From LA to OC, Asian night markets draw thousands over a common language: Food
Events such as FoodieLand Night Market in Pasadena and San Diego, KTOWN Night Market in Koreatown, the Taste of Japan in Anaheim and Little Saigon’s Asian Garden Night Market in Westminster have exploded in size and popularity and draw big crowds. Universities have gotten in on the trend as well, with schools like the University of Southern California, San Diego State University, Cal State Northridge, and UC Irvine starting their own night markets on campus.

This artist aims to prove Valley haters wrong with DIY ‘performative’ tours of the region
Hernandez developed the tour for his junior year exhibition at CalArts. The first tours took place in fall 2019, with friends and friends of friends as passengers. Hernandez was inspired by the catalog from a 2014 exhibition, “Valley Vista,” at Cal State Northridge, as well as the “fearlessness and interactivity” of performance artist Andrea Fraser and the “everyday target audience” of artist David Hammons. Since 2019, he’s led about half a dozen tours in all. Which isn’t a lot, he admits, noting that he took a two-year break during the pandemic. “And it is five hours,” he adds. “Plus, there’s not that much interest in taking a tour of the Valley, given its reputation.” -- Los Angeles Times

Five Major Late-Night Hosts Will Launch Joint Podcast To Support Staff During Writers’ Strike
Late-night television shows—including these hosts’ shows, Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show—were among the first to shut down after the strike began in May. Shortly after, the Screen Actors Guild went on strike, as well, meaning even if late-night television wanted to come back without writers, the shows would likely struggle to book guests as actors are not allowed to promote work they’ve filmed during their strike. The strikes were the results of failed contract negotiations with Hollywood studios after members requested increased compensation, better residuals, staffing requirements and protections from AI job interference, among other demands. The failure to reach an agreement has cost California’s economy an estimated $3 billion as of early August, according to Todd Holmes, a professor at California State University, Northridge. -- Forbes
