But, but, it's worked so well for us here in Fairbanks... NOT! 🙄 I am sorry for Juneau. I hope for mitigation for the worst cuts!

Important to watch!

If this is how he reacts to the Virginia vote, let there be no doubt that he intends to cry fraud when his party loses the midterms.

why does it say IN GOD WE TRUST on everything when it should say WOMP WOMP

The faces of the judges!

OMG.

Reinbold v. Alaska Airlines, Inc., et al. is currently being heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals. She's representing herself.

Map centered on Alaska showing site-specific high temperatures (ºF) on Tuesday, April 21, 206. Plotted temperature range from -10F at Howard Pass to 56F at Klawock.

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Tuesday. Continued unseasonably cold on the North Slope southwest through Northwest Arctic Borough and the Bering Strait region. Southcentral and most of Southeast near normal. Kodiak Island again quite mild. #akwx #weather @climatologist49.bsky.social

Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

Same!! 🚫🧦🛏️

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

"POLIO IS NOT 'SITMAXXING'"

Philip Bump: How recent is America's past? Things that Americans think of as having long ago were, in fact, within the lifespans of most of us.

The thing about Palantir’s cultural chauvinism is also the thing about the anti-woke rejection of the effects of explicit racism. In each case, the victors often cheated — and not even a lifetime ago.

Splash screen for the post El Niño and Arctic Summers: Warmth favored in Alaska and the Atlantic Arctic

El Niño is on track to emerge in the equatorial Pacific Ocean in the next couple months. What (if anything) does this portend for the Arctic this summer? That's the topic for the latest post from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter. #Arctic #Climate

AIDEA will spend $700,000 of OUR STATE MONEY ON PUBLIC RELATIONS! 🤯🤯🤯Unbelievable waste and poor stewardship of public funds. If they really accomplished things Alaskans supported no P.R. would be necessary!
Dave Stieren is a stellar AIDEA spokesman, by the way!🙄

(Wood) has his own definite opinions on the matter. He, of course, has been close to the Nevada test site, and knows much more about the AEC than Patty did. ... Wood's philosophy is definitely that the use of atomic energy is important to the welfare of mankind... and that man is going to have to learn how to use it, and is going to have to take 'calculated risks' in its use. The notions that nuclear technologies represented a reality that people "had to learn to live with" and that "progress" involved acceptance of certain "calculated risks" were standard fare in Edward Teller speeches:

This argument sounds a lot like how AI is being promoted

From Dan O’Neill’s “The Firecracker Boys” (2007 edition, page 192)

“nuclear technologies represented a reality that people
"had to learn to live with" and that "progress" involved acceptance of certain "calculated risks"…

Pete Hegseth does not have a Ranger tab. I'm trying to find a way to express the comically preposterous nature of this to non-Army people and my brain keeps shorting out.

Imagine a non-doctor taking over HHS and then revoking the medical degrees of distinguished physicians. Something like that.

Americans should prepare to hide these people in attics and basements, like Jews in World War II. We owe it to them.

Superpower Suicide The geopolitics of our moment

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.

Not sure who to credit for this meme being widely shared up here…
