Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family.
His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

Here is a remarkable demonstration of how much a pollster's choices affect the results.
@joshclinton took a single poll and depending on the weighting scheme, he could change the Harris-Trump margin by as much as *8 points*.

All of a sudden, it seems like everyone loves nuclear power. On Shift Key this week, @robinsonmeyer & guest host Jillian Goodman talk atomic politics with @ThirdWayEnergy's @jsfreed. Listen at links below or wherever you get your podcasts. (I'll be back to the show next week).
