If you're unable to see the aurora from where you are, the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute has a couple of aurora cams. One at explore.org/livecams/aur..., too. It's still a bit light here for great viewing

Yukon Quest Alaska teams have been announced, so I've added them to the combined race roster. Gotta say that it looks like a moderately interesting field, given that it's small. I'd really like to see Josi Shelley have a breakout year.

The snow’s a little thin in the woods and the thin layer of ice underneath it makes skiing noisier than it ought to be, but it’s fantastic to be on skis again

Not an option in Alaska. Is anybody looking at how disruptions to air travel are hitting deliveries of groceries, medical supplies, etc. to the villages? (Anchorage and Seattle are two of the impacted airports)
Many many hours and many many ATC delays later, I’ll be getting in at 3am rather than 3pm. If you have any upcoming flights, good fucking luck. Consider taking the train

jews arrived in america radicalized by their experience of antisemitic persecution. inspired by the ideals of socialism and the labor movement, we built ourselves up from nothing, and fought for our equality. then affluence, the rosenbergs, and zionism proceeded to wring the radicalism out of us.

One of the saddest days of the year is the day I take my fly rods and waders out of the truck and put them away for the winter. Yesterday was that day.

#akleg Need a shirt like this for next year when we're through with Dunleavy. I was just hearing today about how terribly his whimsical effort to mandate a 15% cut of regulations was going.
Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Fairbanks 530-730pm Halloween, prime trick or treat hours, and it’s straight up raining and above freezing. I can find no prior occurrence of such wretchedness. Halloween 1970 closest, with temps in the upper 30s but the rain came after 9pm. #akwx @leahwrenn.bsky.social @tomhewittnews.bsky.social

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Mary Peltola is beating Dan Sullivan by 2 pts in our most recent US Senate survey. Why?
Sullivan wins 87-9 among conservatives.
Peltola wins 97-2 among progressives.
So Sullivan's boat is leakier...
But among moderates (41% of the voting population), Peltola is winning by a whopping 58-32. Ouch!
