A detail of a painting at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Trump is standing behind a half naked woman reaching around her grabbing her breast and her crotch. 4 Secret Service men stand in the background not stopping him - one has his penis sticking through the zipper in his pants. There is other imagery of hyenas frogs dogs Kerberos etc.

Yep, before Mount Idaho, which basically became a ghost town by 1910 and then it was moved to Grangeville

Reading the history of that place is wild. The fact that the town was two camps named Washington and Richmond and people from one group did not mix with the other and the fact that nobody massacred the other is wild.

And it was the county seat for Idaho County during that time too.

Speaking of Secesh, I have to run up there today for work. The last time I was at the stage stop I was wearing my "Protect Trans Kids" shirt. I definitely got some looks, but I didn't get run out of there or anything. Maybe I am THAT white..

This tracks with numbers I've seen. I'm waiting on some local data for housing starts, but that's starting to look shaky too.

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are β€œimmediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Which is true? Either Trump’s Labor Department actually believes that immigration enforcement is threatening food security, or they are pretending the threat is real in order to crush wages for farm workers.

If anyone is hiking around Idaho and sees Fred Ramsdell also hiking somewhere in Idaho, you might want to let him know he's won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and he should call the committee back.

If that swing is with a wrecking ball, sure.

I guess I'm feeling my sadistic side today, I really don't want to punch him, but flaying him alive? That honestly sounds relaxing.

Today is our first day without federal funding. It may sound like a loss, but to us it feels like a declaration. Our strength has always come from you. Public media belongs to you, to the people who power it. And we’re not going anywhere.

The "Generals gathered in their masses to hear from two gigantic asses" headline is sitting right there for whoever is wise enough to jump on it.

This also fat shames, so maybe not that?

Hmm, I'd also ask a physicist, optics is an interesting field that I know almost nothing about. Let me see if my textbook by Alex Filippenko touches on it in its Optics chapters.

Hey @thomasjrennie.bsky.social I guess someone took your "Sullivan is the problem" take too literally.

I'm aiming for humor here, and I'd get a million bad takes from bots over in Hell, I mean X.
