Circa 1937 to the early 1940s, there was a ski jump in Anchorage from I Street down towards Chester Creek, about where there are now covered stairs Called the Kjosen Hill jump for Edvardt Kjosen who initiated the project. Via Alaska Lost Ski Areas Project. #anchoragehistory

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

the criterion of embarassment is a type of historical analysis in which a historical account is deemed likely to be true under the inference that the author would have no reason to invent a historical account which might embarrass them
