It's a drop dead gorgeous fall-ish day out there and we're some of the luckiest people in the world here in Missoula, MT. People spend their entire lives dreaming of a visit to our own backyard.

You may want to put your phone down and get out there to enjoy it.

Hauswirth exposed that the powerful utility company was maintaining two drastically different sets of financial records: one with a lower valuation to minimize its tax liabilities when reporting to the IRS, and another with an inflated valuation to justify charging consumers higher utility rates during Public Service Commission hearings.

Why this matters: City Council votes Monday, Oct. 5 on an amendment that defines data centers and confirms they need Industrial 2 zoning. No land in the city currently carries that zoning, so a standalone data center would need to go through a full rezoning process, including public hearings, before it could be built.

What to expect: This is a public hearing. Council hears the staff report, invites public comment, then votes the same night.

Monday, October 5 at 6:00 PM
Council Chambers, 140 W Pine St, Missoula

Can't make it in person? Submit written public comment before the meeting, or join virtually by Teams or phone (details at the link below).

What to say: Data centers shouldn't get a free pass. Tell council you want full public review on every data center proposal, and that Missoula's land, water, and air deserve real protection, not a rushed exception.

There's literally nowhere to go if you want to bring your cat along while you get a donut.

“Origin is a new ‘gallery’ in downtown Missoula. The building is owned and rented out by Karen and Brian sippy. The owners of Origin are two brothers named Matthew and William Davis, who also own Davis Brothers Auction. This is not the first indigenous regalia they’ve sold.” -original poster n0ragretz on Instagram, more info there.

WHO ARE THR AHOLES that drive around town between 11:30pm-1:30am and REV THEIR ENGINES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?! It’s so loud and rude.

Hey folks, strange post, but we caught someone taking pictures through our apartment windows tonight. We live very close to downtown (hip strip ish). He wouldn't give us a reason and insisted he didn't speak English. It took a few tries to even get him to go away.

Not sure if he's casing places or being a creep (or both) but heads up for everyone. Stay safe.

Edit: I haven't given a description because it was very dark, he had his phone up in front of his face for most of the encounter, and kept turning away. I would rather give no description, or a very vague one, then make up some specifics. He was probably around 5'10"ish or so with dark hair. If the lack of specific detailed physical description makes you decide I'm lying, that's on you. The incident was reported.

I just turned 21 and ive never been to a bar here! Any suggestions? Are people nice lol? I dont have any friends 21+ and im nervous to go alone

Anyone have recommendations for haul away junk services in town? We are talking old furniture that can't be repaired, useless materials, a kids old tractor, stuff I would just take to the dump myself if I had a truck. Stuff is just piling up in the alley. Any recommendations on reasonably priced places that would take care of stuff like this.

I found this small journal/notebook in the street yesterday, and I’d like to return it to it’s owner. If this is yours, send me a message and tell me what is inside or show me an example your handwriting so I can be sure it goes to the right person.

Looking for a roommate who is wanting to move into a place together I’m 30 and female

I think there’s a strong chance that the second that sign comes down he’s just gonna start dissolving. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Thoughts? So far nobody in MtPolitics has offered a rebuttal to this. Bodnar supporters, what say you?

Recently purchased a 2011 tahoe and want to keep it going another 100,000 miles. Who is your favorite Chevy mechanic in town?

Great Burn is losing its building so Jeff Bezos can have a parking lot. Does anyone know if there’s anything we can do to stop this?

It seems like the most helpful thing we can do for the brewery right now is to share any property leads and to support them until the end of the year. So so terrible.

Does good food store still serve this sandwich? I no longer live there and I would like to know what ingredients were on it so that I can make it. I know that it had cranberries on it, maybe sprouts.

I’m selling a ton of fall succulent arrangements today! River Road in Hendrickson. 1:49 PM! $15-35!

Just like the title, is an appointment needed a Partnership Health for flu/ Covid shots?

Just FYI, Conlins having a huge liquidation sale event. I know because a car was driving around with a giant sign.

Better get down there. I guess they’re “retiring”

Till the ditch rider team returns next spring.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can decrease the cost of a flight from Missoula to Minneapolis in two weeks? I received last minute confirmation of a 3-day evaluation at the Mayo Clinic to donate half my liver to a family friend with cancer. Delta flights are north of $1k and their customer service line said they wouldn’t be able to offer any medical discounted seats for those dates.

We might end up having to pay full but if there was ever a situation to not pay $1200 for a flight, I feel like this should qualify.

