The new look incorporated many important elements for the district, such as the El Palo Alto redwood tree the area is named for. The next step involved updating the district’s website. Previously, the site was hosted on a platform that was difficult to use, which created a bottleneck in the IT department when only a single staff member knew how to make site updates. This also resulted in various groups and departments making their own websites, rather than waiting for a webpage on the main site. “We ended up with a forest of content and an alphabet soup of unmemorable URLs,” Patanroi…
Jenna Ortega stars as Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series ‘Wednesday.’ (Courtesy of Netflix) Premiering the day before Thanksgiving, Netflix’s Wednesday is a big hit. We’re talking bigger than Stranger Things here, making Tim Burton’s Addams-family series the record-holding English-language program on the streaming platform for its debut week. And it’s a Latinx show! That’s pretty significant because we’ve become accustomed to cancelations. You know, when something like HBO’s Gordita Chronicles earns strong viewership numbers, gets rave critical reviews, and meets the network’s stated goal of creating more Latinx content—and they still cancel it. But Wednesday seems destined for a different…

Occasionally there comes along a cultural artifact so peculiar that adequate vocabulary does not yet exist to describe it. That was certainly the case with HBO’s “Los Espookys,” a program whose narratives so effectively eschewed Hollywood convention that even its authors had a tough time coming up with an elevator pitch.On an interview on “The Tonight Show” in September, co-creator Ana Fabrega glossed it as “a show about a group of friends who have a business where they stage different types of stunts to people who need it.” Fellow co-creator, comedian Julio Torres, explained on NPR that the friends live…
DJUSD Area 1 has found its Trustee in none other than Hiram Jackson.

Gakpo, just 23 years old, has made this World Cup his, bagging a goal in each of his three appearances. The PSV man, who has been regularly linked with some of Europe’s top sides, has…
