When #IndianMatchmaking first debuted, none of the featured couples were still together. But what about Season 2?

@MeredithBlake checked in with some of the standout cast members to find out if reality TV led to romance. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“I was looking for a unicorn,” says Viral Joshi, “and you can’t find a unicorn walking into a bar.”

“Luckily, thanks to the magic wand of Sima Auntie,” she adds, “I haven’t had to really compromise on anything on my list.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
Shital Patel watched the first season of “Indian Matchmaking” with her mom when it came out in 2020. Then Netflix came calling.

Now she’s on Season 2: “I just didn’t really value myself, so I was attracting guys who also didn’t value me.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
Returning for Season 2 is Nadia Jagessar.

“Looking back, maybe I should have listened to Sima Aunty upfront,” she says of her experience with one of her matches, “but I don’t regret the time that I spent with him.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
While the show still follows Sima Taparia at work in India, the focus this time around is less on traditional matchmaking than the ups and downs of dating within the Indian diaspora.

Here’s what you need to know about #IndianMatchmaking Season 2. latimes.com/entertainment-…

In an approximately $66 million drug company settlement, the court made ex-judge John K. Trotter a gatekeeper for the funds. No money was to leave an escrow account at Comerica Bank except “as directed” by the retired justice, according to a court order.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Yet almost all of the settlement – some $65 million – poured into a separate law firm account controlled by Tom Girardi, according to internal Girardi Keese records that became public this year in bankruptcy proceedings.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Just over a month after he gained access to the money, Girardi wrote a check on that account for $750,000 to M.M. Jewelers.

The family-owned store in downtown L.A. had created several pieces in the $15-million jewelry collection of Erika Girardi.

Ana Lopez was 14 when her mom shared gossip about a woman in their neighborhood who, rumor had it, had gotten an abortion.

“Catholic people don’t do that,” Bertha Valdez said.

“Se va a ir al infierno,” Lopez recalls her mom saying. “She’s going to hell.”
latimes.com/politics/story… Image
Nearly three decades later, Lopez, now 40, says the memory remains vivid, a reminder of her family’s long-standing beliefs — and of how important it was for her to break with tradition and challenge the stereotype of Latinos as socially conservative.

The Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe vs. Wade after nearly a half century and subsequent abortion bans in many states have pushed reproductive rights to the forefront of the political debate ahead of the midterm elections.

Helin Bereket spent hours driving her rental car down the dusty roads just east of Twentynine Palms earlier this year, photographing the abandoned homesteads that littered the desert landscape.

The Berlin-based photographer had read online about the forgotten shacks filled with shriveled reminders that they were once homes decades ago.

Many of the homesteads were built in the 50s as part of the Small Tracts Act, a program that awarded parcels to people who built homes on the property.

Today, the abandoned shacks are as much a part of the desert as the creosote bushes that dot the land.
