Any RI journalist want to write a shame spotlight on a large, Warwick based property manager for absolutely greedy rent increases, let me know. Obscene greed. I don't think I have any recourse, I just want to tell the world how horrible these humans are.

Everyone is excited to dunk on Sen. Schmidt but....maga media is just trucking along ignoring the facts and pretending that Schmidt caught Jack Smith in a lie. Yet again, MAGA ignores reality, pushes their messages anyway and their narrative wins the day.

Hey UK media, do you think you can seek out the 35 Orange Order gents and ask them what they're hoping to accomplish? What message they're sending? Why in God's name are they doing this? Hound them, doxx them. Make them answer for their actions.

US government paid federal employees $9.5bn not to work amid Doge cuts – report
GAO report shows how use paid administrative leave rose by 435% from 2023 to 2025 and incurred a sixfold cost The US government paid federal workers $9.5bn not to work in 2025 as part of the Trump administration’s attempts to shrink the federal workforce. As part of efforts by the “department of government efficiency” (Doge), spearheaded by Elon Musk, federal agencies’ use of paid administrative leave rose 435% from 2023 to 2025 – costing six times what the government spent in 2023 – according to a new report released on Tuesday by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an independent watchdog.

MIT report on AI’s impact on education – and what to do about it.
A study at MIT has found that Generative AI tools are having a significant impact on the way students are learning. That's not terribly surprising in of itself, but the report presents data and results that support the assertion and makes suggestions about what to do about it. Skipping to the end of the report, in summary: Adapt educational processes for an AI-aware world (Section 3.1)
