Happy Juneteenth all!

My beautiful wife + an Anchorage staple.

Rest in peace to my friend, MAJ Gregory Vanison. His family announced today that he had passed after a long, courageous battle with ALS. Major, then Captain, Vanison played a more significant role in Alaska's history than many know, as one of our leading judge advocates after the AKARNG scandal.

Minnesota police acknowledge that the targeted attack on lawmakers is an act of terrorism — politicly motivated with the intention/goal of intimidating civilians

This is a stunning act of violence. I’m thankful for all the law enforcement who are responding in real time. My prayers are with the Hortman and Hoffman families. Both legislators are close friends and devoted to their families and public service.

“At least 3 people have been shot at the homes of Democratic lawmakers in Brooklyn Park and Champlin in Minnesota, according to law enforcement sources. The suspect is believed to be impersonating a police officer and is still at large. The first shooting happened just after 2 a.m. on Saturday”

Heading out of town for a while. Posting will be reduced.

Oops.

A good explanation of "equality" versus "equity" is how military clothing and sales does their ordering/restocking.

the purpose of the tariffs is to impoverish America and until America is impoverished they will never be removed

This certainly unnecessary and perhaps illegal move will cause real harm in places like Juneau and Anchorage. Generally, in the more progressive cities that Dunleavy has disdain for.

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

Anyway, point is, probably a good time to make a change

Tough, considering his success. But probably the right move for the Knicks given Thibs' inability to adapt his minutes distributions in the regular season.

Horrified by today’s terror attack in Colorado. Antisemitism has no place in our nation and we must continue to unite together against such hatred. Our hearts are with the victims and their loved ones.

No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here. Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!

IF YOU'RE IN LINE FOR WILD SCOOPS, STAY IN LINE.

Pacers-Thunder Finals is a series for true basketball sickos.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Throw this antisemite onto the pile of Trump Admin antisemites that @chugachmtnblues.bsky.social is tracking.

OKC exemplifies everything that people who don't actually watch the NBA, get wrong about the NBA. Nobody plays defense. Really? Go watch the Thunder. It's all about threes. Really? Go watch the Thunder. Everyone plays exactly the same way. Really? Go watch the Thunder.

Building more housing is good, actually.

I think about this every day
