From a raw economic perspective, alaska runs its economy on oil money. It seems like alaska would benefit from monster spike in oil. Are there other things that would pull the benefit back in the Iran war?

Energy prices surge as tanker disruptions and facility shutdowns rattle global supply The war in the Mideast is sending shudders through global energy markets. Oil prices are up more than 8%, and European natural gas futures are spiking 42% in the wake of the shutdown of a major suppli...

One of the most insane things of everything insane about the iran conflict is oil prices are rising significantly...which is GOOD for the economy of alaska. Of course though at the cost of innocent lives. #Iran #alaska #oil

The Eagles: Kwigillingok students left their village after Halong. But their basketball team plays on How the Lower Kuskokwim School District and community members are keeping local basketball teams going, even far from home.

A wonderful story from KYUK. A school basketball team plays under their village banner even after the devastation of Typhoon Halong closed their school

It’s all about the dogs. If you love the dogs, you are on the team.

Now grab a shovel or something… there is always work to be done πŸ˜‰

Mushing is a very small world, and if someone loves sled dogs and engages with the sport, they are as much a part of it as the mushers, handlers, vets, race volunteers, etc! In general, if you’re part of the community (which you ARE) and reach out to a musher, they’ll only be happy to hear from you.

After facing β€˜unnecessary grilling,’ Sullivan returns to Legislature with limit on questions - The Alaska Current Last year's question-and-answer session between legislators and Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan featured such brutal questions.

After last year’s tense Q&A with Dan Sullivan, the senator is reportedly limiting questions following this year’s legislative address to one per caucus β€” drawing frustration from lawmakers who want answers as he heads toward a challenge from Mary Peltola. thealaskacurrent.com/2026/02/18/a...

I am now an author! But also kind of an editor? Special thanks to several alaskan scientists who helped me review this book. I make no money off this, and it'll be used by my school district!

Live updates: Trump's EPA revokes scientific finding that underpinned US fight against climate change The Trump administration revoked a scientific finding at the center of U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, a significant rollback of regulations.

The US government can no longer be relied on for valid science on climate change.

Reference European government science sources as a better option, select universities too.

@davidho.bsky.social any others you would put at the top for reliability now?

I showed my teen the Amazon Ring super bowl ad with no context, and even she was unsettled. I actually have an unopened Ring, and now I have zero interest in installing it.
