David Zaslav is one of America’s highest-paid executives. In 2022, his cable programming company Discovery took control of Warner Bros., along with several other networks. But just as the merger closed, the streaming bubble burst, prompting the lay off of thousands of employees, and the cancellation of more than $1 billion in programming. In L.A. Influential, a new series highlighting powerful Angelenos, senior entertainment writer Meg James talks with Zaslav about his career and changes in the entertainment industry. https://lnkd.in/g99mfrPN

Tension over toilets (you read correctly) is playing out in a beloved hiking spot not far from L.A. Owners of historic cabins in Big Santa Anita Canyon lament that bathrooms in the highly-trafficked area have gone away in recent years. It turns out about half the facilities vanished in less than a decade, according to information provided to me by the U.S. Forest Service. Public land managers are often left with the complicated task of providing access with limited budget and staffing. But given the droves of people who come through the canyon, some believe the current level of services is untenable. If the agency doesn't step up, cabin owners say, they'll literally have to clean up the mess. Read more about this s***storm in my latest for the LA Times:

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that cities in California and the West may enforce laws restricting homeless encampments on sidewalks and other public property. In a 6-3 decision, the justices disagreed with the the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco and ruled it is not “cruel and unusual” punishment for city officials to forbid homeless people from sleeping on the streets or in parks. “Homelessness is complex,” wrote Justice Neil M. Gorsuch for the court. “Its causes are many. So may be the public policy responses required to address it. At bottom, the question this case presents is whether the 8th Amendment grants federal judges primary responsibility for assessing those causes and devising those responses. It does not.” He was joined by the other conservative justices, while the three liberal justices dissented. https://lnkd.in/g6234YE8
