NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

Happy Birthday to Dr Maurice Hilleman, born on this day in 1919 in Miles City! Have you heard of him? Even if you don’t know who he is, he has probably affected your life. Dr. Hilleman was one of the greatest scientists the world has known, but he did his work out of the limelight. hillemanfilm.com

My wife does most of the deep cleaning around the house and I commission our fantasy football league. It’s just what works for our family.

My mom is back in Spokane this weekend for a family reunion - for her best friend from high school’s family. Which makes total sense if you know my mom.

@warriorsps2.bsky.social happy birthday

For our anniversary my wife asked to watch Gone in 60 Seconds. She had a big Nic Cage crush as a child.

Seeing other dads at the brewery in that hour after our wives got home and took the kids during spring break week >>>

It’s either spring break, or daycare is closed - but you can’t close daycare and label it a break.

An HOA where certain homes are required to grill on certain days to provide a nice aroma to the neighborhood.

This month I’ve asked my wife if she would play the national anthem on the saxophone, and if she would do a fire building competition against a few of my friends wives. I’m confident this is why she married me.

In my wildest dream Annie and I are both stay at home parents but the kids still go to daycare (4 days a week tho).

I would pay for a social media that harnesses the energy of 2009-2012 twitter. All the sports. Athletes actually responding. Just jokes and friends! Politics were still grown up so we never had to talk about them. The good old days!

If I had a personal chef, that person would be furious at how often they’re wasting their talent making rice krispy treats.

New music video I directed for the young and talented Jaden Decker! Nothing More to Say youtu.be/e66RN8wipMo?...

In 2023, we started a project of putting NCAA football team logos over state outlines, because we noticed that Texas teams do this all the time. We took a break during the season, but we're starting back up again. Next up, Montana. 1/1

In a long month this felt like a small win! montanafreepress.org/2025/02/17/c...

My daughter’s first day of 2 year old gymnastics. The absolute best kind of chaos.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

Ryan Fetherston’s campaign for Montana Governor in 2036 starts now.

NEW: In a victory for voters, the U.S. Supreme Court today rejected hearing an appeal from the Montana secretary of state to review two voter suppression laws that had been struck down by the Montana Supreme Court. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7aH...

Republicans not caring about legal enforceability or cost becoming a weird theme in recent years.

I was all in on tracking the confirmations and everything in 2017, but I simply don’t have the energy to do it again. I want to call and voice my opinion, but I just know it doesn’t matter to my representatives right now. I hope to feel more rejuvenated in 4 years but I’m not wildly optimistic.

I love a good non-profit night at a taproom. Drinking beer should always feel that accomplishing.

My love language is taking advantage of pre-tax accounts. I love my wife extra the days her flex account pays for daycare.

I have a ways to go on my two-year bean challenge. Trying to see how many varieties I can try. Most from @ranchogordo.bsky.social. #NewYear #resolutions

Many people would be surprised to learn this. It would be fascinating to see this by party.

Here's some of my favorite projects of the year. I did this on Twitter every year, moving the tradition over to here!

This took me over an hour to read, but I highly encourage Montanans, and Helenan’s especially to take the time… www.propublica.org/article/thom...

There should be a giant bell at each table at suds hut and when your table is all getting chicken dinner with ranch for the salad you get to just go crazy ringing it for like 5-7 seconds but then you gotta calm down a little because it’s a family establishment

Snuck to Indy for the B1G championship, but with 3 of my fishiest friends. In exchange for them going to the ducks game, I’m only going to talk fishing for the next 72 hours. Worth it #WinTheDay #GoDucks

Washington Grizzly Stadium is a prime example of building a stadium too big for a fan base. Hosting a playoff game tonight and that thing isn’t close to capacity… #ESG #MontanaSTATE

*chumbawamba voice* he drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a whiskey drink…

I’ve noticed the people smoking cigarettes while driving look visibly less stressed than those not smoking. Real cig people seem noticeably more chill than vape people too (no offense vape people).
