NEW: I was at Dulles yesterday when the South African refugees arrived. I met an Afrikaner family excited to start a new life in Idaho www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Imagining an Afrikan accent saying “ruby ridge”

I figured Sand Point/Priest Lake area was a shoo-in.

the south africans are going to twin falls and even idaho is like “what the hell, you suspended the refugee resettlement program but are sending us these folks?” https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/afrikaner-refugees-arrive-idaho-despite-broader-program-suspension-south-african/277-1a7adba0-bec7-4bb5-aa3d-1bdb2a6f1cd0

They were too stupid and lazy to succeed economically in South Africa despite all of the structural advantages still enjoyed by whites there to this day. Damn straight no state wants welfare kings and queens of this magnitude, at least actual refugees are typically hard workers.

One of the many very very funny parts of my South African history courses was Dr. Ross going in on the Afrikaners and how all their mines had unnecessary switches and buttons for the Afrikaners to flip and press because under Apartheid Blacks weren't allowed to flip switches or press buttons.

idaho has too many city names that end with “falls”

brianmfloyd.bsky.social•19 days ago

twin falls is best known as the town where evel knievel tried (and failed) to shoot himself over the snake river canyon in a rocket

This is Doug Martsch erasure

jonhegglund.bsky.social•19 days ago

every time there's an election for a statewide office I write in "Doug Martsch"

Idaho Falls has the national laboratory at least, but I spent too much time there for work (more than zero)

iansidevoice.bsky.social•20 days ago

I would have given 10:1.

Do they not know that according to the majority of southern Idaho residents, in 1978 God changed his mind about black people!?!?

scaggsvillan.bsky.social•20 days ago

wait really? woulda put good money on coeur d'alene

brianmfloyd.bsky.social•20 days ago

against all odds they’re going to the opposite corner of the state

gabeynotgabby.bsky.social•21 days ago

If I were one of the dozens of people living in northern Idaho who isn't a christo-fascy white supremacist I'd be so mad at how these freaks nationwide (and now globally! woo!) have such a fetish for northern Idaho as their little ethno state playground
