Want to book an aurora tour in Fairbanks? We have availability, and the next week is predicted to be clear here as well. This is one of the longest stretches of clear skies I've seen in Fairbanks!

The flooding happening in WA state right now is extreme. Homes under water. Evacuations underway. We also have new, PNW-flavored competition for the "shark in the flood water" image from so many hurricanes past. (Just to be REAL CLEAR here, this photo is NOT REAL, and not meant to look real.)

BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!
Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
DOJ deciding whether to seek new Comey, James indictments
The department could forgo an appeal of Lindsey Halligan’s disqualification and instead seek to bring new charges against James Comey and Letitia James.

We (USAID) even funded research to see if civil society could legally use it in the MENA region to fund HR activists. Nope - Illegal.

So much so that a corrupt President has nearly made a Billion dollars with a "B" on corrupt pardon and foreign business earnings from Mr Bone Saw (MBS) and other oligarchs.
Its SUPER CLEAR where the expensive, CORRUPT bias is coming from.

Unfortunately when AI tanks so too does the stock market. Given its % of the S&P500, it just don't matter if you're invested in AI or not.
You're going down...
Unless you're one of the few smart enough to know "when" and can bet against the stock market, YOU'RE FUCKED!
Guess who will know?

You could take away 99.9% fElon’s money and he’d still have $500 million. At a modest 2% return that’s $10 million per year. Exactly what can’t you do with $10 million a year?
Influence elections is what you can’t do. Fuck with the lives of anyone else is what you can’t do.
Take their money now.

i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job
