Pulled this image from an Americans for Prosperity ad for Dan Sullivan. Ran it through an image AI edit to remove the "our jobs" overlay, then image search it. It keeps saying its somewhere in Montana. Kalispell, whitefish, red lodge...its never consistent Is there any alaska town it could be?

Kudos on the woman for turning herself in. Always with "AI results" follow a famous unrelated quote from Ronald Regan Trust BUT VERIFY #alaska #ai #hunting

I'm not sure which is funnier...but I'll go with this from my drive on the Kenai peninsula I've left HOPE behind...I'm headed straight to ANCHORAGE (Alternate...I've left HOPE behind...I'm headed to SEWARD). #alaska #dadjokes

I noticed something interesting. Both Aang and Spiderman: BND films are aimed at roughly the same audience. Both have a shockingly similar grand theme - you feel alone, but you are not. Is this theme striking a cord right now with Gen Z and Gen Alpha? #avatarlastairbender #spiderman #loneliness

I am super curious as an alaska resident - how well did your novel do in areas with whaling? Do you think alaska and Norway for example may respond differently to the film adaptation too?

Pistachio is not a good color for a building in alaska. Looking at you as I pass by Alaska Digestive Center. Although is does remind me of the stomach med Mylanta, so I guess there is that... #anchorage #alaska #pistachio

After all, national parks are not islands, but parts of the greater systems of the world, particularly larger human networks. But that's just me... #Yosemite #sept11

The ranger who gave me some of the first news of the day was of the opinion of holding back info to allow Yosemite to be an escape. I still firmly believe in the value of knowing the outside world events, to allow each person to process such events in their own way. #Yosemite #sept11

One fact, the grounding of ALL FLIGHTS in the US, was critical, but beyond that point - are national parks places to process the tragedy, or escape from it? Rangers diverged in their opinions #yosemite #sept11 youtu.be/bo1ZtpKqlYw?...

I got my first news right here about the fateful day 25 years ago, Sept. 11. I was working in Tuolumne Meadows at Yosemite National Park. A debate began to take shape as I fulfilled my position as staff in the Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center...how much to tell tourists. #yosemite #sept11

But make no mistake, our children, and even our mid 20s adults do not view it the same as older generations, so doing something big and special to commemorate for most of the country is not an effective use of student time. #sept11 #teachers

Does it belong in history lessons...sure. Community commemorations (especially in NYC, DC, and Shanksville PA)...also yes. #sept11 #teachers

tundragranite.bsky.social @tundragranite.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Hot take: Teachers no longer should do special things in american schools for Sept 11 commemoration. Ultimately, all current children were born in a world where it already happened, and all current kids were not even school age until nearly 10 years after it happened. #Sept11 #teachers

What kind of nazi junk is this. For sale on both Amazon and Walmart. For the cosplaying facist out there. Left report on both sites on the offensive nature of this 1940s ww2 german soldier costume. Hope they take it down Orion costumes is the company #Halloween

First up, this is a f***** beautiful film. I would expect a couple of cinematography awards In terms of themes, be ready for a sense of loss that pervades every moment of the film. Ive seen hopeful post apocalyptic stories, and while hope is there, so is grieving in greater amounts. #dogstars

Im not a golfer, but I have two daughters. Today, I contacted by phone and email the consessionaire in Yosemite National Park. I asked them to pull callaway golf sold near the Wawona Golf Course because of that heinous ad. Picture of the wawona golf course #Yosemite #golf #wawona #callaway

I dont even golf. The ad from GoodGood and Callaway Golf was horrifying enough for me to call Pepsi (mountain dew) which sponsors a tournament with them to get the drink to reconsider its partnership. I have 2 daughters #callawaygolf #goodgood #mountaindew #golf youtube.com/shorts/kfZi1...

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Everything about this is a master class in filmmaking...editing, score, practical effects, etc... All the acting is Oscar quality except Tom Holland. He is capable of such stronger performances. It works, but when placed against other actor it just isn't as good. ##theodyssey
