Hey Alaska. Early voting starts today. Don't forget that two judges have a "no" recommendation because of their antics and behavior. Judge Kelly Lawson and Judge Martin Fallon. It is very rare to see a recommendation of "no" www.ajc.state.ak.us/retention/cu...

Happy genocide in the name of Christianity day! (Tomorrow.)

Nation’s Indigenous People Confirm They Don’t Need Special Holiday, Just Large Swaths Of Land Returned Immediately https://theonion.com/nation-s-indigenous-people-confirm-they-don-t-need-spec-1839033177/

A caller to our SiriusXM show said he was sick of Native people saying this is stolen land. This is for him & anyone who hears that as an attack instead of a truth worth facing. We Are Not Going to Evict You: What “Stolen Land” & Land Back Actually Mean juliefrancella.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

Remind me again which is the "real" Dan Sullivan.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Hey everyone! The Burlesque Show from last weekend is available to buy on demand until September 1. It is a FANTASTIC show, equally sexy and funny. Highly recommended. :) www.frosteaseburlesque.com/event-detail...

There is a great Burlesque show tonight and tomorrow. There is even a live stream tomorrow, if you aren't in Anchorage. :) www.frosteaseburlesque.com

For those of you outside of Alaska, take note: billionaires hate open primaries, ranked choice voting, and campaign contribution limits. Tell your communities and vote accordingly. In Alaska, this means Yes on 1 (by August 18), No on 2 (this fall). #akleg #alaskasky

I don't know who sold my phone number to politicians, but this really fucking sucks.

I love when comment threads get shortened and REALLY important context goes missing...

Wow. GCI is so good at Internet and stuff. Already saw one kid bite it. This cable has been here a few weeks, I thought it was temporary.

#akleg Well that makes it easier on the Division of Elections. Just add little flags

Don't worry Walker, bear-ly anyone saw that 👀

I think my favorite kind of championship game is one where the very best defense is facing off against the very best offense. Looking forward to Sunday. :)

We've been meeting off and on for a few years now in trying to figure out the shape of an Alaska grown, grassroots political party. I expect it'll continue to be pretty slow moving. This year we're just vetting / endorsing candidates and weighing in on ballot measures.

I've gone this far without learning what sunk-cost fallacy is, so I'm not starting now.

Last night, I was very tired while waiting to pick up my wife at the airport and briefly thought Grogu was real.

www.frosteaseburlesque.com/event-detail... Good Burlesque this weekend at Koot's. :) There is even a Live Stream on Saturday.

If he looked like a doctor, then I looked like a linebacker.

Fellow Alaskans, in these times of high gas prices, I implore you to explore the past for solutions. History will provide! This young lady, with a bear pulling her cart in circa 1950 Alaska, had all the answers. Via Anchorage Museum. #alaskahistory #alaska

Due to high geopolitical tensions, sports fans are temporarily required to contextualize their posts, for example: ❌ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK ✔️ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK how did he make that basketball go in the hole

I like retail and service work. I just don't think it points to a great intellectual or economic state when you've got Pulitzer Prize winning journalists economically backed into a "vow of poverty" side hustle gig economy.

I know it isn't universal, but I'm happy to report that both of the sign posting, flag waving Trump supporters in my normal dog walk loop have removed their flags and signs. One fellow dog walker has swapped his maga hat out for a "WTF" hat too. I think things are turning. Lets keep it up.

Today's accomplishment: dipped the wrong end of the brush into the water.

And hey Anchorage! If you want to preview some of my new tunes, I am playing tomorrow night with Casey Smith and Emma Hill! #alaskasky www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket... it's a hear-a-pin-drop listening room concert in a very special all ages space. I LOVE these SSC shows.

happy captain cook deathday to all who celebrate

My Superbowl watch crew.

Happy Superbowl Eve to all those that celebrate. Be sure to leave out Skittles for Beastmode tonight.

Meanwhile, in Kodiak, a 31-year-old man, Maximillian Kaplan, has been arrested for pretending to be an ICE officer and harassing people at the Safeway and Walmart. #akleg Link: www.kodiakdailymirror.com/news/article...

There's a lot going on these days, so I suggest taking some time to go see some wonderful Burlesque. Streaming options available. :) www.frosteaseburlesque.com/event-detail...

They probably should have waited until after the midterms to poke this bear. If Alaska Native Corporations decide to bring their full focus to the 2026 elections, it's all over for Dan Sullivan and Nick Begich.

Are they going to tell us the oil tanker was full of fentanyl or are we done pretending this isn't about oil?

I keep up to date on who is authorized to monitor my credit, and I keep a close eye on things. It makes spotting scams MUCH easier. Then when a scam caller makes the mistake of targeting me I can talk them in circles for as long as I can for fun. Today was 9 minutes, but my record is 45. :)

Seeing a lack of Alaskans posting about the earthquake on my X (Twitter) feed lets me know that site is washed.

Another big quake breaking apart roads in Southcentral Alaska again? Problematic Anchorage gap.
