Now, with a slew of coronavirus safety adjustments, the Anaheim #Disneyland parks are finally welcoming back their fans #disneylandopening (📸 @rgaut999) latimes.com/business/story… ImageImageImageImage
In the 66-year history of #Disneyland, the theme park has been shut for extreme circumstances only a few times — President Kennedy's assassination, for example — but before the pandemic in March 2020, none of those closures lasted longer than one day latimes.com/business/story…
But it's finally back (with some precautions):

• #Disneyland park attendance is capped at 25 percent capacity

Turmoil has gripped the leadership ranks of the California National Guard, with the firing of one general, the suspension of a second general and new limits placed by Gov. Newsom on the organization’s use of fighter jets for civilian missions.

Thread👇
latimes.com/california/sto…
The abrupt actions against the two generals mark the second major shake-up in California’s Military Department in as many years.
latimes.com/local/lanow/la…
The moves came on the heels of a Times report that Guard members were concerned that their leaders had readied an F-15C fighter jet last year for a possible mission in which the aircraft would fly low over civilian protesters to frighten and disperse them. latimes.com/california/sto…

Entertainment industry professionals opened up to us about the group behind the Golden Globes.

Here's what they had to say about the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn (HFPA).

Via @StacyPerman latimes.com/entertainment-…
One publicist recounted the time their client, a mature male actor, was asked during an HFPA news conference, “’At your age do you still have sex?’ I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
"Our clients have endured racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia. We can no longer just shake our heads in disbelief,” Cindi Berger, chairman of R&CPMK, said. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image

#HFPA, behind #GoldenGlobes, promised to do better after a Times investigation prompted an outcry across the industry & cast a shadow across the awards show.

But its attempts to meet that pledge have sputtered badly, amplified by a series of missteps

latimes.com/entertainment-…
A group of 100+ powerful publicists representing the majority of entertainment talent and artists signed a blistering letter warning the HFPA that they would withhold access to their clients if the organization did not take significant steps to change.

latimes.com/entertainment-…
Publicists reflected on the advice they’d given clients about dealing with HFPA members over the years.

“Our clients have endured racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia. We can no longer just shake our heads in disbelief.”

When it came time for USC to compensate two different women who were sexually assaulted by a campus doctor for their injuries, one reached a settlement expected to total about $1.2 million.

The other was awarded less than $200,000.

latimes.com/california/sto…
USC’s $1.1 billion in settlements was the largest sex-abuse payout in education history.

Behind the jaw-dropping numbers, however, lies a lopsided economic landscape that has left some exuberant and others feeling bruised and cheated.

latimes.com/local/californ…
A year and a half ago, those former patients had to make a choice between two legal pathways: a federal class-action settlement promoted by USC or gamble on individual lawsuits in state Superior Court.
