Everyone knows Shohei Ohtani's image is ubiquitous in Japan. But one of the Militant's operatives is there right now and just sent a pic of Yama getting his own share of endorsement revenue. #Dodgers

Do you miss hanging out at Union Station for a beer and some pub grub? OC's Everywhere Beer Co. plans to open up a brewery/taproom in the former Fred Harvey restaurant space (last used by Homebound Brewery) later this year! whatnow.com/los-angeles/...

What's the first Los Angeles restaurant you ate at for the first time in 2026?

More video from the Smoking Deaths reset party last night: They actually did this when the Smoking Deaths count increased from 6 to...7. 🤦🏽‍♂️ #SixSeven #WestLA #HappyNewYear2026

#HappyNewYear, Los Angeles! #WestLA #HappyNewYear2026

The Militant made it to the SE corner of Santa Monica Bl & Veteran Av for the Smoking Deaths Billboard Reset! His first time here! It resets to 0 at the stroke of midnight! There are roughly 100 crazies (incl. The Militant) here! #NewYearsEve #WestLA

The Militant is considering going to the annual Smoking Deaths billboard count reset at Santa Monica Blvd & Veteran Ave in #WestLA...

WELL THIS SUCKS. The Militant was all ready for his annual Angels Flight Final Rider of the Year tradition when they done put Sinai and Olivet away for 2025 at 9:31 p.m. Disappointing & unfair. Just like 2025 (except for the #Dodgers championship). Happy 124th B-day anyways.😥 #DTLA #NewYearsEve

124 years ago #OTD, Angels Flight Railway opened at its first location on 3rd & Hill streets to serve the former residential neighborhood of Bunker Hill. It was dismantled in 1969 due to #DTLA redevelopment and was rebuilt in its current configuration on 4th & Hill in 1996.

2025 through the eyes of The Militant Angeleno, one photo per month:🧵

People at 11:59:50 p.m. tonight: TEN! NINE! EIGHT! SEVEN! SIX! SEVEN! SIX SEVEN! SIX SEVEN! SIX SEVEN! SIX SEV... We will never get to see 2026 now. #NewYearsEve #NewYear2026

The Militant visited #Pasadena's Upper Hastings Ranch neighborhood on Tuesday night to check out their 74-year tradition of holiday light displays. Just days after their 73rd year, the #EatonFire destroyed 80 homes there. This year, in lieu of a display, a star memorializes a lost home.

Watching all these "2025 Year In Review" specials, and realizing THIS was the only thing this year that was worth remembering:

THIS IS *HALF* OF THE LINE TO THE DASH BUS GOING BACK... ...TIME FOR PLAN B... #GriffithPark

WHO HERE FEELS LIKE A LITTLE KID AGAIN WHEN YOU SEE THIS?

Lemonade...that cool, refreshing drink...

The Militant has been here like a quadrillion times, but damn...for the past 90 years, we really have been blessed to have a place like this. #GriffithPark

Would've been a sweet view of that launch...

Took ONE HOUR, FIVE MINUTES to get up here from Vermont/Sunset via the DASH bus. Oh well then...time to make some lemonade. 🍋🍋🍋 #GriffithPark

UPDATE: LAUNCH SCRUBBED AGAIN Next launch opportunity TBA.

The Militant is gonna switch it up and watch tonight's rocket launch from the Griffith Observatory instead of his front yard! The LADOT Transit Observatory DASH takes you there from the @metrolosangeles.bsky.social (B) Line Vermont/Sunset station! #EastHollywood #LosFeliz

Just how much rain fell during the 2025-2026 Water Year (which began Oct 1)? Dude...we got over 2 1/2 TIMES the normal amount of rainfall, and just 3" shy of the TOTAL amount of precipitation (that's 14") in a normal Water Year (Oct 1 - Sep 30)! But wait, there's more! #LARain

If you've been following The Militant for a while, live in or near Central Los Angeles and are free after 5 p.m., DM him if you're interested in participating in a little social experiment this evening (Sunday, Dec. 28).

Sunny Day, sweepin' the...clouds away... A view of the #DTLA skyline, plus snow on the San Gabes from #ViewPark! #BaldwinHills

The Militant rode the @metrolosangeles.bsky.social (B) Line three times today, and every train was a Yellowbabe (a.k.a. HR4000)!

UPDATE: LAUNCH DELAYED TO SUNDAY, DECEMBER, 28. SAME LAUNCH TIME WINDOW.

#DTLA's Original Pantry Cafe closed in March after over 100 years of service, but in September, the iconic diner announced a re-opening under new mgmt for Dec 31. With 5 days to go, their social media remains frozen in time & their website still bears a "Temporarily Closed" splash page.

Looks like the rain will take #Christmas Day afternoon off and get back to work this evening. So if you want to go outside to enjoy the holiday, you got until around 7 p.m.! Do bring rain gear JIC if it starts to drizzle. #LARain

Read the headsign on the @metrolosangeles.bsky.social bus as, "FREE FRIES TODAY" 🍟 Srsly was gonna ask Metro where we could redeem the offer at. #SouthLA #Christmas #MerryChristmas #MerryChristmas2025

Merry Crismatt! (¡Feliz Nabil-dad!) #Dodgers #MerryChristmas

#MerryChristmas, Los Angeles! #LARain #FlashFlood #JustLikeTheOnesWeUsedToKnow

When you've shaved off 90% of the tread on your tires doing donuts...and now you gotta drive in the rain for the next 4 days. #LARain

A rare High Risk has been issued: "This will pose a significant threat of flash flooding, landslides, rock falls & mud slides. The greater than normal travel during the Christmas Holiday will potentially expose a larger number of people to these life threatening hazards." -NWS Forecast Discussion

Native plant shopping at Los Nogales Nursery in #MontecitoHeights (across the 110/Arroyo Seco from #HighlandPark) before the big rains! It's run by Theodore Payne Fndtn & Audubon CA and is also @metrolosangeles.bsky.social (A) Line-accessible (Southwest Museum station)! #NELA #NativePlants

#HighlandPark #NELA

The Militant had to attend to some family business in North SD County today, on way back returned to #OC to dine at House of Mandi Yemeni restaurant 🇾🇪 in #Anaheim's #LittleArabia on Brookhurst St! First time here; food is sooo goood!

Had to drop off some family at LAX tonight. The "Tule-LA" fog, mostly south of the 10, is THICC! The fog is dispersing the illumination of streetlights and lighted building signs in all sorts of interesting, theatrical ways.

A candidate for a local office, running in the 2026 Los Angeles city municipal elections reached out to The Militant asking to have chat with him. The Militant isn't crazy about the incumbent AT ALL, but this candidate DEFINITELTY ain't it either...
