Quick Glance: Chris Pratt draws criticism for demolishing historic 1950 LA home for expansive mansion

Chris Pratt has drawn criticism for demolishing a historic mid-century modern home to make room for a sprawling 15,000-sq-ft mansion, along with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger.

Designed by architect Craig Ellwood and landscaped by Garrett Eckbo, the property was previously owned by Hilda Rolfe, widow of Sam Rolfe, co-creator of The Man from Uncle.

The original home and its grounds were cleared to make space for a modern farmhouse-style residence, despite being potentially historic, leading to calls for preservation that went unheeded.

The destruction of the Zimmerman house was lamented by various organizations, highlighting the ongoing clash between preserving architectural heritage and new construction trends in the real estate market.

Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic

A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'

Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.

Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

Quick Glance: Record Attendance Achieved in NHL Season 2024

The National Hockey League announced on Monday that the single-season attendance record has been broken. A total of 22,560,634 fans have watched games in the regular season through Monday, filling arenas at 97 percent capacity, surpassing the previous record of 22,436,532 from the 2022-23 season.

For three seasons now, the league has consisted of 32 teams, including the Seattle Kraken. Games this season have been played in the 32 home arenas as well as in various stadiums worldwide, including Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, T-Mobile Park in Seattle, and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

A highlight was the game on February 18, where 79,690 spectators were present - the third-largest audience in NHL history, as the New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders at MetLife Stadium 6-5 in overtime.

The schedule still includes eight games on Tuesday, four on Wednesday, and six on Thursday to conclude the regular season.

Mom who threw 2 kids onto LA freeway, killing her infant, appeared agitated by impending eclipse

apnews.com/article/los-angeles-infant-freeway-homicide-investigation-eclipse-681f9434051fd80187677b2f67787b3a

Quick Glance: Mother Throws 2 Kids on L.A. Freeway: One Child Killed

A woman who fatally stabbed her partner in their Los Angeles apartment and then threw her two children from a moving SUV onto the freeway, resulting in the death of her infant daughter, had a background in astrology. In a prior online post, she referred to the upcoming solar eclipse as 'the epitome of spiritual warfare'.

Los Angeles police suspect that Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, utilized the persona 'Ayoka' as an astrology influencer and musician on X in the days leading up to the incidents.

The altercation between Johnson and her partner, 29-year-old Jaelen Allen Chaney, occurred around 3:40 a.m. in their Woodland Hills apartment. Following the stabbing of Chaney, Johnson fled with her children, an 8-month-old girl, and her 9-year-old sister, in a Porsche Cayenne.

Subsequently, Johnson drove on Interstate 405 in Culver City and discarded her daughters from the moving SUV around 4:30 a.m. The infant was declared deceased on the road, while the older daughter, who witnessed the attack, sustained moderate injuries.
