Good morning. It’s Monday, and I’m reading about how dog training has gone woke. Onto the five USC, Los Angeles and California stories you need to know for today.

Your next apartment search could be less of a headache thanks to a group of USC students. Sublist, a startup founded by a USC senior, lets users list and rent apartments for sublease: a potential life-saver for any last-minute housing search. The platform requires users to verify their student status with a USC-issued email address, and even lets sellers list rooms by the day. At a glance, the platform boasts a handful of affordable private bedrooms for this summer.

It just got a lot harder to read the news in California. Google said it’s blocking California-based news outlets from appearing in search results for an unspecified number of users in the state: a move essentially in protest of pending legislation that would force Google to pay newspapers a percentage of the ad revenue it makes off their content. The tech giant previously employed the same hissy-fit antics when faced with a similar law in Canada meant to provide a lifeline to the news industry that was decimated by the advent of digital marketing.

McDonald’s reintroduced bagel sandwiches at its locations across California, an effort to boost restaurant traffic amid rising labor costs given the state’s new $20 fast food minimum wage. The company said it expects the reinstated menu item, which has historically been a fan-favorite, plus an ad blitz and new optimization measures to boost sales by as much as 10%. Fun fact: McDonald’s contributes around $5 billion to California’s GDP.

A group of USC social work students is railing the university to install desks and chairs that accommodate plus-sized people in the classroom. Standard chairs, they say, aren’t “size-inclusive.” The group of some 20 protestors demonstrated on Trousdale last Wednesday, wrapped in yellow caution tape while sitting on metal folding chairs; they originally wanted to bring the offending chairs out to the protest, but said they were worried about logistical issues and “getting in trouble.”

LA County health officials said a traveler with measles visited a handful of tourist hotspots late last month, and warned anybody potentially exposed to confirm that they’re vaccinated against the virus. Between March 30 and April 1, the traveler visited locations including, but not limited to: the Sheraton hotel next to LAX. A nearby Denny’s. Universal Studios. An Inglewood Jack in the Box. Santa Monica Pier. Then Denny’s again. The real cautionary tale here might be the travel itinerary. I’m wishing the tourist a speedy recovery, and also plugging a guide to the LA food scene.
