Been stuck in traffic northbound Minnesota for half an hour …

Thank you @adn.com for publishing my obituary for perhaps the most beloved bear in the world: the late, great, king 480 Otis.

How many old fire department training towers are in Anchorage? Where are they?

I personally know one nurse who already moved and another who's working on it.

Print won’t last forever but for now it still warms my cold heart to see a story on the racks

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has said again and again that the state government would work with Alaska Natives to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. BUT…the state is refusing to release lists of Indigenous murder victims. @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social

NEW: Alaska publishes a quarterly list with the names of Indigenous people reported missing — but it still doesn’t issue a list for those who’ve been killed. When a local nonprofit requested that information, the state said no. By @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social of @adn.com

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names. @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social @adn.com

18 things Kotzebue, Alaska, is about to lose because of the defunding of public broadcasting: (according to the city's letter to Alaska's delegation)

While the U.S. Senate is voting to defund public broadcasting ... my colleagues at rural Alaska public radio stations are scrambling to help coastal residents understand the tsunami danger from a 6.6 mag earthquake that struck minutes ago in Sand Point/Aleutians East.

So is this the quake that prompted automatic alerts in Anchorage? earthquake.alaska.edu/event/025925...

Adak has two pools, a movie theatre, a bowling alley, and perhaps the most western McDonald’s in the United States. The drive-through still has prices listed from the 90s! 👀
