Against all odds, what originally started out as a tiny artisanal coffee shop, Angie and Daniel Kim’s Interstellar in Santa Monica has evolved into an all-day cafe with three diverse menus reflecting the couple’s multicultural backgrounds. Oh yeah, and then there’s the pup menu of handmade dog food for fur babies.The husband and wife team of Korean descent met at a class at Santa Monica College in 2011, while both were trying to navigate who they were in a city they found that finally embraced diversity.“I came to the U.S. when I was about two years old and spent my childhood in Seattle,” Angie tells L.A. Weekly in the cafe that features moody textural green tones, gradient wallpaper and sleek green marble table tops and black oak finishes. ‘It was a little bit of a struggle back then,” says the soft spoken and diminutive culinary school graduate. “It was a time when a lot of Asian immigrants were trying to adapt and create something for themselves.

ROYAL OAKS — A dilapidated greenhouse at a Northern California nursery was home to dozens of farmworkers and their families who were living in tiny and unsafe dwellings without ventilation, authorities said Friday.Officials found 62 makeshift dwellings inside the greenhouse on a property in rural Monterey County that were put together with plywood, sheetrock and other materials, said Nick Pasculli, a county spokesperson.“There are exposed gas lines and wiring, no proper sewer.

Liz Truss calls for deeds, not words, from West on China ahead of Taiwan visit

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 00:04:29 GMT

LONDON — “More action” from the West is needed to combat China, Liz Truss warned Monday ahead of a controversial trip to Taiwan this week.In an interview with POLITICO’s editor-in-chief, Jamil Anderlini, at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, Truss defended her decision to visit Taiwan Tuesday, arguing the self-governing island’s government invited her. Truss, who was U.K. foreign secretary before entering No. 10 Downing Street, is one of the ruling Conservative Party’s most strident China hawks. She will arrive in Taiwan Tuesday as the first former prime minister to visit the territory since Margaret Thatcher in the 1990s.China views self-governing Taiwan as its territory and has said it is committed to reclaiming it — though the U.S. President Joe Biden has promised to arm and defend the island in the event of an invasion. Defending her visit, Truss argued that it is “very important” the West engages with the island.“The reason I’...

How Turkey’s Erdoğan uses social media to cling onto power

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 00:04:29 GMT

In his campaign to hold onto Turkey’s presidency, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has a secret weapon: a social media crackdown partly inspired by Europe.As the country heads toward a run-off between Erdoğan and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, his reform-minded rival, the Turkish leader’s increasing control of social media has become another tool to help him extend his 20-year reign. Over the weekend, Erdoğan’s government ordered Twitter to block the accounts of roughly a dozen local opposition public figures over the weekend — a move that triggered a backlash against Elon Musk for complying with the directive. In truth, Erdoğan’s efforts to control social media go back more than a decade.That push culminated in October when Turkey’s ruling party passed wide-ranging social media rules that, in part, mirrored similar legislation recently passed in the European Union. Both the Turkish and European regimes aim to clamp down on harmful online posts, stop the spread of disinf...

BRUSSELS — Microsoft on Monday won European Union approval for a $69 billion gaming deal that the United Kingdom has already vetoed.Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said Microsoft’s offer to license Activision Blizzard’s games for cloud gaming for the first time would “kickstart the market.” The European Commission and the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had a “difference in the assessment of what will happen in cloud gaming,” she said, with the U.K. seeing Microsoft’s share of cloud gaming growing far faster.“We don’t see everything the same way as other jurisdictions,” she told reporters at a briefing Monday. “We’ve been working very closely with the CMA and with colleagues” from the U.S. antitrust authorities and “we will sometimes come to diverging conclusions … this will happen once in a while.”The U.K. merger watchdog blocked the deal in April because...
