New research has revealed a connection between high lake levels and an increase in large earthquakes along the Southern San Andreas Fault. Despite the potential to produce a major earthquake, the southern pert of the fault has been relatively quiet for 300 years. A study published in the journal "Nature," looked at 1,000 years of history between lake levels and earthquakes in the area and found an 'astonishing' link. A computer simulation was able to replicate the link, which described a connection between high water level and pressure on tectonic plates. Live, local news from L.A.'s Very Own, KTLA 5
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon has announced his office will stop posting on Twitter, citing 'hateful conent' as the reason. In a post on Twitter, the official account posted a statement saying, “As a prosecutor’s office, we uphold the principles of justice, fairness and equality for all...The rise of unchecked vitriol targeting marginalized communities, false information, lack of community guideline enforcement or mechanisms to otherwise address these issues, has left us with no other choice.” The DA has received backlash from victim advocate groups and members of his own office who say he is too soft on crime. Response to the announcement on Twitter was overwhemlingly negative, with some saying he was prioritizing safe spaces on the internet over safety of the community.

An LGBTQ+ group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence attended the Anaheim Angels Pride Night game on Wednesday, following a personal invite from the mayor.
Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken invited the satirical ‘nun’ group to join her at the game following the group’s contention with the Los Angeles Dodgers back in May.
Based on their philanthropic work, the Sisters were slated to be honored with the Dodgers’ Community Hero Award at the ballclub’s Pride Night on June 16. The Dodgers, however, rescinded the invitation after receiving backlash from conservatives and Catholics who opposed the group’s use of Catholic imagery.
The Dodgers later reversed course on the controversial decision to disinvite the group and apologized while inviting them to be honored at the team’s 10th annual Pride Night.
