Jaw-Dropping Report Names One Idaho College “Worst In America”
There are many reasons to distrust the standard US News & World Report rankings of the Best Colleges In America. Author Malcolm Gladwell has done plenty of research to prove the lack of fundamental research in the annual report, which seems critical for colleges to be highly ranked. It's no surprise that the top three schools in 2024 are Princeton and MIT, and a tie for third between Harvard and Stanford.

Montana Ranchers Burned Out: Where’s the Big Talk Now?
Where are our guys? Has anyone heard from Tester or Raines yet on help for the ranchers who have been burned out by the fires? There are 56 huge fires now burning in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Most of ours are related to the fierce lightning that moved through last Wednesday. I saw some of the most gut-wrenching photos this morning of a family's cows that couldn't get out of the way in time. It broke my heart to see this cruelty that Mother Nature delivered to them. I love all my animals, much like most ranchers, and I don't know if I could handle it either. Cows and their calves lying there next to each other where they died an awful death. I wish there was more we could do.
You need to catch up on Idaho’s most-buzzed podcast of the summer
Continuations, sequels, follow-ups … no matter what you call them … are tough to pull off. With any luck, a first season garners some success. But when a second season is promised, fan expectations are a tough hurdle to clear. All the more reason to consider this summer’s Season 2 of Extremely American a pretty big success.

Netflix Takes Underhanded Shot At Idaho In New Blockbuster
Netflix is truly an amazing company. When it started in 1997, they changed how some people rented movies. Instead of going to a Blockbuster or Family Video, you could order your movies online, and they would send them to you via mail. After watching them, you'd simply return them in the mail and order your next film. They did this without late fees and the hassle of movies not being in stock. This was especially great for Idahoans in rural areas where video stores were sometimes over an hour away. Who wants to make that kind of drive in the snow for one movie? Who wants to make that drive in good weather for one movie? Not me!
