Do Chargers or Rams have a better chance to make the playoffs?
It’s important to vote for the individual candidates, rather than the parties they are in. In some cases, but the vast majority of my votes were for candidates of one party. I voted one party all down the ballot. I have always voted for one party and likely will continue to do so in the future. I did vote for the other party, but only when a candidate was uncontested.

Amazon shutting down Freevee, its free streaming service
Caroline Petrow-Cohen and Wendy Lee, Los Angeles Times (TNS)Two years after its launch, Amazon’s free ad-supported streaming service Freevee is shutting down, the company confirmed this week. Shows that play on the app will be available for free on Amazon’s Prime Video service even if a viewer does not pay for a subscription. The change comes about 10 months after Prime Video launched a lower-cost option for subscribers that included advertisements. Freevee originals, including the documentary-style comedy series “Jury Duty” and drama “Bosch: Legacy” are also available on Prime Video. While Amazon is doing away with Freevee, the model of free ad-supported streaming services remains promising as consumers look to limit discretionary spending, experts said.

LAUSD Overhauls $120 Million Black Students Program After Activists File Complaint
Sign up for The 74 NewsletterLos Angeles Unified has revised its leading effort to boost academic outcomes for Black students after conservative Virginia-based activists filed a civil rights complaint, charging the program uses race as a criteria for admission. The district’s $120 million Black Student Achievement Plan had a clear goal: lifting the academic performance of Black students, who trail behind other groups in assessments of reading and math, providing students extra tutors, and added training for their teachers. With broad support from LA Unified’s board, teachers and families, the program deployed counselors and social workers at roughly 50 schools, which together enrolled more about a third of the district’s Black students. And this year, the district’s Black students made gains on math and reading tests that outpaced those of other student groups. The district’s Black students also this year outscored Black students around the state on the annual exams.
