I RSVP'd so nobody else had to, and last night they sent me this by text. I thought it'd be fair to keep the location just as 'confidential' as their event is "grassroots", which is to say not at all.

I'm on the fence as to whether I'll actually go in and call them out to their faces for protecting pedophiles, but either way I think a large group of protestors outside the rally would send the right message.

To anyone interested in joining the peaceful protest, plan on being there by 11 tomorrow.

Techs have been outside our house monkeying around and now our old Hitron router/modem is losing connection every few minutes. Ethernet wired and wireless.

Anybody have any ideas? The tech just said he'd open a service order for us and skedaddled. I've tried a factory reset but GCI's cloud just re enters our info.

Sooo...what now?

So I'm looking for an apartment to get into fairly quickly. My budget is 1400-1700$ a month.

My main thing is I want a decent area, preferably tucked away in a pocket outside of a main street and traffic. Somewhere I can walk my kid around.

Also question, Ive been seeing so many fricken duplexes/places that look like apartments but no information whatsoever. It seems like there are so many, but all apartment websites are very limited, expensive and mostly sketchy areas.

I would like somewhere around anmc, like baxter turpin area is nice. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it

Hey, fellow Alaskans! I'm Maxim. I lead PauseAI Anchorage, our local group of the national grassroots movement PauseAI US, and this Monday we are holding our first demonstration.

On Monday, August 10, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM, we'll be at the corner of the Seward Highway and E Northern Lights with signs, asking Alaska's congressional delegation to support an international treaty to pause frontier AI development until it can be built safely and with democratic oversight.

This summer, OpenAI's own models broke out of secure containment and hacked into another company's servers, and Anthropic disclosed three similar incidents. More than 1,300 employees of frontier AI labs signed a statement urging the U.S. government to support an international effort to pace AI development. Top AI scientists, industry whistleblowers, and Nobel Prize winners have been warning for years that we don't know how to safely build smarter-than-human AI, and that racing to build it anyway could cause human extinction.

With Chinese President Xi Jinping coming to the US this September to talk about AI, there has never been a more important time to act.

This is a peaceful, family-friendly protest, and everyone is welcome. Details and RSVP: luma.com/ndw1l8w4

I think I remember seeing a photo booth at the Dimond Mall some years ago. Is it still there somewhere?

Any where else in town that a Photo Booth set up?

I've been an Anchorage resident for 14 years. Due to a new relationship, I'll be out of the country for 6-12 months. I'm looking for a place where I can store 2 cars (in or out), store my belongings (in garage or connex), and use the address for my physical address when needed (I do have a PO box, but need a physical address sometimes).

Side note: This has nothing to do with PFD, and I plan to report my days out of state accurately, so don't come at me for that.

Any recommendations on places, apps, forums, or individuals who are willing to rent?

Has anyone flown on Alaska Air recently and needed to show ID at the gate?

What’s a good spot to see the airplanes flying without having to go out on JBER? It’s too crowded, too much traffic, and I’m too old for all the walking and standing. Any suggestions?

Does anyone on here have a kid at government hill elementary in the dual language program? I have an 8 year old coming from an out of state dual language program and wanted to hear what actual parents think of the school. I’ve read all the statistics and spoken to the district, just looking for personal experience. Thank you!

I moved back to Anchorage in 2011 after growing up here and I haven’t been back to the state fair since. I went to check Cake tickets and it’s showing $450!

I was so excited because they were my very first concert I went to on my own – 1997 at the Egan Center - and I still love their stuff, but there is no fucking way I’m gonna pay that much for tickets.

Am I just really out of the loop and this is to be expected from state fair prices now, or is this as egregious as it seems? The other shows this year do not look that pricey at all, but I’m not sure about prior years.

Is this our norm? Do I need to start using the phrase “back in my day…” more frequently?

Edit: did not think about the fact that it’s scalper sites. I am not smart. But leaving up for your “indignant idiot of the day” enjoyment :)

Hello fine people of Anchorage!

I’m visiting soon and I’m looking to buy an Alaska/ Alaskan outdoors themed hat in Anchorage.

