3/111/21: "Man Overboard!" came the 3:30 am call on the loudspeakers of the Carnival Miracle cruise ship off the coast of Baja California. A woman fell or was pushed from the 5th floor, and fell into the Pacific ocean. A fall from that height would ordinarily result in injury. If the person was not pulled out of the water quickly enough, hypothermia would set in. Passengers were in the midst of a three-day voyage from the Long Beach Cruise Terminal to Ensenada. “Someone has l...
Elon Musk would be proud. In a show of support to send the crypto currency "to the Moon," the Santa Monica Pier will display the Shiba Inu dog that represents Dogecoin in lights on the Ferris Wheel. The Ferris wheel is part of Pacific Park, the amusement park on the Santa Monica pier. The Pier is 111 years old, and is a symbol of Los Angeles and of Santa Monica. Doge is an Internet meme that became popular in 2013. The meme typically consists of a picture of a Shiba Inu dog...
2/1/22: I've never really warmed up to Whoopi Goldberg. Aside from culturally appropriating my own ethnicity (her real name is Karen Henry); she just isn't that funny. She also walks with a heavy helping of self righteousness. She speaks about topics of which she has no particular knowledge. Nowhere was that more evident than when she said that the Holocaust in WWII was not a reflection of Racism, because it was white people killing other white people. Anyone who has read...
Astronomers think it might be a remnant of a collapsed star, either a dense neutron star or a dead white dwarf star, with a strong magnetic field -- or it could be an artificial lighthouse, warning space ships away from some danger. Radio astronomers report that they have found a signal from space unlike anything observed by Earthmen before. It has been likened to "a celestial lighthouse" by astronomers. While mapping radio waves across the universe, astronomers happened upon...
The Under Doge, a woman who lives in Atlanta, GA, claims to have seen Sasquatch waiting in line to buy beef jerky at BJ's Market. The crypto creature did not actually speak to anyone. But who speaks to anyone in line anymore? "People go their whole lives looking for the big guy in the woods when all they had to do was get a bjs membership! Who knew?" reported the Under Doge. She has 28,000 followers, and the tweet has 221 likes. Was he wearing a mask? Did he have proof of...
If you didn't get that laptop you ordered on Amazon, I think I can explain why. A video posted to twitter shows men looting a freight train as it stops in a Chicago rail yard. This problem which has recently come to light in Los Angeles, appears to be affecting other rail yards in other towns as well. It is one of the causes of the supply chain crisis in the United States. A crowd of men loot a freight train in Chicago in a video posted by @ronmilnerboodle, which may be seen...
I am often skeptical of reports like this one, but it comes with video that just can't be ignored. A pilot believes he saw a series of UFOs while flying over the Pacific Ocean. He captured a video clip of the 12 lights, apparently rotating and moving at high velocity. The clearest UFO video in years shows 12 lights moving in formation at high velocity. In the video, the pilot can be heard saying: "I do not know what that is. That is some weird s**t. That is something flying."...
Update: A spokesman for the MTA denies that this incident ever took place. However, it was described on the LAPD scanner, sources say. Well, it's not the first ever. But it is the first in a really long time. In a scene out of an old western movie, thieves in downtown Los Angeles have blocked a train from moving, and robbed the passengers. This was reported in a tweet from @downtownlascan. "Possible robbery of a train in progress. Suspects stopped the train and has multiple...
Actor Bob Saget was found dead in a hotel room in Orlando on Sunday, according to authorities. The cause of death is under investigation, but no foul play is suspected. Twitter wants to know why they won't release the cause of death. The twitter mob suspects they don't want us to know his death was caused by his recent vaccination. "Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room. The man was...
A sign in the window of the United Parcel Service store at 1223 Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, reports that the store is closed due to an outbreak of Covid-19 among the staff.

A concert at Santa Monica High School intended to thank Dr Barbara Ferrer for her work on Covid, has been cancelled due to the rise in Covid cases. Ferrer famously has lead Los Angeles County through the widely unpopular lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates. She's not a real doctor; her PHD is in Equity of Communities. She is reviled on the right and adored on the left. Press release cancelling the concert reads: On the eve of Jacaranda's announcement of its plan to honor LA...
With Covid-19 case counts exploding in Los Angeles County and across the U.S., schools are mostly still planning to reopen.

