FBX-based. AK. Recovering historian. Unpack the narratives. I am getting too old for this shit. Opinions are opinionated and my own, and do not reflect the views of any organization.
Just heard the Charlie Warzel interview with @onthemedia.bsky.social (I’m a couple weeks behind) where he described the dead bird place as “a Russian nesting doll of bullshit… fake people yelling at fake people for being fake.”

Another lousy thing about the #AlaskaAir changing its reward program. No longer able to use companion fare for multi-city flights. Had been doing what was essentially a round trip w/an extended layover for 10+ years using it, but the new system won’t allow it. Boo! Might not keep the card.

💸 Alaskans face sky-high energy costs, and now Congress wants to slash the clean energy programs that could help.
We support Sen. Murkowski’s stand to protect them. Alaskans need renewables, efficiency, and local power.

I know this won’t actually happen because the parties involved are a pack of self-interested cowards, but it would be pretty funny if the law firms that gave into the #TrumpExtortionRacket simply each did 20 hours of work and billed them at $5 million an hour.

They insist that #LeonSkum was never going to get a briefing on war plans with China. So how could someone ‘leak’ that info? They would have been lying to the press, which I believe usually gets you a promotion in this administration, not investigated.

After the election, we decided to take the money we had used to subscribe to one of the national legacy outlets that failed us so badly and to use it for a recurring donation to @propublica.org Would urge others who can afford it to do the same!

Called both Senators and asked how they will explain to their constituents why they did nothing while #Musk and his flunkies illegally decided what payments #Treasury should or shouldn’t make. Especially when those constituents don’t get checks (which will be everyone when they crash the system).
