The Upper Snake River Valley today. #IdahoEscape

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

Building to a classic upper Snake River Day with cumulus towering into nimbus right over your head. And that's when the wind starts, Dorothy. This has been a great #Idaho day,

How does the Catholic Church categorize this kind of demon? #Dogma

Corruption at its finest.

Gee if only someone warned them about voting for an Orange Pig🥱🤷🏻‍♀️ www.forbes.com/sites/eriksh...

NEW: Environmental scientists said a new EPA directive could lead to weakened chemical protections, such as revised limits on how much arsenic is allowed in drinking water or the amount of lead considered acceptable in paint or soil. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

RUN AWAYYYYY

Holy moly! 77% of Americans blame Trump for soaring gas prices — higher than Bush (71%), Obama (64%) or Biden (70%). Crosses ALL party lines: 95% Democrats, 82% Independents and 55% Republicans blame Trump! 64% say the Iran war is NOT worth higher prices. #TrumpsGasCrisis

It's Friday, which is as good an excuse as any to remind you about my fantasy subway maps. The Middle Earth Public Transit Authority needs your support! #Tolkien #Subway #Maps #LoTR You can purchase prints and such (w/o the water mark) here: www.etsy.com/shop/Surpris...

Three years ago a cherry tomato rolled under my fridge. Today we celebrate our anniversary. It’s the only thing in my home that hasn’t judged me, left me, or asked why I breathe like that.

Union soldiers died to end slavery. Marchers died to secure the vote. The Roberts Court decided their sacrifice didn’t matter.

I'm not crying, you're crying - wife asked me if I had a cable. Yes, yes I did!

Shit is getting real for the midterms when they blast another hole in signature bipartisan legislation from the Civil Rights era and the amendment signed by Reagan.

It cost me $177 to renew my driver license today. Requiring certain ID to vote without making that ID easy, accessible, and free is 100% a poll tax.

Three men deciding women's medication for everyone nationwide. Be angry. This emphasizes the people's initiative to decriminalize abortion in Idaho. #idpol www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

In case you’re wondering, this is a real post.

If you're like me, you pick up souvenirs from the places you've been. Lately I've been trying to organize my rocks creatively and realized I have too many rocks. I'm thinking of doing something like this Rock Library and encourage kids to take rocks that they take a fancy to.

The rich people of today only have two ideas: 1. Let’s kill everyone 2. I need a bunker so after we kill everyone I can emerge from underground, spread my wings like a peacock, and continue to be rich

These Latter-day Saint filmmakers are done playing it safe. They are turning to horror movies to explore faith issues.

We’re are in the middle of stagflation and Congress does this?! How does this help with food security given stagflation and how everyday Americans are hurting to pay for food? US House passes ‘skinny’ farm bill that keeps big GOP cuts to food assistance www.newsfromthestates.com/article/us-h...

Microwaves: here’s your hot bowl of cold pasta.

I got a buzz cut today.

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

This seems like a perfect acquisition for the Sawtooth Society and/or the Nature Conservancy. Its worth much more than this as a public asset. pugetpress.com/2026/04/23/m...

The White House is very concerned about the prevalence of violence. kutv.com/news/nation-...

I wasn't thrilled with @npr.org's coverage of the Monsanto lawsuit today. They brought an Iowa farmer on who straight-up seemed like a corporate PR plant, just sat there babbling about how he couldn't feed the world without pesticides, and how farms just can't exist without them.

Damn, I miss the old time corruption and shenanigans of the 20th century. You know, like when Marilyn Monroe was the Press Secretary and John Wayne commanded the troops.

Wow. The DOJ is dumbing down AI to write legal briefs that sound like PedoFuhrer wrote them.

“If you don’t think $400M of TAXPAYER money is a good investment to create a secure facility at the White House…” -Lindsey Graham We warned you that the taxpayers were going to pay for his ballroom.

This insightful thread made me reflect on how I, a Gen Xer, was socialized to think about the political agency of ordinary citizens...and how those historical "lessons" that I'd imbibed, drawn from the history of the 1960s and 70s, just don't ring so true to today's young adults.
