I’m so old I keep capitalizing “Internet” in my story drafts 👴🏻

Now we’re talkin’

If you know someone in Alaska who is not able to access the internet and wants to share their experience, they can contact reporter @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social at 907-854-8540 (phone or WhatsApp). Here is a text-only version of our page: text.propublica.org/getinvolved/...

The FCC is looking to make satellite Internet eligible for federal telecom subsidies the same summer SpaceX is having an IPO.

wonder how much email traffic in 2026 is just AI chatbots replying to each other via suggested responses. 'Here's some info." "Thanks for that info!" "No problem." 001010101110010101

This story is simply 🤯: This Convicted Felon Gets $1 Million a Year to Sell Obsolete Internet Service. You Pay for It. By partner @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social @adn.com

Help me with some reporting on Internet access in Alaska? Can you please run this speed test and tell me how fast the Internet is at your home or business? (And what community you're in?) Feel free to email [email protected]. THANKS! (This is my speed at home in Midtown Anchorage)

Reporting question: Whether or not someone received a PFD on a given year is: 1.) Public information. 2.) Not public information. 3.) Depends on who/how you ask. (Relevant law seems to be AS 43.23.110. In the past it's been interpreted as the state to say who got a check no?)

Please support my colleagues who are on strike today @propublicaguild.org

Justine Paul spent years in jail awaiting trial even as the evidence against him fell apart. Afterward, he lived on the streets and nearly overdosed 10 times. “They took seven and a half years of his life, and I think it broke him,” his lawyer said. By @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social, @adn.com

NEW: Bad Evidence Got Him Indicted for Murder. He Waited 7 Years to Walk Free. Justine Paul was accused of killing his girlfriend, Eunice Whitman. In Alaska’s slow-motion criminal justice system, he was kept behind bars even as the evidence against him fell apart.

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
