Get out your flower crowns, ladies, it's that time of year! That's right, Coachella just released their festival lineup for 2019. It's a hefty one, featuring Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino, and Tame Impala as headliners. While a weekend in the desert sounds fun (and sold out) we might be enjoying these parodies from Twitter and Instagram a little more than an army of hipsters on MDMA.

3D printing has really taken off in the past few years. What started off small scale is now expanding to being able to print rockets. Not just parts - entire rockets. That's what the folks over at Relativity Space have been working on, and they may just revolutionize the rocket industry - both on Earth and in space. If things go well, the startup is hoping that their AI will be able to oversee the building of rockets on Mars. Life is starting to sound a lot like science fiction...
Not everyone is happy with the election results from last night — in fact, a solid half of the country really doesn't like it very much at all. But two states are already forming a plan. Californians and New Yorkers on Twitter are calling for a California Exit (Calexit) and a New York Exit (NYexit), respectively, which would see them both seceding from these United States.
Does that mean they're taking Disneyland with them? The Statue of Liberty? Yes. Yes, it does.

The headline speaks for itself. All we know is Fashion Valley did not hold up to its infamous standards for this poor guy. CBS 8 captured gold.

The truth is out there...on Facebook. Where everything is true, duh!
Over the weekend, there was a UFO in Los Angeles that freaked everyone out. The government says it was a missile test, but surrrrreeeee it was.
Do you want proof that aliens visited California? Well, here it is. This strange two-legged deformed thing from San Jose was posted on Facebook and Reddit the night of the UFO sighting.
If someone tells you the UFO over Los Angeles was just a government missile test, just show them these photos that are definitely not of a deformed animal fetus and definitely are of an alien creature.
What do we think this creature is?
Two words: Jersey Devil.

You can stop stringing up those lights and nailing that Santa to your roof, because this street officially wins Christmas.
A stretch of more than 16 homes in Yucaipa, Calif. coordinated their holiday displays, which light up to music, and the entire show is being captured via drone.
"The Manning Street Christmas Music Light Show", as it is called, runs daily, and people in the area can park their cars and tune into 92.5 FM to experience it.
Coordinator Jeff Maxey uploaded a few different demo videos to his page. In addition to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" (above), watch the homes perform "Wizards in Winter" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

New information has come to light in Hello Kitty's plans for total world domination.
The innocent-looking cartoon kitten has penetrated nearly every potential market (she even has her own AK-47) and now the first Hello Kitty Cafe in the United Stated is coming to Orange County, CA, according to LAist.
The cafe is scheduled to open in the summer of 2015, and until that then - if you just really, really need your Hello Kitty fix - there is a mobile truck available for private parties, that serves pastries like donuts and macarons.
Next up: Hello Kitty Ebola vaccines!

The mock store, which quietly opened Friday, is nearly identical to a typical Starbucks location, with tumblers for sale and trendy CDs, including "Dumb Jazz Standards," displayed on the counter.
But the similarities end there. Drinks here are served in green and white "Dumb Starbucks coffee" cups, while pastries are pulled from display cases straight from their Vons' packaging.
The menu features "Dumb Iced Coffee," "Dumb Frappuccinos," and a seasonal "Wuppy Duppy Latte."
Update: Dumb Starbucks was found out to be a stunt by Nathan Fielder for the Comedy Central show "Nathan for You".
