Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson sit down for a joint interview about their real-life friendship and “deeply organic” onscreen chemistry: “From the first day of rehearsal on #InBruges... there was just an ease and a little bit of giddiness.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
Ahead of their reunion in Martin McDonagh’s new film “The Banshees of Inisherin,” the duo reflects on their careers, the cult status of "In Bruges" and how Farrell and McDonagh convinced Gleeson to host #SNL. latimes.com/entertainment-… ImageImage
Gleeson says McDonagh helped write his #SNL monologue.

"I wanted him to do ['SNL'] more than I wanted him to do 'Banshees' or 'In Bruges,'" says Farrell. latimes.com/entertainment-…
"Martin’s writing really is the tastiest stuff," Farrell says of #TheBansheesOfInisherin director Martin McDonagh.

"It’s so funny, but ultimately it’s so moving and emotionally connected to all the things we struggle with as human beings." latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
Colin Farrell says Martin McDonagh writes about "a tenderness and a longing and a deep inquisition into what it is to be a human being, how fallible and frail we ultimately are and how much we need each other." latimes.com/entertainment-… Image

About 100 students walked out during a break at John Marshall High School in Los Feliz Thursday, demanding improved security measures after the on-campus stabbing Wednesday of two students.
latimes.com/california/sto…
The students said the stabbings came after another on-campus student assault in a classroom earlier this week, raising their fears about campus safety.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Students who walked out said school administrators need to do a better job protecting them and said various measures could be taken, including more accessible mental health counseling, a stronger police presence and random searches for weapons and drugs.

After the

’ TV deal expired this summer, some fans wondered on social media why owner Steve Ballmer didn’t simply start his own channel to broadcast the games.

So he did ... kind of.

Introducing the ClipperVision streaming service. latimes.com/sports/clipper…
All
@Clippers
games will still be televised on Bally Sports, KTLA or national TV. But 74 of the 82 games can also be watched on ClipperVision, which exists, in part, because the team hopes to capture younger viewers who don’t have cable.

The app offers six live streams of each game, ranging from the Bally Sports+ feed, live commentary in Korean and Spanish, an augmented-reality mode and “BallerVision,” which features guests, including former NBA players, reacting casually to the game. latimes.com/sports/clipper… Image

L.A.’s history of overcrowded housing started in the late 19th century, and continued through the bulldozing of Mexican neighborhoods in Chavez Ravine in the 1950s for the eventual construction of Dodger Stadium.

Here’s what happened⬇️ latimes.com/california/sto…
When World War II ended, L.A. faced the worst housing crisis in its history.

In response, local reformers envisioned a new neighborhood for 17,000 people, including two dozen 13-story towers.

Elysian Park Heights would be one of the nation’s largest public housing developments. A photo from 1951 shows Cha...
The project was to feature density and diversity rather than sprawl and segregation.

But some 4,000 residents, mostly Mexican, already lived on the site of the proposed housing project.

Many didn’t understand why they had to leave. latimes.com/california/sto…

For the vast stretch of Mexico’s modern history, many denied that racism existed in the country at all.

But a growing social movement is challenging that thinking, bringing discussions of discrimination based on skin color to the fore. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
A few months ago, Sonora Grill Prime in Mexico City was accused of assigning seating according to skin color.

“Racism is real,” Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters, using a word long regarded as taboo. “We have to accept that it exists and fight it.” latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Much of the work for activists has been focused on a basic first step: getting others to recognize that Mexico is a country with racial differences. “First, we have to educate,” one activist told @katelinthicum. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Black real estate developers behind the proposed $1.6-billion Angels Landing project in downtown L.A. said that they refuse to continue working with City Councilman Kevin De León, in light of the secretly taped racist conversation he took part in. latimes.com/california/sto…
In a letter to then-acting Council President Mitch O’Farrell Friday, two of the country’s most prominent Black builders, Victor MacFarlane and R. Donahue Peebles, called for De León to resign. latimes.com/california/sto…
The project is in De León’s district, and it may not receive the go-ahead from City Hall without his support.

But De León and former Council President Nury Martinez have declined to meet with them to discuss the project for several months, they said. latimes.com/california/sto…

Hanging on a wall at the Inn Between is a photo of John Cal Robb, the note he wrote before he died and the blue plastic butterfly that signaled to his friends that it was his time to go.

Thread ⬇️ latimes.com/california/sto…
Robb’s death was especially hard on the inn. His overweight mutt, Boo Boo, still roams the facility — one of only a handful of establishments in the country dedicated to end-of-life care for homeless people. latimes.com/california/sto…
“If you are reading this, I have ridden off into the sunset with my fishing pole in hand. Thank you for helping me get to this point,” wrote Robb, who, in the photo, wears a contemplative smile, a cigarette hanging from this mouth. latimes.com/california/sto… “I came in a broken man wit...
