Another reason to not vote for Dan.

Rhode Island keeps talking about its low unemployment rate. Maybe this is why.

Big thanks to @jdinri.bsky.social for inspiring me to update my Bsky bio.

Proof I’m getting old: I hopped on the buss downtown and went to the Providence Public Library without checking their hours. Oops.

People of Providence! Council President Rachel Miller, representing Ward 13, has secured funding that must be used by July 1 for pedestrian safety improvements along Westminster Street, and WBNA is asking for our input to help steer Rachel to the right solutions. us5.list-manage.com/survey?u=130...

Went to Teatro ECAS this evening for @localreturn.bsky.social’s Wealth in Rhode Island: Who, How, What, and So What? discussion. A very thought-provoking look at what wealth is and who is — and who isn’t — able to achieve it.

GRAPHIC DESIGN IS MY WEATHER BEING’S PASSION

It boggles my mind that RIPTA needs to get NEPA approval to install bus shelters.

I’m not so worried about the price of an ALSO bike — $4,500 is about what a Specialized e-bike goes for. The difference is that I can buy the Specialized at Dash Bikes down the street, and they’ll service it. And there’s no monthly subscription involved, either.

Not to sound rude, but… who?

Sometimes I forget how small Providence is. Last night, I walked from Federal Hil, across the pedestrian bridge, then down to Point St and back.

I like my neighborhood. @localreturn.bsky.social

Luongo Square today, a nearly perfect place on a pretty much perfect day. It’s one of a handful of places in PVD that I could see benefitting by going fully pedestrianized.

Hyundai Ioniq 3 looks pretty sharp!

Feels like summer today, but spring is just starting to show in downtown Providence.

Can’t say @nerd4cities.bsky.social isn’t having an effect on me.

It’s almost like there’s a solution to this that could be the main headline. 🔌⚡️🚙

I was trying to take an epic photo of the moon rising over the Armory, but this Kia EV6 had other plans.

The federal government has yet to learn about tilt-turn windows.

Hung a new mirror in the living room. I love it when different objects have similar lines and play off each other.

Love to see a new building going up in what used to be the single family house’s back yard.

I love my neighborhood. Out for a walk on this beautiful evening, I bump into James from Irregardless Biscuits and chat him up for 10 minutes. I also love biscuits.

Right place: Huddled up next to Smiley and Brown U. Side note: Ewww Facebook. 🤢

Walked a bit of the East Bay Bike Path this afternoon, and saw one of the five trolls that have appeared in Rhode Island over the past year or so.

Show someone who absolutely rocks a hat (not Indiana Jones)

When I got home last night, my Volvo XC40 Recharge notified me than a software update was available. About 90 minutes later, it had a whole new UI, and a pesky recall issue was resolved. Volvo isn’t the first or only car to get OTA updates, but man is it cool that EVs get improvements over time.

I’m certain I agree that data centers are bad full stop, but I’m not a fan of my state senator pulling a Susan Collins.

@pvdstreets.bsky.social has receipts.

Wondering if all the Gen Zers who grew up on Tame Impala (like my lovely soon-to-be daughter in law) will be inspired by his last album to explore 90s techno and acid house? music.apple.com/us/album/eth...

How much did Subaru PR pay for this review? The host seemed like he was forced to give it faint praise. “If you want a *sporty EV*? The Uncharted is your car!”… then he tries to go around a fast corner and obviously goes into the opposite lane. “0-80% in 28 minutes — that’s *pretty fast*!”

Feeling… apprehensive about these “building design standards” amendments passed by the @pvdcitycouncil.bsky.social last night. Particularly the rules around primary entrances and blank building facades.

Written by an actual fossil.

It’s good to see Speaker @joeshekarchi.bsky.social leading from the front on Rhodie’s biggest issue.

Now would be a great time for American Idiot.

MY MAN

Lady Gaga looks like my character in Ghost of Yotei. #grammys

Question for @d2lo.bsky.social & @zamafir.bsky.social and anyone else in the know: Anytime anything Hyundai is brought up in the electric vehicles subreddit, the comments are filled with people saying to avoid their ICCU issue. Is this a real issue, or is a case of the internet being the internet?

Big fan of some of y’all’s state senator.

Wishing @weatherishappening.com still lived in PVD this week.

Apple Music teed this up for me twice today, and I’m not mad about it one bit.

As a formerly broken adolescent, I couldn’t get through the first episode of “Adolescence”. It’s now won three Golden Globe awards.

You’ve never heard such a glorious collection of buttrock.

We were just in British Columbia over the holidays, and EVs were everywhere. Not just in Vancouver, but in the out-out-outer suburbs and farm towns to the east, too.

Took our annual drive out to Hope, BC to photograph Kawkawa Lake. 🇨🇦

Mount Cheam is an average mountain in lower British Columbia. It's about 200 meters taller than Mount Washington in New Hampshire.

On The Media has a handbook for just this situation. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Hopes to be invited to the kids table.

I like to party.

Happy Declining All Meetings for the Last Two Weeks of December-mas to you all!
