I recently picked up this official Binky Fan Club T-shirt, from the 1994 incident where the Alaska Zoo polar bear ripped a shoe off a stupid tourist. A pop-up exhibit of Anchorage/Alaska T-shirt history is one of my dream projects, and it's becoming more and more possible.

Looks like Tom Begich will be in Juneau on January 10th. Hopefully he's bringing his own shovel. #akleg #akgov

Friday is the eighth consecutive day that Fairbanks Airport has a low temperature of -40F/C or lower. There will be several more days in the -40s, but the record long streak of 18 straight days (1965 and again in 1971) is safe. #akwx @907life.bsky.social @jenniferschell16.bsky.social

Fairbanks average temperature for 2025 of 30.1ºF/-1.1ºC tied for the 10th warmest year since 1930. There hasn't been a "top ten" coldest year in the 21st century, but half of the top ten warmest years have occurred since 2000. The typical year is now 3ºF warmer now than before 1960. #akwx #Climate

Hey @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy America has never had true equality, fewer people are experiencing true liberty in the U.S. now than they did 20 years ago, and your own president ignores the rule of law.

If you truly “loved America” you’d expose this, instead of bowing down to it.

So, we weren’t going to have a calendar this year. But I got to thinking about Pepé and I was like “How can I honor TWELVE YEARS of this majestic dog???” and then I decided she deserves HER VERY OWN 12 month calendar. I hope it’s not too late. #uglydogs

Hi!

I’m swimming pool.
Hi!
I'm stick through aorta, but my friends call me free climbing a 200ft cliff or running down a volcano.
Hi, I'm the center of a borderline EF-4 tornado. 🤷

Some December monthly average temps around Anchorage:

Anchorage Intl AP: 13.5F
Lake Hood Seaplane: 12.6F
Merrill Field: 8.9F
My house in east Anchorage: 6.3F

The differences are almost completely related to wind.
