It’s hilariously spot-on, bringing to life the stories we’ve all heard or witnessed firsthand. We

Fans of Jim Acosta may soon have to wait until the midnight hour to see their favorite CNN anchor — or perhaps not see him at all. Acosta, a fixture on the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned network since 2007, is mulling a proposal from CNN Chairman and Chief Executive Mark Thompson to give up his daytime shift and move to Los Angeles to helm a two-hour nightly newscast that starts at midnight Eastern time. A CNN representative and Acosta declined comment. But two people familiar with the discussions confirmed the talks, which were first reported last week in Status, the newsletter written by former CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy. Acosta has yet to make a decision on accepting the assignment, said the people familiar with the matter, who were not authorized to comment publicly. He has been told by CNN that the move to Los Angeles is not a requirement and that the new program could come out of Washington, where he lives with his family. If CNN goes forward with the move, some will see it as a way of capitulating to President Trump by

The road up to Night Temple was dark and steep enough to take your breath away. But a few days before Christmas, a string quartet hauled its instruments up the hairpin stone pathway, into a Franklin Hills living room for amonthly house-show series. Inside the home, perched over a hill looking out on Los Feliz, it felt evil-bohemian, with guests in all black milling around a keg of bracingly bitter tea or eating homemade pasta by the outdoor grotto altar. In the living room, the string quartet tuned and sawed to life as hosts Carisa Bianca Mellado and Andrew Dalziell laid out the night’s program: four L.A. film composers leading sets of new piano and string pieces. As the 30 or so guests took in the work — haunting choral runs, minimalist chamber suites and sacred-music melodies — you could hear the grit and intimacy of players figuring out their scores right in front of you. “One surprising thing is how these really accomplished film composers, who have music on big movies and big shows, say there’s something really vulnerable about writing for this,” Dalziell

If 2025 already feels like it’s been a lot, imagine trying to put on an event meant to bring together thousands of people to focus their attention on independent cinema for 11 days. Such is the challenge facing this year’s Sundance Film Festival, which begins on Thursday and runs through Feb 2. With the presidential inauguration and political vibe shift of the new administration earlier this week and wildfires still a threat in Los Angeles, Sundance is here with its 41st edition, asking filmmakers, the media, Hollywood industry players and audiences to decamp for Park City, Utah, to watch from a program of 88 feature films — a tall order. Yet it may be just the thing to bring troubled minds some sense of structure, solace and even relief. “This year the festival lands on the calendar at a moment when I think we need it most,” says Eugene Hernandez, director of the festival. “I’ve been chatting a lot in recent days with filmmakers, industry, audiences and staff who were displaced or much worse in the past week. Folks who’ve lost so much. Everyone continues

Good morning, Central Coast. While much of the country braces for a once-in-a-generation snowstorm, were enjoying far milder conditions here by the coast. President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily halting leasing and permitting for offshore wind projects in federal waters, including near Morro Bay, to evaluate environmental, economic, and subsidy impacts on the wind industry. While local fishermen welcomed the pause, citing concerns about marine life and fishing disruptions, clean energy advocates and some companies expressed opposition, highlighting the role of wind energy in meeting national and state renewable energy goals.

President Donald Trump is standing by his campaign promiseshis latest order declares that the federal government will recognize only two sexes: male and female. Gala Pride and Diversity Center in San Luis Obispo is responding to this. Julia Thompson, President of the Board of Directors at the Gala Pride and Diversity Center, told KSBY Daybreak Senior Reporter Shannon MacNeil in a statement Tuesday:”I cannot speak for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, but as the President of the Board of Directors at the GALA Pride and Diversity Center, I can tell you this is nonsense. Gender-diverse people have been here much longer than Donald Trump, and an inauguration speech meant to incite anger and fear does not negate anyone’s existence or experience. Gender diverse folks woke up yesterday morning, they woke up this morning, and they will wake up tomorrow morning.”Thompson added that anyone struggling to process the new administration can keep an eye out for the center’s therapist-led grief support group focusing on the implications of the current political climate.