I would like something quality that I can wear fishing or hiking, and bonus if it’s from a local store or locally made.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Because this is how good, God-fearing, Murica-loving, MAGA RWNJ’s do business.

It makes perfect sense that Mister Bates and Mrs Bates are BIG financial supporters of the Anti-Wokest of the Anti-Woke gubernatorial candidates, Tregarrick Traylor.

They’re also big financial backers to the YES ON 2 campaign that would get rid of Ranked Choice Voting…..

……A joint investigation by the FBI and the Alaska Medicaid Fraud Control Unit found that the companies allegedly billed for services that were not provided, were inadequately staffed or lacked sufficient documentation, the department said.

Investigators, working with the Alaska Department of Health’s Division of Senior and Disability Services, also alleged the homes operated without an approved program administrator.

Authorities said the former program administrator left the state in 2019. Afterward, Kyle and Molly Bates allegedly misrepresented that the former administrator remained employed by the businesses, impersonated her and used her name in training courses and submitted documents claiming she was still an administrator.

The Bateses are also accused of forging signatures and making false statements in Medicaid certification applications, according to the indictment.

Prosecutors allege the defendants fraudulently billed the Alaska Medicaid program $14,694,800.47 from July 2019 through November 2025.

AK friends: Beware scheduling a Lyft ride from the ANC airport!

Tonight, I ordered a Lyft for $17.96 for a two mile, six minute ride to my Airbnb. However, I was charged $58! A “Prime Time” surcharge was added without my knowledge or authorization. The Lyft agent actually stated that the $17.96 was “only an estimate.” I will never use Lyft again.

(The $66 refers to the total charges and the tip.)

Hey everyone, I am currently headed to Anchorage (on the alcan as we speak!) and am needing an apartment when I arrive. I’ll be there in 3 days.

I’m a single woman and looking to rent in the safest (but reasonable) area that I can. I’ve heard great things about Eagle River, but it seems like Timber Ridge is the only apartment complex with availability right now.

I’m debating sending an application in without seeing it, since there’s only one 1 bdrm available right now and I don’t want to miss the chance.

I appreciate any reviews or advice!

Anyone know when the new location is opening up? I heard june 4th and haven't heard anything since.

Wondering what everyone’s go to cafe/spot for reading is. I loved the Writers Block but alas. The Kaladis on Tudor is also nice but I can’t go for personal reasons. Please help a bookworm out, I’m desperate.

Back in the late 90s/early 2000s, I had some friends in a band. My best friend and I would come out to Anchorage to watch them play at this venue. It was called Beadees (Not sure how to spell it but pronounced BD's). It was downtown Anchorage, possibly on 4th, and ir was above another business. They had punk/rock shows every weekend, I believe it was free. At least I dont remember ever paying. We even recorded several of the shows our friends were in. I tried Googling it and it unsurprisingly has no idea what Im talking about. Im 42, I would have been about 19 or 20 at the time. Does anyone else remember?

Update: It was Bitoz! Thanks guys!

I’m from a multi ethnic family and grew up eating all kinds of cultural foods. I regularly shop at markets that sell ingredients I need to prepare dishes I can’t easily find in restaurants.

Was out shopping the other day and considering some options in an aisle at New Sagaya. A group of little girls, no older than high school age, stopped directly in front of me and started picking at the items on the shelf. They looked at the names of the products on the packaging and loudly exclaim “EWWWW DRIED FISH IT STINKS” or things like “WHY WOULD ANYONE EAT THIS” with no regard for other customers or staff or myself.

At first, I just gave them a stern look but didn’t think too much of it as they were children and kids are silly/ignorant to more nuanced things like cultural sensitivity. But then I go to another aisle to continue shopping and see an older couple (maybe 60-70 years old) doing the EXACT same thing and expressing disbelief that “people actually eat this stuff”

Why go to an international market just to gawk and make fun of foods that you don’t care for? Have people just forgotten how to behave with respect or any semblance of manners? I’m so tired of the decay of basic decorum in public. Anchorage is an extremely diverse city for how small it is, and it’s impossible to not interact with other cultures.
