omg yeah
If this oleaginous haircut thinks local crime rates merit a federal military intervention, then he should be leading the armored column down to his home state of Louisiana, which is one of the worst in the nation.
I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.
The New Yorker…
Same.
A trans person has never threatened me. But the leather-faced worm-brained science-denying conspiracy nut in charge of America's healthcare is openly threatening to kill and maim tens of thousands of us.
BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr poised to surpass gun violence as leading cause of death among American children.
Werner Herzog to film it.
Update: it got funny again
FYR, heard local reports of Russians buying (for example) six bottles of Johnny Walker black, here in Anchorage, during the “summit.” So, you don’t even need to reach back to the USSR for this comparison.

I love Ring Dings. But once I eat it, I don’t have it anymore. Same goes for elections, Mr. Trump — you can’t have your cake and eat it too. 🍰 #PaulaPoundstone #ComedyReels #PoliticalSatire #Trump #Cake #RingDings #Satire #StandUpComedy #CurrentEvents #ReelsHumor #gerrymandering

I’ve always sort of wondered how much of the decor dates from the period when it was the territorial capital, and how much came after statehood.
I think it’s too varied to reduce to a single US state. Also: years ago I was chatting with some Germans in A’dam, talking about our plans to drive to Trier. They were like: why? That’s the Iowa of Germany.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
This is Jetty. He never wants to hear you complain about his barking again. 13/10 (IG: ullalynn3)
But #Anchorage isn’t #AK. Apparently.
In college we had a major rat infestation in the house we were renting. The landlord did nothing. We drove them out with an hour or so of strategic firecracker detonation. They wanted nothing to do either us after that.
Very strategic.
I think this ship has sailed.
After dinner sunbeam action.
I’m not sure MAGA is really the target. They’re unrecoverable. As Newsom made it clear when asked about the tweets in the press conference announcing the redistricting plan, the target is the media… and how they’ve just treated djt as normal.
“This is the 50 ft tall urban assault version of me.” - T. Servo
The Democrats have been afraid of their shadows since the Reagan administration. In my most optimistic moments, I think djt might finally snap them out of it. But the jury is way tf out on this.
I hate it.

It’s not what the new logo is… it’s that it’s not the old one. Something has been taken from them. Dominic Cummings infamously leveraged this sort of resentment, when he came up with the slogan, “Take BACK Control,” for the BREXIT campaign (emphasis mine).
Sorry, you will have to be more specific re which Georgia is facing democratic backsliding
Yes, all of this. Indeed, the Escher-esque qualities of the plot are partly what make it endlessly re-watchable.
The debates will be scintillating.
“I signed up for the Affordable Care Act, and was able to go to any doctor I wanted—and they cut off my balls. Thanks, Obama.” - The Colbert Report
They’re working on their manifesto, this very minute.
“I gave my life to Christ in the Cracker Barrel parking lot” sounds like the filthiest euphemism I have ever heard.
“The supreme court has pulled the rug out from under the lower federal courts, and it has done so deliberately and knowingly,” Luttig said. “The chief justice has no higher obligation than to protect the federal judiciary from attacks by this president, and in my view he has utterly failed.” #scotus
Alaska volcano observers say signs of unrest at Mount Spurr have declined to the point where “the chances of an eruption in the near-term are now considered extremely low.”
Yep. That said, the one rule I’ve stuck with in the 40+ years since my first international flight is that I’ll do most anything to avoid a flight that lands in the AM—especially early AM. Then you have to whole day to get through. I didn’t manage when I was 20yo (to disastrous effect), def not now.
Just now…
People are calling that, The Front Nine. He's a machine.
“These are the chains I forged in life… “
“Perfect.”
Hell yeah.
It’s a lot of fun if you enjoy doing software updates.
This should actually be the end of the Bayeux Tapestry.
Fucking Normans.
Hilarious coming from him. He looks like a composite of everyone who sat in the dock at Nuremberg.
I think she’s alienated both ends of the spectrum, at this point. Some very recent polling by a regional pollster put her numbers in the crapper. Also, a D with good name recognition just filed for governor earlier today. First D to do so.
Being part of the Flock will take on a different meaning after you read this week’s edition and we hope you see the new series we debut as important as we do. bit.ly/4mmfagZ
It really seems like she’s alienated both ends of the spectrum, at this point. Her recent polling from Ivan put her in tank.
Muldoon's Totem theater closed its doors Thursday, after 49 years. #Anchorage #AK
Former state Sen. Tom Begich has filed to run for governor of Alaska, becoming the first Democrat to join a field that already includes eight Republicans.
Newsmax has agreed to pay $67m to Dominion Voting Systems to settle a defamation lawsuit over lies about voting in the 2020 election.

My co-worker just left for WI, to take care of some family business. He wasn’t looking forward to it, for similar reasons. They used to regularly have long phone conversations, and seemed quite close. Not for years now, though.
Hundreds of members of Anchorage’s Polynesian community gathered at Dave Rose Park Saturday for a day filled with music, food, community and Samoan cricket.
Yeah my poor wife. Around here, this tendency usually manifests in my running conversations with the cats.
I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.

Apropos of nothing, I just thought of a plot for a police procedural that I’m almost certain has not been done before.
I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.
Same. Seattle. Mercer St.
So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?
“…illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue…where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery…pull back the curtains…move the tables & chairs out of the way & you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” ~Frank Zappa
Americans are infamously crap when it comes to geography. The NGS used to sponsor surveys on geographical knowledge. US HS students routinely couldn’t ID the outline of their home state.
[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down
lol I wasn’t really offering it as a defense. Just sayin. Lotta dumbfucks down there.
That was so bad he might start talking about the Epstein files.
tbf, we regularly have to inform mail order vendors that AK is not an international shipment.
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
I feel you. I'm a total weenie when it comes to headaches.

Unknowable.
The University of Alaska Anchorage may host up to 750 people on its campus in connection with a Friday summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Alaskans Standing with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 #PutinsACriminal🩸
Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
Anchorage stands with Ukraine!
Massive and growing protest in Anchorage against President Trump and Putin meeting tomorrow on Ukraine without Ukraine.
International dignitaries and reporters are scrambling to find housing in Anchorage ahead of the Trump-Putin summit. UAA has even set up temporary tents inside of the Alaska Airlines Center to house members of the Russian delegation.
“I’m on the road, and I’m blepping for the Buddah…”
I like to think it was the same guy who yelled, “Hey Cheney, go fuck yourself!” from the window of a passing car, while the then-veep was being interviewed on a sidewalk.
Or the legend who made a jerk off motion while entering a pub, behind Nigel Farage mid-interview.
They should just shove a broken one in a crummy box and mail it to him.
Wait. Is there a health care plan?
Trump and Putin are coming to Alaska and here are... NEW ALASKA POLL NUMBERS! This is a sneak preview just for you special Bluesky folks, so make sure to spread these far and wide, OK? Alaska Survey Research August 12-13, 2025 N=848 Alaska 18+ adults, MOE +/-3.8% Fielded: ASR Survey Panel 🧵 1/12

Hoagie assault guy, if convicted, will be punished more strongly than J6 folks who beat police officers with poles and other objects and are now walking free (and probably joining CBP)
Seems only just, in light of Les Moonves's notorious comment about how djt was bad for the country, but great for CBS (paraphrasing).
