The Creature reminds you to stop and smell the roses

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy sitting at the base of a rose bush and smelling some flowers during a bright afternoon. The Creature is on the concrete edging separating a mulched rose bed and a lush green lawn, its body perpendicular to the camera and facing image-left. Its trunk is pointed directly at two low-hanging Rosa “Piñata” blossoms.

🎧 Artist: #WRDSMTH + #KarPart in City: #LosAngeles / 3224 Glendale Blvd,(G-SON Studios/ BluJamCafe) CA USA 12/2024 - Title: "Intergalactic" 🤖(I like my sugar with coffee and cream.") #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #BeastieBoys #Coffee #GoodMorning

Streetartwall. A mural of a robot with a quote from a Beastie Boys song was painted on the white exterior wall of a café in LA. The 1.5-metre tall tin robot holds a knife and fork in its gripping pincers and stands slightly askew with the words: "I like my sugar with coffee and cream." (and on the right side "Intergalatic Planetary")
Info: Located in the heart of Atwater Village, G-SON served as a recording studio and rehearsal space for the Beastie Boys in the 90s. The inspiration is the lyrics from the song "Intergalactic" and the artwork of the robot comes from the iconic music video. (By the way, the artist accidentally wrote Intercalctic instead of the word Intergalatic, but we won't tell him)

Unlike many #rivers that terminate in a #seaport, the #LARiver was never navigable by ship. It was more of a marshy estuarial system, fanning out all over #wetlands. The placement of the #LosAngeles/ #LongBeach #ports is actually kind of arbitrary as far as the river is concerned--but the river had to be managed to support #railroads & later, freeways.

Here you can see downtown LA thru haze (& electrical pylons). DTLA is ~20 miles north of where the river terminates in San Pedro Bay

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy in front of the Hollywood/Pride station sign for LA Metro during a cloudy morning. The Creature is held up in the air by an off-camera arm, its body facing down at the camera. Behind it is the pride flag–decorated Hollywood/Vine station sign, which has been renamed and decorated for LA Pride.

I'm impressed that #StarTrek #DS9 was only about nine months and half a state off in their prediction about the Bell Riots.
I'm still holding out hope for their Irish Reunification prediction.

MSNBC reporter at the 1:15 mark.

“The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department.”

"3 mos ago 325,000 Serbians took Belgrade (some estimates had many more). That’s 5% of the pop taking on Serbian Pres Vučić's autocracy

If we show up similarly to protest our rubber-chicken #fascist, that's 17MM. How about 15MM of us do this? 𝐅𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍"

Photo of some Japanese foods on an outdoor concrete table at a park during noon. From left to right, the foods shown are strawberry-flavored Japanese matcha green tea from matcha LOVE, salmon and tuna nigirizushi, cherry blossom–themed lima bean mochigashi from Fugetsu-Do, and cherry blossom matcha cream–covered biscuit sticks from Pocky. Things are heavy here, but I took a moment to share lunch with some of my beloved's favorite foods and lasting memories. Two years gone, but love never leaves.

"Noem isn’t doing homeland #security. I’m not sure she knows its meaning. Like habeas corpus, which she thinks is an Ecuadorian offshoot of MS-13. Instead of safety and security, Noem’s turned the agency into the rabid attack dog she wanted Cricket to be"

If you're in the LA area on Saturday March 29 and you want to help build a better, more representative, multi-party democracy in California, please go to the ProRep Coalition's Rally for Democracy! I can't go because it's far and we don't have high speed rail. Yet.

Children of vendors in #LosAngeles are having to run the family business while their parents hide from #ICE monsters. Their community stands with them. 💔

In California, Trump has cast doubt on whether he will approve the $40 billion Gov. Newsom has requested to help pay for recovery costs associated with the LA fires, including $16.8 billion from FEMA to rebuild property and remove debris.

The Creature met an ancestor! 🦣 🦴 🏛️

Photo of Lety and the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy standing in front of a mastodon museum exhibit under warm, indoor lighting. From top to bottom, Lety is shown wearing a short, white, long-sleeve dress with red floral print and brown sandals. Her body is roughly facing the camera, the Creature in her arms, as she turns her and the Creature back towards her left to look up at the massive fossilized skeleton of an American mastodon. On the floor between Lety and the skeleton is an exhibit sign reading “American mastodon”, “(Mammut americanum)”, “2 million to 10,000 years ago”, with a map showing the species' historical range across North America and some other out-of-focus text. In the background are several other museum visitors viewing smaller fossil displays in glass cases along a back wall.

Department of Homeland Security called the supreme court decision a victory and vowed to continue to “flood the zone” in Los Angeles while accusing LA mayor Karen Bass of “protecting” immigrants. “DHS law enforcement will continue to FLOOD THE ZONE in Los Angeles. This decision is a victory for the safety of Americans in California and for the rule of law. DHS will continue to arrest and remove the criminal illegal aliens that @MayorOfLA is protecting,” read the social media post.

These fuckers speak in the cartoonishly evil style of Hollywood movie gestapo Nazis, and there's a reason for that. The groyper shitstains running their comms literally admire those characters as the "good guys".