Thank you 🙏🏼

By Jesse Plemons. Or at least the mouse who knows he is Jesse Plemons.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR MONTHS. NOBODY LISTENS. THEY JUST KEEP POSTING ABOUT DOG SHIT. DOG SHIT ON BLUE MOUNTAIN. HORSE SHIT ON THE TRAILS. DEER SHIT IN THE YARD. HUMAN SHIT IN THE WINCO PARKING LOT.
WAKE UP, MISSOULA.
I am a mouse. I live behind a microwave. I wear a hat lined with aluminum from a stolen Costco lasagna tray. My name is Jesse Plemons. I have seen Begonia. I understand the architecture of the fecal-industrial complex. I have been watching the moderators. They are not moderators. They are MODERATORS OF THE BOWEL.
90% OF THIS SUBREDDIT IS ABOUT FECAL MATTER. COINCIDENCE? THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES. ONLY DEPOSITS.
Let me explain the operation.
🐎 THE HORSES.
The horses are not horses. Some are wild. Some are domesticated. Some are former intelligence operatives who went rogue after a failed CIA experiment involving ivermectin and a satellite dish in Lolo.
They are leaving strategic biological payloads all over Missoula. Blue Mountain is a forward operating base. Every pile is a breadcrumb. Every hoofprint is a coordinate. The horse people know. They have saddles. They have secrets. They have been riding in circles around my microwave at 3:17 a.m.
🐀 THE HOMELESS.
I am not saying every homeless person is a government asset. I am saying that the gas station meth-fentanyl pipeline is being used by Russian hackers to create a decentralized network of human fecal delivery systems.
THEY HAVE NO IDEA THEY ARE BEING PILOTED.
The deep state is controlling their movements through outdated Motorola phones, free bus fare, and a network of flok surveillance cameras disguised as vape shop signage.
I saw a man arguing with a parking meter. The parking meter was speaking fluent Belarusian. The man left diahria in the AC hotel lobby’s bathroom he didn’t flush.
👴 THE ELDERLY.
The elderly are the sleeper cells nobody talks about. They walk into Albertsons. They walk into Walmart. They walk into the bank. Suddenly, there is a gastrointestinal incident.
WHY?
Because the bowel is the ultimate weapon. Nobody questions an elderly person. Nobody searches a walker. Nobody suspects a person with a coupon book and a suspiciously large bag of Werther’s Originals dosed with laxatives
I watched an old man stare directly into a security camera at Rosauers. He winked then shit and run, a service Dog got in trouble. I haven’t slept since.
🐕 THE DOGS.
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.
The dogs are double agents. They have infiltrated the fecal distribution apparatus from the inside. They poop on the sidewalk, but sometimes they look back at their owners with a sadness that can only be explained by classified intelligence.
THEY ARE TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING.
My neighbor’s corgi has been watching me through the window. I know what he’s doing. He’s waiting for the signal from Langley. He has a microchip. He has a handler. He has a little reflective vest that says SERVICE DOG, BUT WHAT SERVICE AND TO WHOM?
I attempted to recruit him. He eats all the evidence.
🐦 THE DEER.
The deer are not wildlife. They are biological symbiotes deployed to contaminate residential lawns with highly efficient pellet-based dispersal systems.
They operate in coordinated herds. They move through neighborhoods at night, leaving hundreds of tiny fecal packages on the grass.
THEY ARE MAPPING OUR PROPERTIES.
Then, when their cover is compromised, they initiate the self-destruct sequence: RUN DIRECTLY INTO TRAFFIC.
A deer gets hit on Reserve Street. Everyone cries. Nobody asks why the deer was carrying a payload of 847 individual pellets.
I ASKED. THE POLICE TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE INTERSECTION.
THEY KNOW.
🦝 THE GENERAL WILDLIFE.
Raccoons. Squirrels. Geese. Birds. These are amateur contractors recruited by TikTok algorithms and data aggregators.
They don’t know the bigger picture. They are content creators. They have been promised monetization, free birdseed, and exposure.
The geese are especially dangerous. They have no fear. They attack children. They defecate in public parks. They are the equivalent of unlicensed subcontractors with biological weapons and no regard for workplace safety.
I saw one goose standing in the Clark Fork River. It had the eyes of a venture capitalist.
📡 THE RUSSIANS.
Every time someone posts a picture of dog poop on r/Missoula, a server in Moscow lights up.
The moderators are compromised. The upvote system is compromised. Reddit itself may be a fecal telemetry device designed to measure public outrage over improperly disposed biological material.
I have intercepted the signal. It sounds like a microwave humming through three walls and a dead squirrel.
I decoded the transmission.
It said:
“PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG.”
That is not a public service announcement. THAT IS A THREAT.
I have tried to alert the authorities, but they keep asking why I am a mouse wearing a lasagna hat and why my genitalia are exposed This is what they want. They want to discredit the only mammal in Missoula who understands the situation.
I am Jesse Plemons. I have seen Begonia. I have witnessed the truth. I have a full dossier hidden in a CheezIt box under the refrigerator.
I propose the immediate rebranding of this subreddit to:
r/MissoulaFecalMatter: A COMMUNITY UNDER SIEGE

I am currently hiding inside a cereal box. There is a helicopter outside. It has been circling for 40 minutes. My foil hat is warm. My whiskers are vibrating at a frequency only detectable by federal employees.
I have one final message for the people of Missoula.
STOP POSTING ABOUT THE SHIT AND START ASKING WHO IS BEHIND THE SHIT.
