NEW: Trump’s pick for a tiny federal agency that advises Congress and the president on Arctic research policy is a MAGA venture capitalist with no science background. The job put him on a global stage, where he’s pushed for closer ties with Russia. www.propublica.org/article/thom...

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

I’ve also written an LttE for the FDNM, but mine is about your use of transphobic language. I’d rather not send it in, but you really should address that awful ad.

Hafner being in prison is not (and should not be) disqualifying - we live in a corrupt system that can use that to disqualify good people. Not having *any* connection to Alaska *should* be disqualifying, but is not under our current laws, because writing a reasonable residency requirement is hard.

Fairbanks:

This is a facebook post from Danielle Gammon. She reports her daughter Alice is missing. That she had breakfast at Tanana Middle School and then apparently left. Alice is 12, about 5'2" and 100 lbs. she was wearing a light blue hoodie and light pink glasses that look almost clear. They have filed a police report and checked at both youth shelters.

ey Fairbanks: we need to have a chat about ‘intent vs. impact’. Each of us is primed to hear things in a particular way, and we really need to give each other some grace, because the way we’re hearing each other isn’t the way we mean it to be heard.

What frustrates me is that in many Dem or left of center political campaigns in AK there's this almost axiomatic belief that fundraising should go towards data & media bc that's what persuades -- while not considering that who you hire/contract & pay can persuade & build trust -- or do the opposite.

It warms my heart that the Texas shaped waffle from my hotel’s breakfast buffet is smaller than the standard waffle.

Two waffles on a plate, one shaped like Texas, one round. The texas shaped waffle is approximately the same diameter of the round one.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.
Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.

If we're gonna survive we give everything away. Every skill you learn and every tool you build, every community you walk into and every dollar you make, if we're gonna make it your first thought has to be how to give the whole world whatever it is you find. How to make yours, ours.

It is good to have news media that is politically independent. We should not know the party affiliation of our reporters (or our police, military, judiciary, etc) This is yet another reason why open primaries are so important.

If someone in a protest/resistance movement gives you their personal contact information, that’s for *you*. If you pass that info on to third parties, that’s a breach of trust, and makes you seem like an unsafe person.

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)
