Hour 1 (9.09) Eight Dana Point homes red-tagged, one already in the ocean, 75 yards of beach gone. In Sherman Oaks, In-N-Out keeps its lease. Pineapple Hill got 60 days. (155 characters) 6:05 — Football is back, which is the only good news in a day like this one. It's 108 in the Valley, Timmy's wife clocked 114 in the car, and a brush fire broke out along the 405 in the Sepulveda Pass just after 4:15. It closed the Getty Center and put Brentwood and Bel-Air under evacuation warnings. 6:20 — The fire — now called the Getty Fire — burned about 25 acres before crews stopped its forward progress. And Delta 2311 out of LAX never made Salt Lake City: the masks dropped over the Mojave, the 737 went from 36,000 feet to 9,000 in about ten minutes, and 181 people ended up in Las Vegas instead. 6:35 — Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill has been pouring at 4454 Van Nuys Blvd since 1978. Angela Marsden got a 60-day notice to vacate on August 6 for a redevelopment — and the In-N-Out on the same lot has been told it can stay. She was promised her lease back after construction. Nothing in writing. Sign the petition https://www.change.org/p/save-pineapple-hill-saloon-grill? 6:50 — Down in Dana Point, roughly 75 yards of beach vanished in four days. Eight homes on Beach Road are red-tagged, three more yellow-tagged, one has partially collapsed into the ocean, and about 500 boulders are being trucked in to hold the line on what's left.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's another day of dangerous heat after some places in SoCal felt hotter than 120 degrees yesterday. Evacuation warnings are lifted after a brush fire creeped toward Brentwood and the Getty Center.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents four stories, recorded at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, in which characters shape their expectations and dreams to a manageable size.  So if you're “Medusa,” as in our first story, by Tania James, you try to figure out how to live in the world instead of turning it to stone.  The reader is Constance Zimmer.  Parents in our second story, “We Only Wanted Their Happiness,” by Alexander Weinstein, make a tactical choice about technology.  It's performed by Randall Park.  The narrator of Honor Levy's “Good Boys,” read by Annie Hamilton, understands that infatuation is a phase.  And a man and a woman sidestep romance in “Arrangements” by Charlie Watts, performed by Laura Harrier and Will Harrison.  The program was created in cooperation with Belletrist, an online book club created by Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Spectrum 14 by Charles Ross Spectrum 14 is a calibrated array of prisms that cast a dazzling display of luminous color across the Museum's rotunda. Bands of spectral light traverse the space in relation to the sun, which follow a slightly different arc through the sky every day. Over time, Ross's work changes in response to Earth's rotational orbit, connecting us to the premodern experience of astronomical observation and calculation that defined cycles of days, seasons, and rituals.

Episode 604The interview with Steven D. Kelly is an intense exposé highlighting his journey from laser engineer to self proclaimed whistleblower, recounting a lifetime entangled with intelligence agencies, clandestine mafia networks, and the alleged satanic underbelly of elite society. He paints a disturbing picture of cities like Long Beach and others as centers of occult activity, connecting underground reservoirs to Masonic rituals and satanic gatherings that supposedly target children. The narrative drifts through family legacies, where personal connections with the CIA and NSA are described as part of a generational handoff, and Kelly's own experience transitions from secret military contracts into a battle against sinister forces.Claiming to have developed advanced laser and free energy technology, Kelly details how his inventions became coveted by global arms dealers and intelligence operatives, but were ultimately stifled through various shadowy means. The central focus of his whistleblowing revolves around the Getty Center, which he alleges is built atop vast subterranean bunkers housing secret art collections and a large number of trafficked children. He asserts the presence of a "caver" society within these bunkers, comprising psychic warriors and shape shifting reptilians engaged in psychic warfare battles that, in his narrative, are every bit as real as conventional conflict.Throughout the conversation, Kelly invokes the awareness of historical secret societies, interwoven religious conspiracies, and characterizes political figures such as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Jeffrey Epstein as part of a mafia-like network operating above the law. He frequently references psychic skills as the true weapon against these dark powers, suggesting that technological advancement is secondary to mental and psychic combat. Lacing the testimony with accounts of government harassment, surveillance, and attempts to silence or discredit him, Kelly situates his work as a desperate mission to expose and dismantle these allegedly entrenched global conspiracies.

In this special Birthday Crossover Episode of Dennis Anyone and Dennis Hensley's Happy & Gay, Dennis breaks down his five days of birthday activities, which included two films (Almost Famous & Magnolia), one museum excursion (the Queer Lens exhibit at the Getty Center), one game day at Lawless Brewery and one marvelous outdoor play; Wine in the Wilderness by Alice Childress at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum.

Dennis ends the episode with two happiness-related quotes from Andy Warhol and shares a recent experience related to his new game Search Party where he had to put on his big boy pants and lived to tell about it.

