A mountain/glacier scene in Nepal, the site of the collapse. A cirque glacier now has a shear collapse line where it and the rock below it fell down the mountain.

I saw one post-collapse photo of the collapse site yesterday on YouTube that showed water falling over a significant section of the newly sheared mountain edge. It was a distant image or possibly a short section of video and I have not been able to locate it again. Image below from Google Earth.

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll (if you feel like it) Mining ruin at mid tide, the pump house at Sandy Beach, Douglas, Alaska.
A narrow tall concrete building ruin stands in the tidewater. Sand beach I the foreground with an island connected by a causeway in the mid ground and wooded mountains behind. The sky is mostly cloudy with a small patch of blue.

Th Queen Elizabeth loading heavy fuel oil and marine gas oil in Seattle this morning. Owned by Carnival, the QE uses dirty fuel and open loop exhaust scrubbers in Alaska waters - but not in Washington state, where they have agreed to only use the marine gas oil which doesn’t require scrubbers.
Cruise ship docked in Seattle with a fuel barge alongside.

Truth Social post by Trump against Alaska really d choice and praising dirtbag Republicans Dan Sullivan, Mike Dunleavy, Nick Begich and some Camila Warfeld state party hack. But mostly praising himself like he always does.

Agreed. I feel the same way. Though it’s more the regime and the capture of the government by the richest and the Christian extremists that I loathe.

Beach
Snow on a sandy beach at the top of the previous tideline, the snow/ ice has turned into what looks like cobbles where the top of the tide lifted it and set back down on the beach

Not rubbing it in so much as reminding about this part of the state. We had beautiful sun today too.

Told #akgov candidate Edna DeVries today not to let the promoters spend the Permanent Fund on the #akgas line. Them boyz see a big pile of money and want to spend it on construction dollars. Reminded her that Jay Hammond said resource projects need to pay for themselves. (Photo credit Dave Bronson)

Inspired by the hundreds of people who showed up at yesterday’s vigil, I made a few new signs last night.
Hand painted signs on cardboard reading,’Antifascist American’, ‘Heroes are never fascists’, ‘Greenies for good government heroes’, Proud Antifascist’, and ‘Fascism is not patriotism’.

This is the Alaska DMV's Boats page. dmv.alaska.gov/boats/ Allowing some crappy AI 'fishing boat' image to disgrace the Alaska boat title and registration page is yet another humiliation of the Dunleavy era. What a garbage governor. What a disgrace.
