So Hulk Hogan, why are you a great candidate for the Administrative Assistant position? Hulk Hogan:

again this person once got so mad that the kids on his dorm floor were circulating a birthday card for a janitor that he wrote an entire column about how college kids should not be forced to "touch the animals" who live in the towns where schools are located. he is utterly triggered at all times.

My favorite thing about human beings is that we discover incredible things like life-changing medical breakthroughs. My least favorite thing about human beings is that instead of making them available to all who need them, we insist on selling them to one another.

fellas, it is "woke" to point out when the administration is violating most of the Bill of Rights

Anchorage folks, go see my mom in “Outside Mullingar” at Cyrano’s! She’s acting alongside Charlie Cardwell, who was in the cast of the 2009 play I co-wrote for Perseverance Theatre because that’s the Alaska theatre community in a nutshell www.americantheatre.org/2025/10/02/k...

My parents had so many friends who came back from Vietnam permanently traumatized (and many more who came back in coffins) and this is so deeply offensive to me My dad was also a draft dodger and he never would have bragged about how "easy" he would have won a war he didn't want to fight

4. Will Riker (Star Trek) 5. Scott Summers (Cyclops of X-Men) 6. Hooch (the liquor slang) . . .

To recap, Things That Got Their Start In Alaska include (but are not limited to): 1. Bob Ross 2. The Birdman of Alcatraz 3. Self-governance and self-determination in Indigenous healthcare 4. Ranch dressing NAME A BETTER STATE actually don't bother I'm muting replies before someone mentions her

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I don't care what they say, I enjoy it here

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.

October is here, which means it's time for the annual revisiting of my Autumn Foods Hot Takes. Part 1: Candy corn is terrible. Fight me. maiaknolan.com/candy-corn/

(This is more or less what That Government in 1930s Germany did but let's not toss around comparisons to That Particular Government, right?)

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

People like teachers and doctors and nurses are expected to de-escalate tense situations every single day without throwing people on the ground.

seven-year-old: “who’s voice is that” me: “Bob Dylan” 7yo: “is that yr friend” me: “no a singer” 7yo: “not a very good singer”

The absolute moxie of calling your business "Dr. J" and applying veneers and braces without a dental license and then telling the news "I've never pretended to be a dentist"? Impeccable. Beyond. 11/10 no notes. I hope her lawyer accepts payment in teeth whitening services.

I know the outrages are being delivered in a constant deluge through every pore and from every direction, but I am begging people to now more than ever READ PAST THE HEADLINE and actually absorb factual information about stuff

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

"We'll win" my sister in Christ it's a ten-minute concert during a football game

In the past 4 weeks in Chicago, ICE/CBP have snatched hundreds of people off the streets & homes, shot & killed a single-father in his car, smashed & abandoned countless cars, and deployed chemical munitions at protesters, journalists, & now on public streets. Today they cuffed an alderperson.

Honestly, if he's one-tenth as good at running a city as he is at social media...

yes i post about politics and taylor swift and sports and muppets. get you a girl who’s a human junk drawer.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

not a single news org signed. that's what it takes. stand together. everywhere, every time.

My fellow Jews: protect your heart and don’t read the replies to this post. My fellow allies: read all of these replies, internalize the antisemitism problem on the left, and start gathering your thoughts about how you will fight this vile rhetoric.

ICE is going to apartment buildings without a warrant, breaking down the door of literally every unit, zip tying & detaining everyone inside, & arresting people for things that have nothing to do with immigration. This is a 5 alarm fire. This is what a secret police force does.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Increasingly convinced that Stephen Miller was bullied as a child by a kid who happened to be Black and this is where it got us

I literally have seen someone posting on Twitter a version of Hamilton where Scarlett Johansson is in it. On top of this likely costing OpenAI a dollar a second to generate, they are potentially going to get sued into a fine paste by multiple different parties

Angel Reese was on a cereal box before she'd been off the bench fifteen minutes in the WNBA, but go on

Just sitting here reading this with my hands periodically flying to my mouth

"Portland looks like a war zone" yeah OK if you're talking about the war zone on Christmas Eve 1914 where a bunch of white guys who hadn't showered in six months got together on a field to play pickup soccer

Our senior military leadership was recalled from around the world on the literal eve of a government shutdown because it was critical that they listen to this in person

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The editor and nearly all reporters at the Homer News, Peninsula Clarion, and Juneau Empire announced their resignations after corporate management deleted content from a story about Charlie Kirk in response to a complaint from a Republican state lawmaker. www.juneauindependent.com/post/editor-...

I thought this said "thoughts and prayers" and was immediately worried about how far off the rails the American League could possibly have gone

The Crown Fountain is a wonderful installation in which water from two large columns which show faces of Chicagoans floods a court with an inch of so of water. When it opened, the city was surprised by how many families would come to let their kids splash in it. Including mine.

Reporters at the Carpenter Media Group-owned papers in Kenai have resigned: “Though this decision is extremely painful for all of us, it is not difficult. We cannot do our jobs knowing that pressure from an elected official can mean our stories are edited without prior consultation with us.” #akleg

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

The ICE Officer, Greg Bovino, who got a US Attorney in California fired with a phone call to the WH, is now leading his troops through downtown Chicago, looking for people who look illegal. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

If it's not a hologram of the Andrews Sisters why are we even bothering to relive the 1940s

More of this energy, please.

Cardinal McElroy at Mass for World Day of Migrants and Refugees: “We are witnessing an unprecedented assault on our nation…this assault is intended to make life miserable for undocumented migrants…our government is engaged in a comprehensive campaign of fear at its core.”
