About the Altadena Boys
Cultural classes (altadenalibrary.com)
What began with one child's generosity has grown into a movement. When Samantha Mora shared the story of boys affected by the Eaton Canyon fires with his 8-year-old son Logan, the response was immediate:

"He can have my Xbox and PC!" That selfless moment sparked a realization: if one child were willing to give his prized possessions to help another, how powerful could a community-wide effort become?

On January 12, @AltadenaBoys was born with a simple Instagram post. By January 17—just five days later—it hosted its first pop-up donation event, proving that the community was ready to rally behind boys in need.

What began as a response to a specific crisis has evolved into a broader mission to support boys' well-being throughout our community. Website: altadenaboys.com

Jewel heist at the Louvre, France


What we worship: Monas over mountains
(Channel 4 News) No one cared about the Mona Lisa until someone stole it in 1911. Then it became famous, was recovered, became subjected to the Mandela Effect, and grew in fame every year since, until an entire wall then room became dedicated to it. When we visited, the rooms were beautiful, even the halls were grand, but the mob in front of this one painting was ridiculous. At that time it could still be photographed, but taking a photo of the photographers seemed more appropriate.


Now it has a shield and guards, and goodness knows it's probably not the original, just a forgery with the real thing in a safe somewhere. The Louvre's security is behind the times, possibly because Pres. Macron's husband (and the couple's ridiculous fight with American Candace Owens about gender) and the riots in the streets are sucking all the oxygen and discretionary funds that should be applied to keeping the imperial booty and irreplaceable treasures in this pyramidal repository safe.
