ATTENTION anchorage drivers, when a pedestrian motions you to go first, please just go first...

Seriously. There's a lot of reasons they might be doing this. I'll list a few.

  1. The angle of the sun can make it hard to see the driver. They might not be able to see through the glass

  2. There's like 6 cars behind you and they don't have the energy to dash. Or are injurea

  3. They have a weeks worth of groceries on their back and are just chilling for a second.

  4. They are on drugs and trying to be nice. There's little chance of themunderstanding the situation, just go

  5. They'd rather not put themselves in front of a giant death machine driven by a stranger

  6. They're worried about landmines and want you to get blown up first. There aren't any, just go first

  7. They are completely fucking spaced out from working 13 hours and tate waiting on a traffic signal that doesn't exist.

That last one happens more often than I care to admit...

As someone who hates driving and enjoys walking, most drivers are actually really courteous towards us self ambulatory folk. How drivers treat each other is absolutely insane. It's pretty entertaining but really unsafe, please incorporate some forgiveness into your driving.

There wasn't much of a point to this, just like writing dumb shit.

Stay groovy y'all :)

What happened at 36th and New Seward this morning?

I was West bound on 36th this morning and the light was stuck. There were multiple fire trucks, police and an ambulance, but I didn't see any cars involved. Was another pedestrian hit?

Gci question

I got my mom a new unlocked google pixel 10, she uses gci. She went into gci and they said they couldn't get it to connect. Does gci support esims? I thought all carriers did now. Not sure of this is a carrier being ancient or if maybe she got bad help.

Anybody know some nerf groups in Alaska?

I know this is a long shot (not the blaster), but I've been trying to find nerf events/groups/ companies in Alaska (specifically the Anchorage/Palmer/Wasilla area) for a little while now. Unfortunately, I've only found The Dart Ground, which looks somewhat small and geared towards small kids. If anyone knows about some nerf groups near Anchorage, I'd love to hear about them!

EasyPark

LOL WTF is this? Time on the meter, but I still got a ticket?

Oh, I parked the wrong way.. on the side of the road. Since when is that against the law? Must be new.

These EasyPark guys will ticket you for anything, I swear.

Another police involved shooting

Article -

https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2026/08/19/anchorage-police-investigate-downtown-officer-involved-shooting/

I don't want to jump to conclusions, I know these situations can be hectic and nerve-wracking. But the way this article reads to me, one officer just decided to fire upon the woman cause "hey, why not?" Like how often do we here of shooting where only one shot is fired? It's always multiple rounds fire and the officer is like "yeah, I feared for my life."

Good Place for Non Dealership Oil Change?

Have a seven year old Audi. Every oil change at the dealership came with a ton of added maintenance. Any suggestions?

Treg that law

I've decided that there are quite a few laws that I will Treg going forward... he's an inspiration!

*treg: verb, to disobey a law because you feel in your heart that it is unconstitutional.

Example: I tregged that red light, because it's unconstitutionally impeding my work commute.

Check your voter registration

Husband and I checked a month ago and were confirmed. Just checked again tonight and we are no longer registered voters!

Had to reregister but application was "approved" very quickly.

Check your status and reregister ASAP.
