According to a report presented to the Los Angeles Police Commission on Tuesday, there were 15 anti-Asian hate crimes reported in the city in 2020, compared with seven in 2019, marking a 114% increase.

Nahnatchka Khan, who is behind the new #NBC series #YoungRock, says she gets feedback from @TheRock in an odd way.

@villarrealy reports latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
“His medium [for giving notes,] which I have never encountered before, is audio notes,” Khan says. “I’ve never had that. He’s the first person to do it. I love it from him. I always get excited. I’m like, 'Oh, voice memo from Dwayne.'”
latimes.com/entertainment-…
“He’ll give voice memos with his thoughts, a pitch or just like talking about stuff or whatever,” Khan adds. "He gave notes on scripts, gave notes on stories, on rewrites, he gives notes on cuts — he’s very much involved.”
