Thursday night the moon rose already bitten. Over Los Angeles it climbed out of the southeast just after 7:18 p.m., a pale disk with a dark notch already eating its edge. By 9:13 p.m. nearly all of it had slipped into Earth's shadow. Ninety-six percent of the face vanished into the umbra, and what remained glowed the color of old copper and dried blood. Clouds kept arriving in ragged sheets. Griffith Observatory canceled the lawn viewing hours earlier, citing heavy cover and...
On a late-August Saturday in Downtown Santa Monica, the city's premier indoor public amenity performed its most honest civic function yet: it stopped pretending the air was conditioned. The Main Library at 601 Santa Monica Boulevard has spent years on the municipal highlight reel as a "cooling center."

The ad features two people in conversation and the claim that “92% of the people we hou...
Updated Saturday, August 29, 2026--A glacial collapse on the Nepal–Tibet border has killed at least 633 people by the latest combined tallies, and more than 2,400 remain missing. If a large share of the missing are later confirmed dead, the final toll could reach 15,000 to 25,000. That range may still be low if official figures from the Chinese side of the border understate what happened at Gyirong Port. Nepal's death count has kept climbing. A Friday report from the N...
