RIP Night Surgeon

So we're going to build a huge new coal plant while we are also building a LNG pipeline? That totally makes sense.

And the Pearl Creek APC is now suing the school district

The filing period for Alaska’s statewide races closed on Monday, setting up an expansive, 17-candidate field for the state’s next governor — and there’s just about someone for everyone. thealaskacurrent.com/2026/06/04/m...

And the Pearl Creek APC is now suing the school district

Updated Alaska legislative candidates list to include the number of candidates House: 29 Ds, 53 Rs, 29 Other Senate: 7 Ds, 16 Rs, 4 Other Total: 138 candidates

There goes beef and cattle ranching in the south

If screwworm is confirmed in Texas from the sample that was sent for analysis, I have a sneaking suspicion that the incompetent Brooke Rollins will be toast, keeping Trump’s rate of throwing women out of his Cabinet steady at 100%.

Pearl Creek Charter will not be opening this fall. The Pearl Creek APC filed a preliminary injunction, an emergency order for the preliminary junction, and relief in the nature of mandamus. That last one is to make the school district work with them to open their school this fall. 1/2

I had a couple students ask me about peptides in private this year. I teach human anatomy & physiology.

The biohackers subreddit banned all posts about peptides and HRT because peptide companies were spamming + manipulating the sub in order to manipulate Google AI and ChatGPT answers. Very insidious industry that is drastically changing the internet www.404media.co/companies-ar...

Punk-ass loser Nick Bilton fires Scott Pelley for daring to ask him questions: defector.com/punk-ass-los...

Wow. UAF students urge Gov. Dunleavy not to veto maintenance funding for the university. They say dorms have had to be evacuated due to mold, outdated elevators pose an entrapment risk & ADA requirements are not met. "We respectfully urge you to support UA students in this critical decision."

The two coolest guys in Fairbanks are facing off for HD32.

This is my 14 yr old lab but with hearing anyone that isn't me I love when animals show their own agency.

Mike Nelson and his robot pals are caught in the same old place Mike and the Bots: together again. Take a look. youtu.be/Vv5VCXxicPw

Frank was so scared of Joy Beth Cottle he's running for senate and letting his wife run for his house seat.

Sen. Robb Meyers, R-North Pole, will not run for re-election. #akleg

Tshibaka Dahlstrom Who else from the Dunleavy administration is gonna step on a rake?

Alcohol is tightly intertwined with academia. Faculty do a terrible job of modeling healthy habits. More activities/events should be alcohol free. Academia is not prepared for gambling addicts and steroid abuse. So many faculty really are just survivors of grad school.

Frosted frog has chorus frog as their logo and not the wood frog. Pacific chorus frogs are freeze-tolerant, but it's very limited in comparison to wood frogs. WTF!?

Good shandy! If only it came in a can like Leinie's. Found at Goldhill Liquor.

@thebluealaskan.com is continuing his coverage of the Pearl Creek Charter debacle. Great write up. He even included the complaint! www.thebluealaskan.com/fairbanks-sc...

Oops, 27 gallons, not 9 gallons. Someone mentioned it's over $9 per gallon in Dillingham and that is right. It was $250 to fill his tank. www.facebook.com/707219159/po...

Hey! I finally blocked out enough time to catch up on how (most) of the first full week of the #akleg special session on the pipeline is shaping up. While Dunleavy is taking the "What are ya, CHICKEN!" approach, most legislators are getting into the details and raising concerns about what's next.

Good. More athletes like Abdul Carter please. We have a platform - use it.

Dang! The Mat-Su Sentinel, the plucky local news start-up, just took over the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, the area's long-neglected legacy newspaper. Editor/Founder Amy Bushatz: "I just couldn’t stomach the idea of letting that legacy disappear or watching it pass to another outside owner."

how are a bunch of E3s supposed to afford hotels and travel to D.C.? Doesn't the Admin know they have F-150s purchased at 38% APR to pay off?

I hope she wasn't about to drive anywhere.

This with some apples and summer sausage

I'm sorry to see @ngreenfieldboyce.bsky.social was let go. She interviewed me back in December for this really cool piece on supercooled salamanders. www.npr.org/2025/12/27/n...

Stedman says there’s not much capacity in Alaska to shoulder overruns. Utilities are barred by the law from passing those along, but that’s the plan: “We sat in the governor’s conference room and were told point-blank that that’s how it was going to be financed, and that was just complete bs.”

🧵 Senate Finance is getting underway now. It’s their first hearing of the special session, and they’re scheduled to run through the rest of the week to continue reviewing the AKLNG project. (They ARE in Juneau.) 📺: www.ktoo.org/video/gavel/wa… #akleg

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

Throw in some fish or shrimp & he's as vegan as a Catholic during Lent.

Cut Josh Jacobs.

🧵 Hey! The second hearing of the #akleg special session on the governor's pipeline subsidy bill is getting underway with House Finance... and only now, as I'm opening the video feed, do I realize it's in Anchorage! 📺: www.ktoo.org/video/gavel/...

The "clean" athletes that won events were not clean. They are just much better at not getting caught or in the case of Fred Kerley not getting caught a second time. defector.com/the-enhanced...

Utqiaġvik, the Alaska Native village and northernmost city in the U.S., is one step closer to having a campus for Alaska’s only tribal college. For years, classes and programs have been held in buildings never intended for college. www.knba.org/news/2026-05...

Here's the Pearl Creek APCs views on the district lawsuit.

After a far more sentimental final floor session, the House has adjourned Sine Die, thus formally marking the end of the regular legislative session. They'll be back for a special session tomorrow, but it doesn't sound like things will be moving fast. #akleg

The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District has filed their case against the Pearl Creek Charter appeal.
