Though the music is lush and upbeat, Ravi Shavi's newest album "Wild Rock Dove" doesn’t shy away from tough topics like xenophobia and sobriety. Learn the stories behind the songs: bit.ly/46Zc3Wt

I see that the Brown/Harvard game is at Centreville Bank Stadium and it's sold out. What if... Brown moved all of its games there, tore down their stadium, and we used the land to build a few dozen triple-deckers? It's in the middle of the east side!

This phenomenon deserves a shorthand name like "milkshake duck" or "pancake waffling" e.g. : "What's going on today?" "I have no idea. It's a real Count Chocula kills puppies situation." or (lower in @davidcooper.bsky.social 's thread) "It's a real 'I stand with Frankenberry' situation"

Was there a more progressive candidate for Governor this year who had a chance of winning? No. In 2022, the non-McKee vote was split and he won the primary with <33%. This isn’t hard to figure out

RI people, I need help finding something the Internet doesn't want to help me with. I have an event that according to multiple sources is at "Veterans Memorial Stadium," but no source I trust is telling me where that is (and there might be TWO of them? The schedule looks like slop.). Halp?

A forgotten point about Smiley and McKee losing: both of them won in 2022 because their primaries were 3-way (Smiley) or 5-way (McKee) races. Smiley won with ~41% and McKee didn't even get 1/3 of the primary votes. The PVD race was clearly a case of the progressive candidates splitting that vote.

At this sort of cost, wouldn't it be cheaper to build that many apartments in several building distributed around the city? Maybe this building is just not viable anymore?

Rhode Islanders considering voting for Gov. McKee: He "right-sized" RIPTA to save $4.4M, but it cost riders their hours, independence & jobs "I think what the people who have the power to make these decisions should really consider is what it's like for people who depend on this every single day."

So, the story of how Nina Totenberg decided to report that Alito was retiring is batshit bonkers and raises a million more questions than it answers. Via NPR's Public Editor: www.npr.org/sections/npr...

Totenberg was reporting on the final day of the Supreme Court session on Tuesday. As she was leaving the court, Chief Justice John Roberts was announcing upcoming retirements. Totenberg wondered why everyone else wasn't leaving and asked someone outside the court. According to her interview that same day on All Things Considered, Totenberg asked a bystander what was going on, and the person replied "retirement announcements." But Totenberg heard the reply in the singular, "announcement, " and assumed it was the notice that Alito was retiring.

NPR "published this story in error." It was clearly a pre-write. The hosts said it on the air near the end of their coverage as well. I wonder if somebody hit the publish button too early?

Something I haven't seen addressed that is a result of car-bloat: Now that almost all cars sold in the US are crossover SUVs or larger, the height of those vehicles blocks you from seeing pedestrians, sedans don't. Crossovers are about 5'5", taller than the average woman. Sedans are about 4'8"

I watched a guy pull his cybertruck into an alley in downtown PVD, open one of the Dumpsters and then empty the contents of the truck bed into the dumpster. Looked like he’d just moved out of a place. Felt like I was watching one dumpster being emptied into another
