I learned about turpentine workers from a Zora Neale Hurston documentary. Thank you.

Bragging about youthfulness is so 2025.

Mike Simpson - who looks like he died 5 years ago and nobody told him - used the words 'Idahoans are tired of status quo in Washington DC' in his TV ad.

Mike Simpson has been in DC for 27 years.

TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS!!

Mike Simpson IS the status quo in DC.

I had no idea! I've parked 5' from crosswalks for about 35 years.

Ahh, that makes sense. I thought maybe the people who lived there were sick of my car being in 'their spot'.

#Boise - anyone ever get a ticket or warning about parking within 20’ of a crosswalk?
In 35 years I’ve never heard of this. I was 5’ from the crosswalk of an intersection on 14th.

The CEO of Dr Pepper, Tim Cofer, makes $7 million dollars a year and their entire advertising campaign right now is how generous they are to offer $100,000 to the student who can throw the most footballs into an oversized can.

Shoofly is one I had to google. I don't think I've had molasses since I was 6.

I thought everyone ate pumpkin pie! I want to hang out with the apple crumb and coconut pie people.

(I had to google three of these, FYI)

It is sad to me that the NCAA and Dr Pepper talk about providing one student with tuition (she threw footballs at a target) while LSU is using $54M in actual Louisiana tax dollars to fire their last coach.

$54M would pay 4-year tuitions for 1,083 students at LSU.

Priorities, NCAA.

The commercials on the channel I'm watching have offered me 'vibrational therapy', 'full body repair', and 'peak masculinity'.

Three things - for just 3 payments of $49.99 - that I'M SURE would make my life better!

There’s a few lines from Paul’s letter to Timothy that feel close:

Jim Risch - you coward - come back to Idaho and meet us in person.

19 years in office and all you've done is OPPOSE helping Americans - so come talk to us in person (not on the phone) and tell us why you're now just rolling over and agreeing to ideas that hurt us even more.

I voted, I met the Mayor of Boise, and I met a new neighbor.
Pretty good day in the West Side neighborhood.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

St. Al's with the new 'Bring It' advertisement - yikes.
It's like MMA meets hospital services. That was horrible.

(And the scene with the woman holding her leg in pain, just like Peter added a humorous element they probably didn't intend)

If I'm watching a movie on Prime and a commercial comes on for Rexulti, should I feel paranoid that my taste in movies may not be good for my overall mood?

I just wanted to watch a Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

(Dear Prime: I mute the TV during your ads)

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Christianity is a religion about following Jesus’ teachings of love, forgiveness, and spiritual salvation.

Christian nationalism is a political movement that uses Christian symbols and language to justify power, exclusion, and control — often in ways that conflict with Christianity’s core message.
