Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Luka Doncic: Walker Kessler will be an 'amazing fit' for Lakers (usatoday.com) — Lakers players and coaches kicked off the new season with Media Day at the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo, where Luka Doncic praised new center Walker Kessler as an "amazing fit." With Kessler now healthy after shoulder surgery and signed long-term, El Segundo–based practices and training camp will showcase how his defense and rebounding reshape the team's playoff hopes.
• Mattel Adds 'Bluey' IP to Toy Slate (labusinessjournal.com) — Mattel, headquartered in El Segundo, is teaming up with BBC Studios to bring characters from the hit kids' show "Bluey" into five major toy lines, including Barbie and Hot Wheels. The deal comes as Mattel navigates strong sales but tighter margins and a lagging stock price, while also pushing harder into collaborations that appeal to both kids and adult collectors.
• Newsom Vetoes Insurance Reform Bills Sought by Wildfire Survivors (mynewsla.com) — Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed two insurance reform bills that wildfire survivors say would have forced insurers to be more transparent and timely with claims, even though one was co-authored by Sen. Ben Allen, D‑El Segundo. For local homeowners, especially those worried about fire risk, the decision means continued uncertainty over delayed or underpaid claims, though a separate Allen bill strengthening non‑renewal protections was signed.
