Been listening to @thecure Songs of a Live World today. At some point @theryman also popped in my feed. Brilliant idea!! When The Cure comes back to the States, please do some nights at The Ryman!! I will accept minimal praise and adoration for the idea and a couple tickets.

Was just thinking about this last weekend. Prime location that has sat fallow for way too long.

Fire destroyed a retirement community perched above the North End 20 years ago this week. After two decades of hopes and dreams... the site is for sale https://t.co/F5gvXBKG8n

@artofmanliness I've already watched Fight Club.

A new device developed in Boise could make it faster and cheaper to detect PFAS — the so-called “forever chemicals” linked to serious health risks — directly in the field and in real time.

A Boise pilot helped create the term "flying saucer."

In 1947, Kenneth Arnold reported seeing mysterious objects near Mount Rainier. His description launched America’s modern UFO obsession.

Now, nearly 80 years later, the Pentagon is still releasing UFO/UAP files.

Okay.... that was pretty cool.

@DonLDay This makes me so happy.

Construction near the Boise Farmers Market may impact traffic, but organizers say the market is still open and ready for the community. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead, stay patient, and continue supporting local this weekend.

@grey4626 "emasculated heresies" made me laugh out loud. It would also be a GREAT emo band name.

Since 2002, local news has shrunk by 75%. When I started in news in Boise, ONE newsroom alone was larger than ALL of them are now.
In the last decade, @BoiseDev has grown to 10 reporters. No paywall, clickbait or AI. Locally owned.
Today, #LocalNewsDay, we're asking for support:

Happy #NationalSiameseCatDay from Jade and Minnie. I really think people should get the day off.

@untappd Antarctica would be a tough tick. Probably harder than North Korea.

Thursday night was "Street Eats" at the Boise Zoo, part of the festivities at Treefort. Fifteen different chefs, from fifteen different restaurants were on hand, cooking some of their favorite dishes for those in attendance.

Hong Kong: On March 23, 2026, the Hong Kong government changed the implementing rules relating to the National Security Law. It is now a criminal offense to refuse to give the Hong Kong police the passwords or decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices including cellphones and laptops. This legal change applies to everyone, including U.S. citizens, in Hong Kong, arriving or just transiting Hong Kong International Airport. In addition, the Hong Kong government also has more authority to take and keep any personal devices, as evidence, that they claim are linked to national security offenses.

Death once had a near-Chuck-Norris experience.

Bill O'Reilly launching a "We'll Do It Live" podcast is perhaps the best most self-aware name for a podcast of all time.

🐾 Happy World Wolverine Day!

Today we’re celebrating Laura, Zoo Boise’s wolverine. In the wild, wolverines thrive in snowy, wooded mountain regions. Although they are rarely seen in the wild, guests at Zoo Boise have the unique opportunity to see this animal up close.
