The Lakers have fired coach Frank Vogel after three seasons with the franchise and two years after leading the team to its 17th @NBA championship. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…
Even though Frank Vogel is gone, the #Lakers' problems still remain.

The heart of the roster is not going to change, so the pedigree of the coach must change.

Here's who they should call, @BillPlaschke writes. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…
Malik Monk, who had a career-best 41 points in Sunday's #Lakers win over Denver, said Vogel "kept his cool" despite the constant swirl of rumors. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…
“I’m the point guard. Give me that s—. Everybody get out the way.”

@DanWoikeSports and @BA_Turner take a deep dive into an aging roster, the Russell Westbrook trade and injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis that sunk the Lakers’ title hopes.

Over the last decade, there’s been a growing threat to wild white sage propelled by those who probably consider themselves allies of the natural world and likely have no idea that their actions are endangering the plant they revere: sage stick smudgers. 🧵 latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
You’ve seen them on social media, television and film: actors, influencers and celebrities waving thick, smoldering bundles of dried white sage leaves to smudge away negative energy or evil spirits, or just purify the air. latimes.com/lifestyle/stor… Image
This mania for white sage has become a global phenomenon, with websites all over the world selling fat bundles of dried sage for purification or cleansing. latimes.com/lifestyle/stor… Image

The Times has filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles that seeks to force Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office and the Fire Department to release numerous internal records in the case of a high-ranking fire official who was reported to be drunk on duty.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The official was reported to be drunk on duty during a major blaze but faced no discipline and retired with a $1.4-million payout.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Filed late Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the suit alleges that the city violated the California Public Records Act by denying the newspaper’s requests for an investigative report and other documents regarding former Chief Deputy Fred Mathis.

“I don’t want to do what the bread guys & the gas guys & everybody else are doing.”

AriZona iced tea prices are not changing – even with inflation – the company’s founder says.

A 23-ounce can costs 99 cents, the same price it has been for 30 years ago.

latimes.com/business/story… Image
Today, that’s cheaper than most bottled water, 20-ounce sodas, iced teas and canned coffees on the market. If you could fill your car up with cans of AriZona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey, it would be cheaper than L.A. gas by nearly 40 cents a gallon.

latimes.com/business/story…
How does AriZona pull this off while everything else goes up?

The short answer: the company is making less money. The big cans are still profitable, but for the moment, they’re much less so than a few years ago.

Lucius say they think they were unfairly denied a feature credit on Harry Styles’ song “Treat People with Kindness.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
According to Lucius, they’d been in the studio with Styles working on a different song they didn’t end up completing when he asked them to sing on what would become “Treat People with Kindness.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
“Two weeks later, they sent us the track. And it was literally us. We start the song, we sing every chorus, just us. We trade off the bridge. It is us and Harry Styles." latimes.com/entertainment-…

There are no life-threatening injuries among the 10 people shot in Tuesday morning’s Brooklyn subway attack, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said.

At least six more people were injured.

There was no known link to terrorism, the commissioner said, and no known explosive devices.

Five people were in critical condition but stable, according to the New York Fire Department commissioner.

A gunman filled a rush-hour subway train with smoke and shot multiple people Tuesday, leaving wounded commuters bleeding on a Brooklyn platform as others ran screaming, authorities said.

Lots of people want their cremated remains scattered in the sea, but that’s not what Lois Woodburn had in mind.

“She said, ‘My whole body in there. Just throw me in the ocean. That’s what I want,’” said her daughter, Teresa Stremcha.

A full body burial at sea is a bit more complicated than simply heaving a corpse overboard. But it is possible, and legal, as long as certain protocols are followed. Funeral director Ken McKenz...
Full body burials at sea are not new, but they are rare.

In 2020, 162 Californians were buried at sea, according to data collected by the Environmental Protection Agency. Diane Berol, at right in wh...