It does say the school is monitoring the situation and will regard a school closure "as a last resort and considered only after all av...

She was 99 years old. Her heart simply stopped, which happens to the very elderly, if they live long enough. “Everyone felt that they knew her, the community loved her” said one of her neighbors, Genie Woolf speaking on KNX.

A navy crew that is 100% vaccinated against Covid-19, has been sidelined due to an outbreak of Covid-19. The USS Milwaukee, with 125 men on board, is now confined due to the coronavirus outbreak to the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Cuba, reports the Washington Post.

In yet another sign of inflation, U.S. automobile dealers are adding premiums of up to $50,000 on new cars. This is on top of the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price. A photo posted on Facebook shows a 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 TRX for sale for an MSRP of $94,370. An anti theft option and other options, add $4,480. A "Market Adjustment" adds another $50,000, so you're out the door for $148,000. Plus tax and license, which would take you to about $165,000 out the door. Or about the...
Fighting a rise in Covid 19 infections and desperate to keep numbers down, the State of California will soon require household pets to wear facemasks in public. Simultaneously, Mask vs. Anti Mask is trending on Twitter. The pro mask case: Why do doctors wear face masks? To protect you from their germs. So obviously it has some positive effect. The anti maskers reply that jurisdictions with masks requirements, i.e. California, have not done better than Texas or Florida in...
Apparently a starbucks in Los Angeles has taken the gender neutral bathroom movement to a whole new level. A sign on the door and also above the sink, tells patrons they are welcome whether they are men, women or well, space aliens. "Usually, i think so yeah. I feel like most of the time this is someone trying to be "hip" by saying look, you're welcome here regardless of gender identity -- but it just does so in an icky way without really realizing it," said one patron. The...
As the scale of destruction from this weekend's tornado event in Southwestern Kentucky becomes clear, the number of deaths could rise past the United States modern record of 330 deaths set in 1972. A path of tornadoes 200 miles wide may also break a record. About 417 "severe storm reports" were received by the National Weather Service, a record for one event. Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee were all impacted by the disaster. The 219-mile-long Tri-state Tor...
A Chinese lunar rover operating on the dark side of Earth's moon, has discovered an object the size and shape of an ancient Egyptian obelisk. The Chinese space agency has released a photograph of the object. The rover is still 70 meters from the object, and it is not clear whether or not its surface is inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphics. But it seems likely. Did the ancient Egyptians visit the dark side of the moon? Or did they form an alliance with extra-terrestrials, as E...
NASA has released video from the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, complete with audio. Nasa has tried to record Martian sound before, but the audio is clear and well, haunting. It may be seen at this link: https://twitter.com/MAstronomers/status/1464347796933328900?s=20 The Martian atmosphere is 1/90th as thick as the air on Earth. It is mostly carbon dioxide as opposed to our planet's oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere. There is water vapor present too, much less than on...
A paper published today at Phys.org, suggests that the cylindrical meteor or other object that passed through the solar system in 2017, may not have had a natural origin. The paper is entitled "Not saying it was aliens, but 'Oumuamua probably wasn't a nitrogen iceberg." Written by Matt Williams of Universe Today, the paper disagrees with the theory that the object was nitrogenous debris from the outer solar system. A long excerpt is below. Other evidence for Oumuamua being a...
Why does anyone show up to watch a Travis Scott concert? I mean, the dude has a history of exhorting violence at his concerts. We'll get to that in a moment. As a 10th victim of the Astroworld tragedy died Friday, Rapper Travis Scott said in a statement that he would pay all funeral costs "and provide other help to victims of this tragedy." Actually, the statement was written by crisis management PR people, but that's typical in such circumstances. The Statement is below. At...
NASA is in final preparations to send the Artemis Spacecraft around the moon in February. The craft will be unmanned, but will be followed in 2023 by a manned mission to the moon. They will actually land on the moon by July of 2025. NASA could move up their moon landing if they had just $5.9 billion more from Congress. Without it, they may be beated to Earth's companion in space, by the Chinese space program. Or even worse, by Elon Musk. Needless to say, NASA has gone fully...
