Share: Reflecting on exactly one year ago, the disappointment from the election results for the US presidency was palpable across PCC’s campus. The heartbreak was there when Pasadena knew what President Trump’s win meant for the community, and what the coming year was going to look like with Project 2025 looming over everyone’s heads.

The best art pieces in the Louvre are the cameras
Share: On October 19th at 9:30 am, simply 30 minutes after the Louvre Museum in Paris had opened, a group of individuals conducted a heist estimated to be worth millions of dollars in under 7 minutes. For a museum with an accumulated net worth of billions of dollars in paintings, jewels, and artifacts they need to invest a small fraction of that into a better security system.

Stop being sore losers, the Dodgers dynasty is here
Share: The Dodgers won the World Series once again in an absolute battle throughout all seven games against the Blue Jays. As Dodger fans are parading and celebrating, others are speculating the Dodgers as cheaters and the organization as a group of wealthy people buying another World Series win. In all of the Dodgers World Series wins and appearances I have witnessed in my 19 years of life, this one has felt the most accomplishing. The only issue with winning is those who despise the …
Trump’s Shutdown Starves SNAP
Share: It’s been twenty days since the government shut its doors, and the consequences are growing harder to ignore.

This was reality for so many people in January of this year, but it was also a ChatGPT prompt by the man who is now facing trial after being accused of being responsible for starting the fire in the Pacific Palisades.

You would think that these two would show support —or at least some respect —for each other, being two prominent female figures in the industry; however, with Swift releasing her latest album, it’s clear it will never happen. Once again, to the public, the pop girlies are fighting, but digging deeper, it’s really just one pop girly making …
Victoria’s Secret Angels earn their wings the second time around
Share: The 2025 Victoria’s Secret fashion show is the second show in their new rebrand era, and the one thing that helped them be back on the map were fan-made edits of highlights from the show that flooded feeds. The company missed the mark yet again, not understanding that the glitz and glamour were not the issue. It was the portrayal of who got to be glamorous and glitzy. Trans women, women of color, plus-sized women, and disabled women wanted to be a part of …
