Good afternoon. It’s Thursday, Sept. 24.

In today's newsletter:

  • Mary Peltola’s U.S. Senate campaign has removed a social media post that used appropriated imagery, including of a factory trawler owned by an Alaska company, to attack the trawling industry and its wasteful bycatch of fish.

  • The body of a 59-year-old Akiachak man was found this week in the Kuskokwim River, the latest in a series of boating deaths in the region.

  • There's plenty to enjoy in and around Anchorage this weekend, from live music and improv shows to Oktoberfest at Alyeska Resort.

In Ohio, police for months had been getting complaints about a runaway goat that was jumping on top of parked cars, scratching and denting them. Eventually, the goat — named Cardio by officers because of the workout he gave them during the chase — was surrendered to a shelter by his owner. Now, he's found his herd.

Others might also stop by.

Anchorage weather
It's sunny today with a high around 54 degrees. Looking ahead, we can expect a 30% chance of rain Friday, followed by a higher likelihood of rain through the weekend as daytime highs remain in the low to mid-50s.

Here’s what else is making headlines in Alaska today.
