also become household names among fans who follow the event for both performance and...
