One Hot Mess AK

You know you've lived in Alaska too long when you watch a taut thriller called "Dead of Winter" and all you can do is analyze the snow conditions and second guess the main character's driving techniques

Ever since my oldest turned 18, my approach is to give her my opinion about something, and she as a legal adult can do whatever she wants with that information. You can't teach anything to teenagers who know everything.🤷🏻‍♀️

Uh maybe that's because a lot of the people with power, time, and money for vacation homes keep blocking/yelling at everyone on Facebook over hurt feels instead of admitting that their kids can't afford to keep their own teeth without help and that's why they might never be grandparents

I know it's a little early, but I think I already found the 2026 family Christmas/New Year's card.

Of course Pam Bondi wants to put the slag heap of lawyers who remain willing to do this administration's dirty work beyond the reach of their state licensing authorities. So much for states' rights!

World War 3 totally blows you guys

"Berm Rage" needs its own entry in the DSM IV. #juneausnowpocalypse #iykyk

The Alaskan teenage urge to wear hoodies and slides in 4 foot drifts of snow

"WERE"?!

Sorry, it actually starts at about 8 minutes in

ICYMI: it was a great hearing. My testimony starts toward the beginning at 2:00:00.

As many have pointed out, the horse is out of the barn. However, it's possible that litigation could void the agreement that the state made with DOJ, such that the state would not be allowed/required to act on DOJ's post-review dictated "cleanse" of our voter rolls.

I'll be testifying tomorrow (on my personal time & in my personal capacity) in the House Judiciary Committee at the request of the chair. I will be explaining why, in my view, was a mistake for the State to disclose AK's confidential voter data to DOJ. It will be on Gavel to Gavel at 1:00pm. #akleg

Why do people always talk about "back-of-the-napkin math?" Why is the math never done on the front of the napkin? Because there's sauce on it? Also, nobody should be doing math on napkins anymore. That's what your phone is for.

Stop me if you've seen this one before

This comment wins the internet for today's dog discourse

My bulldog has become aggressive towards other dogs under certain specific situations, and as soon as I realized that it was an issue, I immediately never allowed her off leash ever again unless I was certain that there was no one around for a very large visible space.

Off leash, on leash, picking up poop, not picking up poop. Makes no diff. No matter what, someone's always hostile AF. Like didn't I see you at the No Kings protest in a pink pussy hat? I thought you wanted a more tolerant world. Now it's all get off my lawn. Makes me wanna rehome my dogs & myself.

The dog walking/ownership scene in Juneau is honestly the most hostile thing I've ever experienced in my life and I grew up in NYC in the 80s. It is next level.

This was not necessarily how I pictured appearing in federal appellate litigation when I was in law school, but I'll take it.

We need to talk about the "all-the-baseball-players-look-like-my-dad-to all-the-baseball-players-look-like-my kid" pipeline that happens in the 30 years between 15 and 45

I feel attacked/seen

This could be a copy/paste from the comments section on your Uncle Gary's Facebook page but no it is an official communication from the "leader of the free world."

This song is low key FIRE

I thought all the rich people were going to move out of NYC when Mamdani got elected. I was looking forward to my hometown becoming a de-gentrified caliphate that I could finally afford to live in again. What happened to that?
