For 90 minutes, the understudies had their moment.

Mike Pence and Kamala Harris faced each other behind plexiglass partitions in a low-key debate that was peevish but generally polite.

Here are takeaways from tonight's #VPDebate: latimes.com/politics/story…
Kamala Harris was tough and firm, but didn’t exactly mop the floor with her Republican rival, @markzbarabak writes

latimes.com/politics/story…
@markzbarabak Pence’s heaviest lift may have been persuading Americans that he and the Trump administration have done a bang-up job on COVID-19, even as the president could plausibly be labeled a super-spreader of the virus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans latimes.com/politics/story…
@markzbarabak Pence repeatedly disregarded moderator Susan Page’s instructions, his voice low but insistent, speaking over his rival and ignoring the question he was asked latimes.com/politics/story…

Today would have been John Lennon's 80th birthday.

We're revisiting a 1980 article published weeks before his death.

Lennon talks about stress from the music industry and depression after separating from Yoko Ono latimes.com/entertainment/…
Lennon was known as the intellectual Beatle.

But Lennon revealed that even he believed he was headed for disaster before going into exile in 1975.

The pressure of delivering hits and advocacy was a heavy burden to bear latimes.com/entertainment/…
Lennon said his danger point was an 18-month “lost weekend” in the early 1970s.

Depressed by a separation from Ono, he spent time in LA on drugs and booze latimes.com/entertainment/… Image

Uber served CA users with a pop-up threatening that if voters failed to pass Prop 22, wait times & prices would increase, & drivers would lose their livelihoods.

To move forward, users had to tap the “confirm” button on the message.

@suhaunah reports: latimes.com/business/techn…
Prop 22 is a complicated and divisive initiative.

It represents gig economy companies’ efforts to avoid complying with AB 5, a CA law that requires they treat their workers as employees rather than independent contractors. latimes.com/business/techn…
Bankrolled heavily by Uber and Lyft, Prop 22 would carve out a new category of work for drivers, sparing the companies from paying for full benefits that employees receive. latimes.com/business/techn…
