Few cities in California were as bullish on pot as Lynwood.

By 2018, cannabis interests had become a major power-broker in the city’s political machine. But some pot business owners were unhappy and wanted changes.
latimes.com/california/sto…
The local cannabis business association was pushing the city to extend the terms of licenses to the applicant’s lifetime and to end restrictions on businesses selling city-approved cannabis licenses.

The $1-billion Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is rising in Exposition Park, has pushed back its opening date from 2023 to 2025. The two-year delay, the museum says, is due to pandemic complications. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“It’s an accumulation of things,” says Lucas Museum Director Sandra Jackson-Dumont. “It’s definitely supply chains, delays in getting materials, manufacturer issues, there are all these pieces that have together created this kind of impact.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
The museum broke ground in March 2018 and “topped out” — the term for setting the final beam within its steel structure in place — in March 2021. In April 2021, the museum pushed its targeted 2022 debut by a year because of pandemic-related delays. latimes.com/entertainment/…

Freeways. Palm trees. Searing sunsets. That is how Los Angeles is depicted in pop culture.

But how might L.A. be imagined by artificial intelligence?

To avoid the tropes, we turned to literature, poetry and myth. latimes.com/projects/los-a…
Carolina A. Miranda (@cmonstah) stitched together evocative texts about the city—from a Tongva creation myth to the writing of Joan Didion—to articulate its bizarre beauty and uncanny oddities. latimes.com/projects/los-a…
Then we asked Midjourney, the A.I.-powered rendering program, to imagine them.

Here's what the A.I. generated. It’s as weird as you might imagine. latimes.com/projects/los-a…

The corrupting flow of money has its roots in how California crafted its cannabis legalization law.

Proposition 64, put the ultimate decision on where pot businesses could operate in the hands of cities and counties.

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta on Tuesday took control from the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department of a controversial criminal investigation into county Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and others, saying that sidelining the department was in the “public interest.”

Bonta’s unusual decision to strip the Department of its own investigation comes amid mounting questions about the department’s handling of the probe and allegations from Kuehl and others that Sheriff Alex Villanueva is using it to attack political enemies. latimes.com/california/sto…
In another setback for the department, a Superior Court judge also on Tuesday temporarily blocked sheriff’s investigators from searching computers and other devices seized last week from Kuehl and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

The vintage game is all about education. Take a long-sleeve mesh Jean Paul Gaultier shirt, a piece the co-founders of Mom n Dad Vintage recently photographed on model Natalia Lemper. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
The casual onlooker, not understanding its rarity, may wonder why it’s so expensive when you can get a trendy mesh shirt that basically looks the same (it doesn’t) at a contemporary fast-fashion brand for $20. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
True heads know that the only reason those shirts are a trend in the first place is because of pieces like this one, the JPG. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
