Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!

"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

And even if they do, many will come to the polls and find their names not on the election rolls

Told #akgov candidate Edna DeVries today not to let the promoters spend the Permanent Fund on the #akgas line. Them boyz see a big pile of money and want to spend it on construction dollars. Reminded her that Jay Hammond said resource projects need to pay for themselves.

35 years ago Wally Hickel unleashed the Alaska Grift Line. The state has spent well over a billion dollars on hot air since. We slammed Wally good and got him jammed up with an ethics investigation and a recall effort when he tried to own the thing. Best chant I've led. youtu.be/sc1OYERqz50?...

My 86 year old Alaska-born mother would have to track down a 60+ year old marriage certificate. She kept her kid's name when she divorced him 55 years ago. Love you, mom. Hate these S.O.B.s, may they rot in hell.

Statement from Congressman Nick Begich on House Passage of the SAVE America Act WASHINGTON, D.C. – Feb. 11, 2026 – Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) released the following statement following the House passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, legislati...

Today Alaska Rep Nick Begich 3 proudly voted to disenfranchise the votes of women who have changed their last names, overseas military, 9 million Americans abroad, and Alaskans who can’t register to vote in person and/or can’t afford or have the ability to get birth certificates or passports.

The SAVE Act play is designed to throw the election into disarray and delay allowing the right wing to create a bullsh*t storm of lies and drag on and ultimately seize ballots and election systems and pervert the outcome. This is the path they have been on since Bush v Gore.

Wasn’t that amazing energy on Saturday? I have not seen the like for an Alaska political candidate.

I think Alaska (and the rest of the nation quite frankly) is ready to be done with horrible negative energy and nasty sadistic vibes perpetuated by self enriching sociopaths. JKT is the opposite of all of that and the energy around his candidacy for governor is real and organic. You can feel it.

Hey Juneau. Dan Sullivan is giving his annual address to the legislature at 11am on Weds., February 18.
SAVE THE DATE and get your schedules sorted.

JKT is rocketing to the top of my gov rankings for a few reasons:

1. He's a good, kind Alaskan.
2. He has 10 years of legislative experience
3. He understands AK's problems & has a proven track record of bipartisanship
4. He's young (36) & gets what's at stake in a way older generations may not
