Same. He’d have been an infinite improvement over any of the 3 who made it to the general.

We have had an unexpectedly nice fall in Anchorage and I am so grateful! I could do without the wind today, though. :)

Oh, hey, Alaska. Today is gross and windy, but yesterday sure wasn’t. We’re reaching the end of the leaves but I’ll enjoy the yellow trail while it lasts. 🤩🍁 Just one moose and two voles- far less exciting than yesterday, and no reroutes required. #AlaskaSky

The first nosing I kind of understand, although we were desperately trying to save him from himself and he really should have listened. The second chomp, well, that was sure a choice buddy. 🫠

Did enjoy admiring the world’s most magnificent bouffant at a table next to us whilst killing time and a margarita at the Mexican place next door to the vet ER mid-dequilling, however.
The most crazy hair you can possibly imagine behind a spicy skinny margarita.

Oh, hey, Alaska: gorgeous magical fall walk until my pal’s dog tried to eat a porcupine edition. #AlaskaSky 🤩😬😢🤑

Regretfully, I must admit that a stupid little walk for my stupid mental heath remains a reasonable brainitch salves even in These Times (tm), and even in the middle of the city before a gym appointment. #AlaskaSky

Oh, hey, Alaska. 🤩 Pretty walk after work with pals and their dogs today. So grateful for awesome city parks almost in my backyard. #AlaskaSky

It is better for the middle schoolers to have a teacher with a less itchy brain tomorrow even if grades are done on a rainy weekend. Right? Right. 🫡

Oh, hey, Alaska. Bailed on grading for a spectacular sunny afternoon mini-adventure with a pal. 🤷‍♀️ 🤩⛰️☀️ #AlaskaSky

Same. I’m not too fussy about it and as long as I use it up before the next year it’s fine.

YES. I would absolutely have ranked Bishop, no question.

Ali @alaskaali.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
That’s what I mean. He might be too dumb to have a mean streak? I genuinely think he might be less bad/realiatory/petty than Wilson when things don’t go his way. And yet: still astonishingly, provably incompetent.

Ali @alaskaali.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
So do we then hope that Bronson is just as ineffective and disinterested in efficient governance in the gubernatorial post as he was as mayor and rank him first as a do-less-harm option? Or do we rank him last, as a Known and Established Agent of Awful?
220
Ali @alaskaali.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
They’re both dreadful. I am pretty torn on this one. Wilson is a terrible, ignorant person with zero relevant experience. Bronson is a terrible, ignorant person who, in his relevant executive experience, revealed himself to be the worst possible man for the job.

The Steller jays in my mom’s yard literally follow her around the outside of the house bonking their beaks on the windows as she moves from room to room inside until she caves and throws their peanuts out on the deck. She’s well-trained!

King Street has pretty meh food but more universally appealing beers; ABC has weirder beers (good if you like what they have) and excellent in-house food (closing this weekend I think 😭) or you can go across the parking lot to Rafelitos. The outdoor space at ABC is great.

Anchorage Brewing Company and King Street both have good outdoor and indoor space and don’t tend to be too slammed; worst part is the parking lot.

Oh, hey, Alaska. Didn’t pick the best week of the year to spend in Kachemak Bay, but them’s the weather breaks sometimes, and there was still (mostly wet and windy) beauty to be found. My elderly canine pal finds his life’s truest calling as a yurt dog every year. #AlaskaSky 💨🤩🌧️❤️

Tbh if he was sent from some sort of crazed apocalyptic future scenario it almost answers some questions for me.

I get it at midnight on NYE- like, ok, could we maybe agree we’ll get it all over in two hours and I’ll give the dog some trazodone and suck it up. But 9 PM fireworks when it’s going to get kinda medium dark blue for an hour around 1:30 AM? No one needs that nonsense.

Looks great! I was so excited to see those the other day myself. We’re all living our fancy dreams now.

Just the tallest, pettiest, dumbest a**hole. 8 years of being impossibly disinterested in governing whilst being incredibly dedicated to needlessly, actively making things worse for kids- what a legacy.

My old lumpy sled dog pal got an extra good snacky ball tonight. I’m really sorry. Dogs are the best and this part of it is the worst. 💔

Maybe, but factor Forest Fair traffic into your consideration. It’s always less hellish Girdwood to Anchorage than it is Anchorage to Girdwood on FF days, but it def. can be a problem.
