The news that #Succession would end with Season 4 caught many fans off guard — and some of the cast as well. Sarah Snook said that she was not officially informed until the final table read in January: “I was very upset.” lat.ms/3Jv1q1h
“I felt a huge sense of loss, disappointment and sadness. It would have been nice to know at the beginning of the season, but I also understand not being told until the end because there was still a potential that maybe this wasn’t going to be the end.” lat.ms/3Jv1q1h
“Emotionally, all of us weren’t necessarily ready to be done with the show because we love each other so much,” she added. “But everything has to come to an end, and it’s smart not to let something become a parody of itself.” lat.ms/3Jv1q1h

As a strike that has shut down LAUSD schools continues into a second day, Mayor Karen Bass has stepped in to talk with union and school district leaders to offer “assistance and support." latimes.com/california/sto…
The district’s noon update, posted on social media, revealed few specific details and gave no indication that the third scheduled day of the strike Thursday could be prevented. latimes.com/california/sto…
In the best-case scenario the strike could end after two days. But on Wednesday afternoon, it looked most likely that the strike would continue for the scheduled three days. latimes.com/california/sto…

“We went up to Keanu’s room and had a whole meeting and there was no talk, there was no decision — everybody just knew the right thing to do,” said the director. “When you have that many people who love someone, you just know.” lat.ms/40p3nmN

A massive three-day strike planned by the majority of LAUSD employees — bus drivers, teachers, custodians and others — kicked off early today, with picketers marching through the dark, rainy morning.
Hundreds of school employees, many among the lowest-paid, joined the picket line before 5 a.m. at LAUSD’s Van Nuys bus yard, marching in ponchos and balancing signs with their umbrellas.
The walkout will last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
U.S. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank) joined the striking workers, calling the median income of $25,000 for bus drivers, cafeteria workers and school aides “poverty wages.”
