Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Weird Al Yankovic will be in Anchorage this weekend.

I desperately want them to walk into a bar.

This is a trap.

The proven ability for many to telework combined with the water shortages in the Southwest could significantly change this prediction.

We need a tax system that scales with the population, both year-round and seasonal.
After 11 straight years with more residents leaving Alaska than arriving, the state for the first time projects a long-term population decline, according to a report released by the state’s demographer.

Alaska could be facing its first long-term decline in population
Fewer Alaskans could mean more imported workers and fewer students and youths to fill future jobs, a state demographer says.

Optimist: the cup is half EMPTY.

But we can refill it.

Optimism is not about framing how you see the world. It's not about deluding yourself or others about what the world is.

It's not passive.

It's about imagining and MAKING the world what it can be.

@anchoragedailynews.bsky.social, campaign events happen up to election day, and voters continue gaining new information until the end.

Our desire to know results quickly is not more important than rural Alaska's right to informed voting.

Requiring absentee ballots by election day would be wrong

@alaskasurvey.bsky.social, do you have any insight on why people voted one way or the other on Ballot Measure 2?

Of all the colonial names we insist on keeping, this one has to be the most bizarre.
I think about this sign a lot

As long as we're putting up pictures, here is Nakwasina Sound. Obviously not taken today.

The temperature inside a turbofan engine can reach 1,700° C. The thing that keeps compressor blades from melting is a 1/2 mm boundary layer of 500° air around each blade.

Applied physics is simply a way to describe practical magic.
