Justine Paul was accused of killing his girlfriend, Eunice Whitman, in Bethel in 2015. In Alaska’s slow-motion criminal justice system, he spent seven years in jail awaiting trial for murder even as the evidence against him fell apart. (With @propublica.org) www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

It’s a winter wonderland! #akwx #Alaska

A Dunleavy appointee was arrested for possession of child pornography. Dr Ryan McDonough resigned last month from the Alaska state medical board. The board took up a draft regulation that would restrict transgender care. McDonough was on the board at the time. #akleg www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

@emonet.bsky.social and I have decided that this frozen shop vac pretty much sums up the State of the State. #akleg

When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who told you so.

Stealworkers

i mean i always got sort of a cloying, try hard energy from Jesse Welles but i had nothing rly concrete to criticize him about but then he did that song for Charlie Kirk and it clicked you’re a topical paparazzi you don’t reflect your times, you go out looking for heart strings to pull for cash

This is the way.

Man prompting AI sounds like too much work.

I am thankful that Patrick Mahomes lost today

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

What if Dems ran on sacrificing James Carville's human rights?

trans friends, spare yourselves this one probably you don't need to be re-traumatized today cis friends, read this with your eyes wide open like you're in a Clockwork Orange

Tech bros really can't understand why we're hostile to technology that a) is frequently confidently wrong and b) threatens to ruin our already terrible lives

Can't we fix this with some anti-bias training....oh even better, hire a Black chief. Oops. I guess not. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Big shoutout to Joe Geldhof and Angela Rodell for leading the charge to screw our children! Very cool stuff from very cool people! I wish retirement meant less civic involvement. Instead these weirdos are ramping up their boomer activism and we are paying the price.

This is so fucked up

A study published before ex-Typhoon Halong hit Western Alaska last month said there’s an $80 million-a-year gap in money needed to protect or move the state's coastal communities. (via Northern Journal) www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

It’s awesome to slowly see the folks on the right realize they’re surrounded by nazis they’ve invited into their tent despite being warned of it for over a decade…

Happy Zohran Day to those who celebrate!

This doesn't seem to have quite broken through into the shutdown discourse yet (unlike say SNAP). But as temperatures drop it's going to become a serious issue apnews.com/article/gove...

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

To take pressure off ATC, let's suspend all private jet flights. It's an issue of efficiency. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The dividing line between “working class” and “elite” seems to be education. Contractor with a high school diploma, two houses, fleet of F-150s and a boat? Working class. Barista with a BA who rides the bus? Elite.

There should be individual/single portion dispensaries in airports.

Took the Seattle tall ship, the Bay Lady, out VERY early this morning to escort the Norwegian vessel, Statsraad Lehmkuhl, into port for One Ocean Week. Worth the 5am alarm and frozen fingers.

Commentary - "An ‘orchestra from Hell’: A firsthand account of the Typhoon Halong flood," writes Jeron Joseph of Kwigillingok in a personal account of the storm, for KYUK and Northern Journal via @alaskabeacon.com

Age-based tax exemptions are evil. We should all contribute to our roads, schools, and entire communities for life. It’s circular. It’s what is right.

“To be brutally candid, due to the proactive cancellation of this grant, $20 million of hardworking U.S. tax dollars are currently sitting in the U.S. treasury instead of swept into the Kuskokwim River,” EPA press secretary Brigit Hirsch said. Monsters. #akleg

1. New York City Public Schools has announced that it will defy Trump's demands to ban trans students from bathrooms, funding threats be damned. Instead, it has launched a lawsuit against the admin and declared it will not throw trans students under the bus. Subscribe to support our journalism.

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Insane that Juneau allowed this POS cop who brutally assaulted a community member to keep his signing bonus after resigning in shame, then didn’t press charges, then tried to rehire him (unsuccessfully). Embarrassing stuff…

Before catastrophic floods swept through the Alaska Native village of Kipnuk on Sunday, the EPA canceled a $20 million grant intended to protect the community from extreme flooding. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/c...

Opinion | It's time to stop promoting people on the basis of their gender or race. by Bari Weiss and Clarence Thomas

This piece about Bari Weiss is devastating because it's relentlessly fair. DO NOT MISS. www.thebulwark.com/p/bari-weiss...

apparently “bari weiss doesn’t actually know what journalism is” extends to getting basic facts like the name of a subject right

People probably only accuse Bari Weiss of “wrongthink” because what she thinks about most stuff is wrong

Several Southeast tribes have passed resolutions calling for cleaner fuel, including the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe, the Organized Village of Kake, the Organized Village of Kasaan and the Ketchikan Indian Community.

Damn. Stay safe, northwest Alaska. Yet another reason why Congress rescinding public radio funds was a terrible, short-sighted action that will endanger Alaskans’ lives. These stations and the disaster updates they broadcast are an essential lifeline.

This is today! Come hang out with me and learn some stuff too! #akleg

Hey Juneau! Come on out tomorrow to this awesome town hall tomorrow after work - I’d love to see you there.

Good lord. These election results for Juneau are GRIM. Like, how on earth is a person who can read words voting yes-yes-no on the ballot measures??!! We deserve everything that’s happening and will happen to us.

If the great Charlie Kirk were alive today, he would probably be bravely filming an argument with a college sophomore at a mid-major in rural Indiana, thinking about how he was going to edit it later to make it seem like he won. This is what we lost. You cowards took him from us. The master debater.

SECOND “HEY JUNEAU” OF THE DAY: GO VOTE. PLEASE. AND VOTE AGAINST BALLOT MEASURE 1!!!!

Hey Juneau! Come on out tomorrow to this awesome town hall tomorrow after work - I’d love to see you there.

Ezra Klein is the absolute moral cowardice that we collectively deserve in this moment

Guys. We should be kind when we speak about people like Charlie Kirk, David Duke, and Adolf Hitler. They’re complicated men. And there are those who love them that we need to respect. I hope you can be a little more polite when speaking to their neverending hatred and bigotry.

#akleg The governor indicates that he prefers a comprehensive fiscal plan while serving as the main obstacle to a comprehensive fiscal plan.
