At the start of the eighth inning of the Dodgers’ title-clinching win last night, Justin Turner unexpectedly left the game. After the game, news broke that Turner had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Who did Justin Turner interact with after the win? latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Turner didn’t celebrate with the team at first. When the final out was recorded, Turner was nowhere to be seen.

But about an hour after the game, Turner emerged and posed for pictures near the mound holding the Commissioner’s Trophy. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Turner greeted several people in the dugout with hugs, including players’ wives and longtime team photographer Jon Soo Hoo.

He and Kenley Jansen shared a hug. He later put one arm around Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

Reporter @mollymotoole spent more than three years reporting the story of a man from Nepal who died, then came back to life. Initially obsessed with solving the mystery of a resurrection, she found herself on a quest for a larger darker truth.
latimes.com/world-nation/s…
She found that Saudia Arabia’s push for modernization relies on a labor pipeline from South Asia to the Persian Gulf that reduces workers to expendable, indistinguishable bodies.
latimes.com/world-nation/s…
The workers, from Nepal, India, the Philippines, and across Asia, work under Saudi Arabia’s system of kafala. The legal status of migrant workers is tethered to employers. Rights groups, labor experts and international organizations call the system abusive and exploitative Image

SpaceX, having established a formidable reputation in rocket launches, is starting to roll out what it hopes will be an even more muscular arm of its business: broadband internet service.

@smasunaga reports: latimes.com/business/story…
A Texas school district and other local-government entities are already using the internet service. Now, the service is being offered to a select group of individual consumers.

Eventually, customers might include entire countries. latimes.com/business/story…
Under the test, initial service for the U.S. and Canada is aimed to start this year, with “near global coverage of the populated world” set to occur in 2021. latimes.com/business/story…

Mail-in ballots are pouring in by the millions to election offices across the country, getting stacked and prepared for processing.

But before the count comes the signature test. latimes.com/california/sto…
Election workers eyeball voter signatures on ballots one by one, comparing the loop of an “L” or the squiggle of an “S” against other samples of that person’s writing. Image
In an election marked by uncertainty, the signature verification process represents one of the biggest unknowns: whether a system riddled with vulnerabilities will work on such a massive scale. Image