Last weekend, warnings to evacuate were issued to the suburban westside neighborhood of Brentwood, which includes the esteemed Getty Center, home to one of the city's most prized art collections. After more than a week of burning, L.A.'s devastating wildfires, which began on January 7, are still not fully contained, forcing ongoing evacuation orders around the coastal city. It is the worst fire event in L.A.'s history and has taken 24 lives. As part of the Getty Trust, the museum features European paintings, including Van Gogh's Irises, and works by Rembrandt, Monet, Manet, and Peter Paul Rubens. It also houses Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art from the Neolithic to Late Antiquity—some of which is partially held at its second campus, the Getty Villa. Days before the threat of fire reached the museum's main venue over the weekend, the Villa was already grappling with the Palisades blaze, which ended up destroying or damaging around 4,000 structures and spreading over 23,000 acres. As the fires raged around Los Angeles, intensified by strong winds, media imagery circulating online showed brush burning around the Getty Villa in the Palisades. This prompted panic about the security of the collection. The institution, however, has long billed itself as a highly fire-safe institution. Built in 1997, the Getty Center has been described as “a marvel of anti-fire engineering.” Throughout the last week, its team has worked tirelessly to defend the property and has communicated daily about the safety and security of its sites. Unfortunately, many other properties—including thousands of homes, businesses, and smaller cultural institutions—have been destroyed. Many cultural workers, collectors, and gallerists are among those who lost their homes, and artists' homes and studios—including entire bodies of work and archives—have been irretrievably lost. The extent of livelihoods destroyed in Los Angeles is truly heartbreaking. We will link to resources in the show notes where you can find out how to help. We also have a story on our website providing frequent updates on the state of the cultural scene. This week, the J. Paul Getty Trust and a coalition of local and international cultural institutions announced a $12 million emergency relief fund for members of the Los Angeles arts community affected by the wildfires. Katherine E. Fleming, president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, joins me on The Art Angle to discuss her experience of the wildfires, the Getty's state-of-the-art prevention protocols for its valuable art, and what the fires mean for Los Angeles' cultural scene as it eventually seeks to rebuild.

In this week's episode of “This Week” by Daily Bruin Podcasts, our team covers the UC development proposing tuition hikes for out-of-state students, UCLA's athletic achievements with both basketball teams being nationally ranked, the Getty Center's new Alps exhibition and significant music releases from major artists. On a larger scale, the episode covers political developments and EU environmental policy changes and provides updates on campus, local and global news, courtesy of our correspondents Izzy Greig, Sam Mulick, Connor Dullinger, Reid Sperisen and Sophia Alcomendas.

At the NYTimes, the Saturday crosswords are traditionally the toughest of the week, and today's, a debut (!) by Katie Hoody, is certainly in that vein. Although difficult, the clues were awesome, making that wondrous AHA! moment that comes when you solve one just that much sweeter.For example, we had the magnificent 8D, Took in a bad way, POACHED (woah!); 56D, Lead follower: Abbr, DET (definitely a Saturday level clue); and the subtle 48A, Good point, PRO. Those are just a few of the many, many great clues in the puzzle. It is also Saturday, time for our JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award™), and today's winner goes to ... somebody: check out today's episode for their name, our rationale, and all the other particulars.Show note imagery: the GETTY Center, home to the GETTY museumWe love feedback!

It's a museum day for us! We're headed to the Getty Center to talk to a team that tries to protect some of the priceless art from earthquake damage. Did you know that piece from antiquity in front of you might actually be on rollers? And some of them have ankle problems. We'll also dust off some really old books and talk about how the Middle Ages get a pretty bad rap.

Writer Deirdre Coyle's fiction and essays have appeared in Electric Literature, Lit Hub, The New Republic, The Texas Observer, Hobart Pulp, and elsewhere. This story, "Stakes," was performed at a show at the Getty Center in L.A., at a show produced in conjunction with the online literary collective, Belletrist Book Club. If you don't know Belletrist, it was founded by committed friends and readers Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss. They recommend new works by an incredible collection of writers, host online conversations and foster a community of like-minded readers. Emma Roberts reads this story, and we feature an interview between host Aparna Nancherla and Karah Preiss in this episode.

This story was read at a Selected Shorts show in L.A., hosted by the Getty Center, and co-produced with the Belletrist Book Club, the online reading community created by longtime friends and readers Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss.  Jones-Yelvington is an artist and drag performer who is also a prolific writer. They have written chapbooks, a memoir, a young adult novel and two collections of short fiction, Don't Make Me Do Something We'll Both Regret and This Is a Dance Movie! And the title story of their collection is all about movie cliches, how we might play with them, and the kinds of connection we hope we can achieve in telling our own stories.  Writer and actor Ryan O'Connell performs the story. His book I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves was adapted into the Netflix series Special—in which he starred. His novel Just By Looking at Him came out in 2022, and he has appeared in recent series including the reboot of Queer as Folk.  Our episode was hosted by comedian Aparna Nancherla.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents four stories in which characters shape their expectations and dreams to a manageable size in collaboration with Belletrist Book Club. So if you're “Medusa,” as in our first story, by Tania James, you try to figure out how to live in the world instead of turning it to stone. The reader is Constance Zimmer. Parents in our second story, “We Only Wanted Their Happiness,” by Alexander Weinstein, make a tactical choice about technology. It's performed by Randall Park. The narrator of Honor Levy's “Good Boys,” read by Annie Hamilton, understands that infatuation is a phase. And a man and a woman sidestep romance in “Arrangements” by Charlie Watts, performed by Laura Harrier and Will Harrison. The show was recorded at the Getty Center in Los Angeles and features commentary by Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss of Belletrist Book Club. Since 2017, Belletrist Book Club has chosen more than 75 titles for the book club and dozens more for myriad content features across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and the newsletter The Belletrist Brief. In 2019, Emma Roberts and Karah Priess spun out Belletrist Book Club into a production company called Belletrist Productions. https://www.belletrist.com/
