Regarding changes in our new rules of engagement and use of force policy for the US Military. If you know your movies, the bottom is not the flex you think it is. #fratbro #military #hegseth #johnwick #tropicthunder

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Rest in light to an amazing scientist Jane Goodall. She tirelessly worked for conservation and helped open up pathways and inspiration for many women scientists #janegoodall #womeninSTEM #RIP

With news of the government shutdown, we wanted to let YOU know that we are still here! One perk of taking our mission into the nonprofit sector, we still get to work toward our mission of keeping trusted climate information up to date and easy to find without the "politics" of government involved.

These two headlines are only separated by 4 days (top Oct 1st, bottom Sept 26) There's always a gift. #trumprx #medicine #tariffs #pfizer

In other regions of the U.S., some centers are expected to run out of money soon because the federal government has stalled funding and essential agreements with universities that the U.S. Geological Survey needs to manage the centers.

COVID virus still circulating in Alaska, while access to recommended vaccines varies, reports Yereth Rosen for the @alaskabeacon.com

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States has shut down, illustrating the fear among US Arctic researchers, says researcher Michael Walsh. www.highnorthnews.com/en/arcus-shu...

"... and now this. This... This ... this is an introvert"

We are fighting for the freedom to have time to build, to create, to love, and to live lives not of just survival, but of fulfillment and joy.

So that's fun... 😠 😡

One of the most interesting things I've heard about in education...if everyone knows who your state secretary of education is (and usually not in a good way), your state has major major problems.

From a great account Muppet History on Facebook. LOVE THE FIRST COMMENT. www.facebook.com/share/p/17HE...

“There is no joy more intense than that of coming upon a fact that cannot be understood in terms of currently accepted ideas." Astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who decoded spectral lines to deduce the elemental composition of stars, was born #OTD in 1900. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Harvard Observatory

I am a hard core introvert on personality tests (even though I love my job as a teacher). Why do all 3 of my Gen Alpha kids insist on voice calling and not texting me?

This is a surprisingly thoughtful interview with Alaskas lone representative in the House

As I was saying…

Since the shutdown of the NOAA website climate.gov, a group of people who worked on it has been creating an alternative, www.climate.us

This year's hunting regs had an interesting addition. #AlaskaLife

Winner of mRNA Nobel Prize says ACIP member’s claim that Covid vaccines persist is “absolutely impossible” In Q&A, Drew Weissman says vast literature shows Covid shots are safe, refutes claims from Retsef Levi www.statnews.com/2025/09/20/d...

Rural alaska schools may be at risk under this order too. Many use teachers from abroad. While some come under J1 visas, some come under H1B visas as i understand it. And many of these teachers are strikingly some the best teachers in their current districts. #alaska #ruralalaska #education #h1b

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

MIT Business Professor serving on the ACIP presented the working group recommendations that COVID-19 vaccines should be by prescription only by a physician. Thanks Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan, and Nick Begich! #akleg

This would basically mean no COVID vaccines in rural Alaska.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

The NAACP Anchorage branch declares a state of emergency over escalating hate and threats to our members and community members for speaking out in light of recent events and calls for the community to stand in solidarity with us to uplift and support marginalized voices and communities across AK.

A star trek quote posted for....um....no reason. #startrek #jimmykimmel #Kimmel #fcc

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

RIP Robert Redford One of my favorite films star him in his later years as a grizzled old Wyoming cowboy. Has an appropriate title considering Redford's outsized role in the film industry An Unfinished Life #Robertredford #Redford #rip

'Andor' wins the Emmy for Best Writing in a Drama Series

A man in Washington, DC, plays the Imperial March from Star Wars while following patrolling soldiers. One of the soldiers threatens to call the police.

We've all wondered over last years to months why the Congress GOP don't have a spine. They've been accused of everything from kompromat to fear of primaries. The truth is often far more simple. They're scared of the Tyler Robinsons. The regular Nazis are bad. The extra caffeinated ones are worse.

Feel like the post office flag has been permanently at half mast recently. #remembrance #flag

The evil that men do lives after them

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind. No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

The far right has been looking for a reason to commit mass political violence and it’s extremely important to unite around the principle that all political violence in America is unthinkable and unacceptable.
