Ever wondered how bad a letter has to be, for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner NOT to publish it? Here is your answer: Unless there's a two-week backlog, they've consigned my LTE to the memory hole. Apparently they draw the line at calling Moms For Liberty "creepy."

Alright, this is the second ceremony in a row where they've sung "a last frontier" instead of "the Last Frontier" during the Alaska Flag Song. They even printed it in the program. @anchistorian.bsky.social am I going crazy? When I was singing in my school assemblies as a kid, I swear it was "the."

This is incredibly useful and you should do it, but also... Think of what this suggests for the future and how sad it is. One day art historians will call 2022 something like Annus Fictus, the Year of Forgeries, where from that point on the provenance of the hand of the artist was washed away.

Ditched the action-movie idea and started in on "13 Reasons Why". It was a little hard to watch, chiefly because high-schoolers are such ignorant, vapid shits, especially in movies and television.
