After several days of waiting out a storm near Unalaska, the Pan Viva is on the move and headed to its destination port in Washington. The U.S. Coast Guard order which kept the vessel in place for most of Monday has been lifted. https://t.co/xwG7fVwG5E

Enormous props to @sofiastuartrasi and Andy Lusk with @KUCBNews for chasing this down.

It really shows the power of community reporting — they noticed something weird around town, followed up, and whaddaya know, it’s an “item of national interest.” Support community journalism!

23andMe user data was seemingly stolen in a credential stuffing campaign that targeted Ashkenazi Jews. Also maybe data from Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Sergey Brin is in the leak? 23andMe seems to be confirming the incident yet hasn't validated the data https://t.co/9Rq4DcqHnP

Ancient bear bones were found in two Aleutian Islands dig sites but there isn't any historical records of bears on the islands and currently, there aren't any here. So, researchers are asking locals for passed down information on how they got here. 🐻

JUST IN: Scientists at Exxon accurately predicted how much global warming would occur from burning fossil fuels in research beginning in 1977, a study finds, but the company sowed doubt about the science anyway — helping to delay federal climate action.

@RominPlusFans Good work but it definitely missed something. And I realized it once the credits started rolling in … it’s produced mostly by men 🙄

I got a really kind message from a WFYI listener yesterday and it made me really happy.

Kind messages matter — share them! Compliment people!

Cheers to 2023 and new adventures 🥂
