Major ugh

I am so angry and sad about this. Draconian staff cuts at KYUK in Bethel are an incalculable loss for the region and indeed all of Alaska. #AlaskaSky #PublicRadio

These fucking ghouls

📌I was wondering what was taking Trump so long to lie he wanted the Epstein Files released knowing full well, he has absolutely no intention of releasing them. He could release them RIGHT NOW if he wanted to, and I swear to GOD, I can't believe the media is paying this fucking game with him AGAIN.

Gorgeous evening today in Anchorage, Alaska.

With the news of a new SharkNado movie coming soon, please enjoy my retrospective on the history, and shockingly large cultural legacy, of the SharkNado franchise.

It's just not Countdown to Christmas season without the Brenner brothers. In the third movie of the popular series we learned a lot about Luke, Taylor and Stephen. This movie was even better than the last one. Our review - https://fangirlish.me/4pcbuzk

Sen. Dan Sullivan voted for this bill and praised himself. He had nothing to say about the $500,000 gift for himself in the bill, claiming it was a surprise. Sullivan now has spokeswoman Amanda Coyne say that Sullivan won’t accept the gift he voted for. www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

Im paying way more now for basics than I did in 2021.

If you've earned student debt cancellation—after over 20 years of payments—you could get hit with a MASSIVE tax bill. The Trump Administration should stop this “tax bomb” for working-class families NOW.

For once we're not totally over casted ! Hello pretty lights #Alaska #NorthenLights

Ppl need to understand what's happening here. The GOP response to the shutdown was: You're gonna cave, or we're going to hurt vulnerable people by shutting off SNAP. The Dems, unwilling to let that happen, caved. Having watched that, the GOP is now saying: "Give us what we want on abortion or ..."

As much as we love Oscar Isaac in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, it's Jacob Elordi's monster that steals the show. Read our review HERE: https://fangirlish.me/4n1NHBJ

This article is not only interesting it’s also very informative & educational. There’s an abundance of history carved into Totem Poles. You won’t regret reading this. “Beyond kinship, monumental poles serve as historical archives that record treaties, migrations, conflicts, debts, and disasters.”

What do you think has been on Earth longer - sharks or trees? You might think trees have been around for a long time, but sharks have been here even longer! See how sharks have survived and thrived through all five of Earth’s mass extinction events in this week’s Surprising Science.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Trump on SNAP: “Our country has to remain very liquid because of problems, catastrophes, wars… We have to remain liquid. We can’t give everything away.” REMINDER: Trump just have $40 billion away to Argentina.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

When disaster strikes, public school buildings are integral as safe havens in hundreds of predominantly Indigenous villages scattered across Alaska’s vast landscape. But rural schools have been neglected for decades. (From KYUK - Bethel)

Happy #FossilFriday! Here's an *enormous* ichthyosaur skull from the Triassic of Nevada, USA. This one might be a new species? I was lucky enough to see this at an awesome temporary ichthyosaur exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno a couple months ago. Highly recommended

ICYMI, I wrote about the Florida Safer Seas Act, which would ban SCUBA divers from chumming for sharks in Federal waters off Florida. www.scubadiving.com/will-banning... 🧪🌎🦑🦈

#akleg I'd be interested in an Alaskan journalist digging into this further. The report shows Exxon donations to Atlas Network going to fund The Alaska Policy Forum, was that also used specifically for misinformation purposes?

Sunset and some faint northern lights. Been a good day. #Alaska

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children: I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

For the past 4 years I have worked with a wonderful team of scientists and anglers to track sharks in recreational fisheries. With close to 70 tags deployed, we found that good angling practice can result in pretty high survival for sharks! 🦈🎣🌊

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

The Trump shutdown cut off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits this weekend, leaving millions of families short of what they need to put food on the table. If you have the means, one thing you can do to help is donate to a local food bank. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

This story keeps getting worse. www.latimes.com/california/s...

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Journalist friends, please, banish "scientists are baffled" from your vocabulary. In this article, the scientists clearly explain what happened. No one is baffled. It's sad but not the slighest bit baffling.

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
