He was 47.
<br>
<br> The stunning news of Navalny’s death — less than a month before an election that <a href=”https://apnews.com/article/putin-russia-opposition-presidential-election-ed74cfa0fb957317188de39fe9ae7d15″ data-cms-ai=”0″>will give Putin another six years in power</a> — brought renewed criticism and outrage directed at the Kremlin leader who has cracked down on all opposition at home. People laid flowers at monuments to victims of Soviet-era political repressions in some Russian cities, but there was no immediate indication that Navalny’s death, which will deal a heavy blow to the beleaguered and fractured opposition, would spark large protests.
<br>
<br> Joining us to discuss is <strong>Daniel Roher</strong>, director of the 2022 documentary Navalny and <strong>Regina Smyth</strong>, professor of political science at Indiana University and author of “Elections, Protest, and Authoritarian Regime Stability: Russia 2008–2020.”

From Flip Wilson And Diahann Carroll To ‘Fresh Prince’ And ‘Black-ish’ ‘Black TV’ Looks Back On A Half Century Of Groundbreaking Television
From Flip Wilson And Diahann Carroll To ‘Fresh Prince’ And ‘Black-ish’ ‘Black TV’ Looks Back On A Half Century Of Groundbreaking Television
TV shows like Donald Glover’s hit series on FX, “Atlanta,” and Kenya Barris’ ABC smash “Black-ish” are just a couple of the highly popular and successful modern shows about experiences of Black people, which we see much more often today than in years past. But even so, shows like them might not be possible if not for pioneers like Diahann Carroll, who starred as the title role in the sitcom “Julia” and in doing so became the first Black woman to star in a non-stereotypical role in a TV series, or the actor and comedian Flip Wilson who hosted his variety show “The Flip Wilson Show” in the 1970s and was the first Black man to host a successful variety TV show. In her new book “Black TV: Five decades of Groundbreaking Television from Soul Train to Black-ish and Beyond,” <i>author </i><strong>Bethonie Butler </strong>looks back on half a century of Black television, from early groundbreakers like Carroll and Wilson and shows like “Soul Train” and “The Jeffersons” to 90s classics like “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Family Matters” and “Sister, Sister” to more recent hits like “Scandal” and “How To Get Away With Murder.”

Food Friday: Wedding Cakes For The Win
Food Friday: Wedding Cakes For The Win
Floral embellishments, whimsical watercolor, metallic accents – this is the language we use in 2024 to describe wedding cakes. It’s no longer vanilla, chocolate or red velvet, although the flavor palette is critical. But these days, it seems like wedding cakes are canvases that come in all shapes, sizes and themes. Couples are getting increasingly creative with their vision of the perfect cake too – some find ways to make their cake interactive, allowing guests to decorate their own individual portion. Other couples opt for the classic elegance of a traditional 3-tier wedding cake. If nothing else, wedding cakes are meant to taste delicious and reflect the joy of the occasion. We also want to hear from you! Did you have a memorable wedding cake at your wedding? Call us at 866-893-5722 or email is at <a href=”mailto:laist@atcomments.com” data-cms-ai=”0″>laist@atcomments.com</a>. Joining us today on AirTalk is founder and cake artist at Sweet Pea Cakery LA, which is based in La Cañada Flintridge, <strong>Melanie Pendergast.</strong>
