  23-04-2024 19:56 via ocregister.com
  
  Tuli Tuipulotu was a revelation last season for the Chargers, a second-round draft pick from USC who became a menacing on-field presence and added depth behind veteran outside linebackers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack and, later, as a capable fill-in after Bosa suffered a significant injury.
  Off the field, Tuipulotu was respectful, surprising his older and more accomplished teammates by calling them “sir’ or “Mr.” when addressing them in training camp. He was an attentive lis

  A lot of work goes into making a household run smoothly, and the thread that runs through all the labor is money. It’s money that makes it possible to fix a broken appliance, enroll the kids in summer camp and save up to replace the aging car. The mental load of money can be heavy. It’s made up of those endless invisible tasks we engage in, and the future tasks we lie awake at night thinking about.

  Four years ago, when the Trump administration threatened to ban TikTok in the U.S., its Chinese parent company ByteDance Ltd. worked out a preliminary deal to sell the short video app’s business. Not this time.
  Once again, the U.S. government is aiming to shut down TikTok unless it’s divested from Beijing-based ByteDance. But the company has made clear it has no intention of selling. Indeed, TikTok’s management vowed in an inter

  A pro-housing group is challenging the viability of the state-approved housing plan filed by the city of Orange, saying the plan fails to show how more than 3,000 needed homes will get built on land where current deed restrictions allegedly forbid development.
  The litigation comes as the city is dealing with four “builder’s remedy” applications seeking construction of 696 new homes on non-residential sites in the city. Under the 1990 builder’s remedy provision, the d

  Such a panacea is the ill-advised attempt to recall Anaheim Council Member Natalie Rubalcava on June 4. Voters put her in office just 17 months ago with 58% of the vote. We certainly don’t agree with everything she’s said or done a

  As a health communications researcher specializing in vaccine hesitancy, the last few years in my field have been paradoxical. Vaccinations played a large part in ushering us into the post-pandemic world, yet a “misinfodemic” against vaccines persists. Misinformation about vaccines has eroded confidence in vaccines’ prevention promise and has inflicted even our progressive state of California. As of August 2023, about 73% of Californians have received the initial series of COVI
