I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I didn’t plan for the launch to fall on the same week as Black Friday/Small Business Saturday (I was going to do this next year).

Bike Anchorage’s response to Sunday’s ADN’s editorial about the increase of pedestrian deaths in Anchorage. The ADN editorial did quite a bit of victim blaming and offered fixes that made it more difficult to be a walker or a cyclist here.

Opinion: Stop blaming pedestrians and start fixing streets
Anchorage’s pedestrian death toll isn’t about reflective vests or fences — it’s about dangerous driving, weak enforcement and leaders who prioritize convenience over human life.

This was the thing we did best at OG Alaska Dispatch: Around the conference table, pitching stories, brainstorming angles, sharing leads and sources, separating the wheat from the chaff, cheering each other on when appropriate and reining each other in when needed. Good journalism is a team sport.
Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

One of the realities of climate change in the Yukon is that the clear skies and deep cold of 30 years ago are gone - winters are much warmer and the skies are often cloudy. That makes a full-spectrum SAD light an important self-care tool for some of us to deal with the darkness.
