Passes, the Los Angeles-based creator platform, announced a comprehensive rebrand this week that repositions the company as a “creator accelerator” rather than a “creator monetization platform.” The move reflects a broader shift in the creator economy, where platforms are increasingly focused on helping individual creators build sustainable, long-term businesses rather than simply collecting subscription revenue. The rebrand introduces a new visual identity and updated logo but does not change the company’s fee structure or feature set. Passes charges creators a flat 10% platform fee and offers instant payouts. The company has raised $50 million in venture capital since its founding…

Picture a resident who eats the same meal every day and becomes visibly agitated when the schedule shifts. Someone who avoids the dining room during peak hours, speaks very directly in ways staff sometimes read as rude, and has never quite fit the usual patterns of aging. They may have lived eight decades without a formal autism diagnosis. For much of their life, their differences were explained away as personality, eccentricity, or stubbornness. That resident is increasingly showing up in RCFEs across California. Your team may be the first to recognize what’s actually going on. For Residential Care Facilities for…
In Los Angeles, confidence is currency. Whether you are building your career, growing your network, or simply navigating everyday life, how you feel about yourself often shapes the opportunities you pursue and the energy you bring into every room.

And somewhere in the back of your mind, a thought starts to form. Something is different. If you are in that place wondering whether what you are experiencing is real or just your imagination, we want to…

Hochman said. “Altering medical records to avoid duty is a calculated abuse of the system, a disservice to the youth in their care, and an…
If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle staring at rows of protein powders, you’re not alone. With dozens of options promising everything from “clean ingredients” to “premium quality,” it can be hard to know which ones actually live up to those claims. But recent findings are prompting more consumers to take a closer look at what’s actually in their scoop. In late 2025, an investigation into popular protein powders found that more than two-thirds contained detectable levels of lead. In some cases, a single serving exceeded what experts consider safe to consume in a full day. The study looked…
Wellness used to be something you scheduled. A doctor’s appointment. A facial. A new workout plan you promised to stick to. Increasingly, it’s none of those things. Today, the most meaningful shifts in health are subtle and seamlessly integrated. Wellness is becoming something that lives in the background of daily life, shaped by small, consistent choices rather than dramatic resets. From softer, more inviting clinical spaces to at-home treatments and hyper-specific sleep solutions, the modern approach to health is less about effort and more about ease. The goal is no longer to overhaul your lifestyle overnight, but to quietly improve…
