#ruralalaska might agree with Finland on the value of steams
(Setting aside whatever you feel about Trump).
Personally, steams never worked for me.

Lets take a moment and juxtapose this Danish image with foxnews. Remember, Greenland IRL is only 1/4 the size of the United states.
God, Americans need to do better with geography.

ABC News reporting 1,500 active duty soldiers are on standby to deploy to MINNESOTA.
The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf--Richardson, one of the Army's premier infantry formations.
The division is also the military's leading formation for Arctic warfare

Its the alaska equivalent of winter shorts and t-shirt weather.
Insane how the current temp effectively had a negative sign just TWO DAYS AGO
It does beg the question...which end of the temp swing this week is normal and which is out of wack?

Astounding temperature increases in southwest Alaska on Thursday. The largest reported increase was from Quinhagak, where the temperature rose 77°F (!), from a low of -40F/C to a high +37F (+2.8C). #akwx #weather @markspringer.bsky.social @tundragranite.bsky.social

Can someone explain in Starfleet Academy the lighting and camera work that led to a yellow tint in any "sunlight" scene particularly outdoors?

Definitely some for #alaska to contact Murkowski about. She chairs the Indian affairs committee. Alaska natives need to be protected from ICE also.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

If you personally haven't blocked the term "grok" yet on bluesky, make sure to do that in settings.
Any recent news is disturbing and effectively made the term NSFW and NSFE (not safe for EVERYONE)

Malaysia and Indonesia become the first countries to block Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, after authorities said it was being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

Pretty awesome event at my local church today in Bethel, #Alaska. A group was allowed to design an "American girl" style doll that looks alaska native. They then gave it out to Bethel based typhoon halong evacuees. It is so powerful for our alaska native girls to see themselves in their dolls.

We have some amazing Alaskan women in our army and marines. To say they are reducing our combat lethality is insulting. Make this a campaign issue against Sullivan

Pentagon will begin review of 'effectiveness' of women in ground combat positions
The review, outlined in a Pentagon memo obtained by NPR, comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told admirals and generals in September that women must meet the "highest male standard."
