And we kept electing a Congress full of bootlicking sycophants. The country might not survive Nov 3.

We need to stop talking about sea level rise as fractional inches over decades and focus on impacts at specific locations that are observed right now on the scale of feet due to local amplification.

Wilson, who somehow is favored in polling, went full bore no compromise, no talks across the aisle. Bronson and Taylor spoke like they were slightly more open minded.

The education funding veto would not have been overridden without moderate Republican votes. We wouldn’t have moderate Republicans in office without open primaries and ranked choice. I think focusing on preserving this system is a better use of energy.

Impeach, convict, remove, investigate, charge.

Flu + COVID vaccines on Wednesday = minor body aches on Thursday. Just inconveniences. Get vaxxed, folks. You’d never know from federal reporting, but can confirm there’s some nasty stuff in circulation now.

Something odd going on at the Alaska Div Elections mail in ballot tracking site. Today (10/7/2026) the site shows my ballot has already been sent on 10/9/2026 . Am I worried? Nah, Nancy Dahlstrom is in charge. /s
