[Mount Wilson Observatory @MtWilsonObs]

Due to continued unsafe (but pretty!) conditions on the mountain, the Observatory will remain closed until further notice — we hope to open the grounds, the Cosmic Cafe, and start our weekend tours soon! We will post the opening date here and on the website as soon as possible.

[Mount Wilson Observatory @MtWilsonObs]

Due to continued snowy conditions we are delaying the opening of the Cosmic Cafe & Docent-Led tours at the Observatory. Cafe will be closed this weekend & no docent tours will be held. We hope to be able to announce a rescheduled date very soon!

The board pres of the TX Democracy Foundation, which publishes @TexasObserver, released a statement minutes ago saying the board unanimously voted to rescind layoffs after staff raised $290k+ in 2 days. Laura Hernandez Holmes also said she was resigning from her role on Friday.

In the wake of newsroom cuts, we're encouraged by the work of nonprofit local news outlets that embrace sustainable revenue strategies that invite philanthropic funders and community supporters to invest in a shared vision for public service journalism. https://t.co/1n5wWASUAS

Strong flow of Eaton Wash at #EatonCanyon in #Pasadena today.

@Davidlaz Billy Batson (Captain Marvel) talked his way into a job as an on-air radio reporter at station WHIZ. Also, Kara Danvers was a journalist by day, Kara "Supergirl" Zor'El by night.

@Davidlaz @KTLA I've never purchased a beer, they've all been short-term rentals.

@MyEatonCanyon Dacrymyces chrysospermus occurs on decorticated conifers. Was this on a pine? If not, then it's more likely Tremella aurantia, the common witch's butter. The two species look nearly identical.

Really fun and the event supports Union Station Homeless Services. What's not to like?

ATTN: ASPIRING YOUNG FILMMAKERS
As I enter my 35th yr as a #BBCNews camerawoman, I feel an urgent need to pass on my experience to the next generation. If I was to set up a free webinar in early 2023, who would be interested in attending. Please like to vote YES & please share.

[My Eaton Canyon @MyEatonCanyon]

It's a gorgeous time of year in the canyon! The weather service calls for highs near 80°F this weekend.

Consider hiking at other local trails like Rubio Canyon or Bailey Canyon to lessen the crowds at Eaton Canyon.

[LA Press Club @LAPressClub]

The @LAPressClub condemns the actions of #Twitter and owner @elonmusk for arbitrarily shutting down the accounts of several #journalists, including #reporters at @nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN

@edgarrmcgregor That photo also shows the now gone barns at the equestrian center. All that remains today is an outdoor exercise paddock. The rest is now used for Eaton Canyon overflow parking.

[My Eaton Canyon @MyEatonCanyon]

A large rockslide on the Mount Wilson Toll Road in Eaton Canyon this morning highlights the dangers of hiking in heavy rain.

It's not just flash flooding: Rocks can fall on your head and block escape points in slot canyons.

The Eaton Canyon waterfall is closed today.
