Yes, for real. Another unexplained monolith has been spotted, this time in Atascadero, California. The ever-familiar silver silhouette stands atop Pine Mountain, which is located between the Bay Area and Los Angeles. It closely resembles the first monolith found in Utah, but the haste at which it was seemingly placed mimics that of its Romanian counterpart.

According to The Astacadero News, the Californian monolith was not placed in the ground and, “could be knocked over with a firm push.” No news if someone indeed attempted to push it over, but the local news outlet estimates it weighs about 200 pounds.

This monolith is made of a stainless-steel like material and is highly reflective, says Astacadero News. It was first seen Wednesday morning in the Santa Lucia Mountain range by a group of local hikers. Ray Johnson, a regular hiker of the peak, told news outlets that the statue was not at the summit on Tuesday.

Throughout the day many more came to revel in its mystery. As is now monolith canon, no one has been able to explain how the monolith made it to Atascadero, let alone how it made it to the top of a 1,300-foot hill. Local officials are deciding what to do with the monolith, as it's not firmly placed in the ground and if pushed over, could be a hazard to those recreating on the paths below.

This third monolith has appeared just one day after the Romanian one disappeared from the top of Batca Doamnei Hill in the Romanian city of Piatra Neamţ. The one in Utah we now know was removed by a gang of slackliners who announced why they removed it on Instagram via Tik-Tok video.

The crew of climbers-gone-environmental TMNT decided there was too much foot traffic in the desert surrounding the statue. Siting the red rock’s delicate makeup, the crew decided it was time to put an end to the viral sensation.

“This land wasn’t physically prepared for the population shift (especially during a pandemic),” Sylvan Christensen wrote in his post. “People arrived by car, by bus, by van, helicopter, planes, trains, motorcycles and E-bikes and there isn’t even a parking lot. There aren’t bathrooms— and yes, pooping in the desert is a misdemeanor. There was a lot of that.”

The team can be seen dismantling the statue and hauling it away in the video, set to the Stranger Things theme song.

Violent street gang founded fraudulent nonprofit to solicit grants

Quote:
A vicious street gang responsible for murders and brutal assaults allegedly founded a fraudulent nonprofit to solicit grants and donations to fuel the members’ lifestyles, according to federal prosecutors.

Shanay Outlaw, aka Easy, with the help of other gang members, launched the charity D.A.E.M.P.I.R.E — Determined Adults Exceedingly Motivating Peers Into Responsible Entrepreneurs.

Outlaw and rapper Casanova, whose real name is Caswell Senior, are among 18 Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang members charged Tuesday with crimes ranging from murder and assault to cocaine trafficking and gun possession.
Quote:
“Your wife, me, everybody else, we need to get paid the correct amount of bread and the only way we going to do that is through donations and grants,” he allegedly said.

“And then your wife, she don’t have to worry about working and none of that. You ain’t got to worry about sh– like that no more.”

It’s unclear whether the gang ever obtained any grants or donations.

When white people do that it's just called a nonprofit.

Did nobody notice the acronym spells DA EMPIRE????
Reminds me of Alan B'Stard in the New Statesman:
Do I make the cheque out to the Christian Approach to Spiritual Handbooks? I don't think I can fit that.

Hmmm. It is a mouthful isn't it? Why not just put the initials: C.A.S.H?
