Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal discusses on NPR's All Things Considered how further U.S. aid would make a difference on the front lines, and the state of the war in general.

The state law requires any records showing discrimination by law enforcement be released to the public. The questions remains: is the public seeing everything it should? Then, Amtrak weekend services returned on Saturday for the first time since operations were suspended in October to repair a section of track along the San Clemente coast that was damaged during a storm surge. Next, California just enacted a law that requires employers to post the pay range of jobs they’re seeking applicants for. But does making salaries public empower low wage workers, or does it just put privacy at risk? And, when storms battered California last month, the streets of Planada became rivers. Hundreds of homes flooded and the whole town was evacuated. Now people in this rural Central Valley community are trying to put their lives back together.

From the organizers: Glüme was born & raised in Los Angeles underneath the Hollywood sign. As a child actor, dancer, & singer, she got her start early on Broadway at the age of 6. She grew up leading a life fit for a film; full of magic & tragedy. After being diagnosed with Prinzmetal disease, she found a lane of her own while recording music at home. As a solo artist, she is happy to be here telling her stories & making art that she hopes can help people find their way over the rainbow. Her sophomore album is out on Valentine's Day 2023 featuring collaborations with Rufus Wainwright, Sean Ono Lennon, STRFKR, Of Montreal, & Johnny Jewel. Twin Ritual is influenced by Synth-pop, Post- Punk and Indie. They deliver upbeat drums, swirling synths, pulsing bass, driving guitar hooks, and dreamy female vocals, the band’s members include Laura Levenhagen (vocals/synth), Anthony Ramirez of Glass Spells (bass/synths), Antonio Estrada (guitar), Michael Buehl (drums). "There is an easy comparison to artists such as Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and most certainly All About Eve with the band’s strong female lead, but Twin Ritual’s sound is more power-pop driven than their predecessors, with hints of The Killers, Interpol, and Editors snuck in there." - Post-Punk.com This is a 21+ event

Stuntman-turned director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves are still raising the bar on action.

Local playwright, Connie Terwilliger comes to The Lamplighters Community Theatre for the world premiere of her play, Silkworms. Three generations of strong women growing together in love and wisdom. Connie Terwilliger is known for her acting and voice over work in San Diego. She has performed several times at The Lamplighters Theatre, as well as many other community theatres in San Diego. She has written a play and we have the honor of being the first theatre to put it up on stage. Her story is of 3 generations of strong women whose struggles for love and the beauty of life play out in different ways. The grandmother, an immigrant with the wisdom of age. The daughter, driven to achieve perfection at the expense of love and happiness. The granddaughter, much like her mother, striving to find balance. This story is mostly true, the names have been changed to protect the innocent. It is clearly autobiographical, featuring a younger Connie, her mom and her grandmother. Much of her grandmother's dialog was taken from a two-hour cassette tape that her mother asked her to record. You will be able to relate, rejoice, share regret, and celebrate with the characters. You will leave with a warmth in your heart and a grin on your face, which we can all use a lot of these days. Gioia de vivere! It's time to live...to love!

Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings. It launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’ initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe, healthy and thriving communities. Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between. Each movie event gives residents a reason to visit their local parks after dark, deterring inappropriate loitering and park use, and bringing additional safety and security to residents’ favorite locales. Events begin as early as 5 p.m., though actual movie start times are 15 minutes after sunset. Before the movie, many locations provide additional entertainment like arts and crafts, games, costume contests, music, dancing and food trucks. FAQ: What should I bring? Plan to bring chairs or blankets for your comfort. Chairs are not provided at any of our events. Also, feel free to pack a picnic and enjoy your meal under the stars! Some locations will have food available, so check the Event Specifics section of each location and date for more details. Bring a sweater or light jacket – it will cool down once the sun sets. What if it rains? In the event of rain or high winds a movie may be canceled. If it rains on the day of the movie you’re planning to attend, please contact the Parks & Recreation office to get up-to-date information on possible cancellations. Contact information for each location is in the Event Specifics section of each scheduled movie. Can I bring my dog? Many parks allow dogs as long as they remain on leash. Rules are typically listed on community boards or kiosk signs – but you may also call to confirm. Always keep a close eye and clean up after your pet. Where can I park? Most locations have ample parking or quick access to public transportation. We encourage you to check the Event Specifics section of the movie you plan to attend to see if there are any specific notes on parking.
