LIL DURK EOD UPDATE Taylor Parise⬇️ Christy O'Connor for the defense argued that the prosecution "put great weight" into a DJ Akademiks interview in which Lil Durk commented on "slide of Von" posts stopping after the death of Saviay'a Robinson. The defense called the prosecution's use of the clip "not fair," arguing the video was a "tailored statement,” filing a motion for an additional clip to be admitted to provide context to the prosecution’s clip. The defense's motion has been denied and additional footage will not be admitted. "The frustration here is that you didn't get to comment on it," the judge told the defense. "But somebody has to go last."

LA photographer Richard Podgurski Jr. was taking a nap Monday evening when a friend woke him up and told him he was “blowing it” by not capturing the rainbow outside. Richard jumped up, loaded a charged battery and empty memory card into his drone and launched it just north of the Manhattan Beach Pier. The rainbow was so massive he couldn’t fit the entire arc into a single frame, so he used a series of panning shots to capture it.

LAUSD is losing students at an extraordinary rate — but the bigger question is: where are all the kids going? Nearly 17,000 students disappeared from LAUSD enrollment in just one year, a 4.5% drop. And compared to two decades ago, enrollment is down roughly 43%. But this isn’t simply a story about families choosing private, charter or home schools. Los Angeles has fewer children. Birth rates are falling, the cost of living is pushing families out, and the district is getting smaller.

Los Angeles Magazine got a firsthand look at what animal rescuers say is happening on Skid Row. We followed a team of animal welfare advocates as they attempted to bust an alleged illegal breeder caught on undercover video trying to sell puppies for $100. What unfolded took us from the streets of Skid Row to a Los Angeles home where dogs could be seen inside — and offered a glimpse into a much larger problem advocates say is getting worse: dogs being neglected, abused, bred for profit, sold and even exposed to dangerous drugs. Federal authorities are now offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the successful prosecution of animal abusers under federal law.
