Colin Kaepernick rarely grants interviews but agreed to answer questions from the @latimes about his new Netflix limited series, #ColinInBlackAndWhite latimes.com/entertainment-…
Its six episodes focus on teenage Colin, a three-sport star, as he comes to terms with his Blackness and struggles to be accepted as a quarterback.

Why the show isn’t the NFL highlight-filled biopic one might expect: latimes.com/entertainment-…
It wasn’t exactly the story @ava came in expecting to tell either. But she soon understood the force of Kaepernick‘s determination. latimes.com/entertainment-…
What Kaepernick has to say in his own words about how he kept a tight grip on his story ⬇️ latimes.com/entertainment-…
“He was a filmmaking novice, but he is a quarterback. I was shocked at the way that his mind worked,” says @ava. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Read more from @MichaelOrdona's latest on why #ColinInBlackAndWhite is not, or not only, the story of a kid who wants to play quarterback: latimes.com/entertainment-…

In-N-Out Burger is increasingly at war with health officials over COVID-19 rules.

Earlier this month, San Francisco’s only In-N-Out was forced to temporarily close for violating a local rule requiring proof of vaccination for indoor customers.

This week, Contra Costa Health Services confirmed that an In-N-Out in Pleasant Hill was also forced to close after repeatedly violating county COVID-19 rules.

latimes.com/california/sto…
In-N-Out officials have pushed back, arguing that asking private businesses to enforce rules requiring proof of vaccination amounts to government overreach.

"Exxon is exploiting a unique Texas courthouse procedure to intimidate global warming activists."

Columnist @hiltzikm explains: latimes.com/business/story…
Exxon Mobil asserted in court that Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina and his city have been engaged in a nearly decade-long conspiracy to stifle its 1st Amendment free-speech rights.

“That’s a claim that should make you go, ‘Hmm,’” @hiltzikm writes. latimes.com/business/story…
Exxon Mobil is attempting to use “a bizarre Texas courthouse rule allowing a would-be litigant to demand depositions and documents from potential targets without first filing a lawsuit,” @hiltzikm writes. latimes.com/business/story…

Recent episodes at Facebook and Netflix have seen tech workers taking problems with their employers outside the building — to the media, to the streets and to Capitol Hill — in ways that were rare just a few years ago.

@_B_Contreras_ reports: latimes.com/business/story…
The shift has been on full display in the “Facebook Papers,” a large-scale project based on reams of previously internal Facebook documents made available by whistleblower Frances Haugen, a former product manager for the company.

Record rainfall this week could mean the end of wildfire season for much of Northern California, experts said, but conditions in the Southland remain more tenuous, and the coming weeks could still bring wildfire danger.

latimes.com/california/sto… Image
Southern California saw much less rain than the Bay Area and Sierra Nevada, and this region’s prime fire months often come later, with huge blazes of the past burning into November and December.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Many of the factors that drive fires, such as drought-dried vegetation, strong winds & high temps, remain a possibility in Southern California.

Officials say rising temperatures and Santa Ana winds in the next month could erase any moisture gains.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The closure comes 12 days after San Francisco’s only In-N-Out was forced to temporarily close for violating a local rule requiring proof of vaccination for indoor patrons latimes.com/california/sto…
Los Angeles’ impending crackdown could be an important test of the chain’s resistance to rules requiring proof of vaccination.

The exact number of locations in L.A. wasn’t available, but there are at least 16, mostly in the San Fernando Valley latimes.com/california/sto…
