station upgrades are great and all but it would be even better if they could fix the tracks between Walpole and Mansfield. Every time I ride to Foxboro I worry about getting seasick

For the love of all that is holy, please please please do not plant burning bush (Euonymus alatus).. This is the current state of the understory of my local oak-hickory forest. There is virtually nothing at the shrub level but this invasive bully. All of this pinkish/whitish foliage is burning bush.

Another reason to hate @ticketmaster.com- just bought tickets for a show to give to someone as a Christmas present, but of course it's mobile-only and ticket transfer is not available for this event, so now the only way to gift these tickets is to sign into my TM account on the recipient's phone..

Every time I see a screenshot of someone arguing with Grok, I immediately think of this:

I really hope Bill Ackman et al. start packing their bags soon.

"I'm voting for the sex pest who killed the elderly because my friends shared some made up bullshit about the other guy"

When I was a kid, the Providence Journal published a morning paper and an evening paper. There was also the Pawtucket Times & Woonsocket Call which are now merged into a shadow of their former selves. The remaining "survivors" in the area are owned by GateHouse. It's pretty bleak.

Thematically appropriate and a great version. Everybody continues to dig Bill Evans

trunk or treat is important because it prepares our young children for the rich fulfilling teenage experience of hanging out in parking lots

Long shot but if anyone sees this bike bag in the vicinity of the playground at Dexter Park in Providence near Parade Street, I'm pretty sure I left it there after Fam Jam on Saturday like a dope.. The helmet won't be with it, but the water bottle would be. Also one of panniers is folded out..

When I say I'm nostalgic for the past, this is specifically what I mean

I find that someone's reaction to cow tools is a good indicator for whether or not we can be friends

Chat is it good that quality local journalism no longer exists except in a handful of large cities?

ICYMI: The @ripta.com Metro Connector study is progressing, even while @govdanmckee.bsky.social sits on his thumbs and lets the existing system waste away.. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/1381...

Listen to this, it'll make you feel better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAen...

ACAB includes the sad one who had to pay for his lunch at the racist homophobic chicken shack

My day on RIPTA thanks to @govdanmckee.bsky.social -finding the 71's frequency has been cut almost in half -waiting 19 min for the R-line at 9:30am -packing onto an extremely overcrowded 22 because its frequency is slashed -barely missing the 75, so I took the 72 which is 3x farther from home.

It looks like @ripta.com has cut service to more routes than previously announced. The 71 isn't listed on the service change page but its weekday frequency has been cut from every 40 minutes to every 70 minutes.. How many other "unaffected" routes have had unannounced changes?

The feckless, incompetent stooge can't be gone soon enough.

ATTN: every last goddamn elected state office holder on Smith Hill

The owners of this place are amazing, and this event will be too!

I don't want to get my hopes up, but it's at least encouraging that RIDOT is actively thinking about things other than cars. Tell them how you feel about trains!

Your dog is not special. Use a leash on public trails.

EVs and hybrids are meant to save the auto industry, not the planet.

I get asked at least twice a month why I don't have a Ring doorbell and/or any sort of "smart home" automation

It's the most wonderful time of the year! 🎃🚲👻

Worst governor since DiPrete. At least that guy had the excuse of being a criminal. @govdanmckee.bsky.social simply does not care.

Are you going out less? Driving more? Unable to get to places you could before? Staying home on the weekend? Tell Save RIPTA how #mckeestrandedme

She really is a national treasure

If you like city builders and low-pressure games, this one's checking all the boxes for me. Still early access, but already very fun

Such a lovely view from the outdoor seating area at my local cafe

What sort of overhead could possibly result in a 38% fee per ticket? I'm just trying to take my kid and his friend to a damn soccer game. "Amazing Deal" my ass

Best birthday present: my kid drew a Shinkansen for me 🚄

Bike racks and shelters at Exchange and Roosevelt? Be still my heart! This is where I catch the R-Line and I usually just take my bike with me because i don't have any better option. Soon I'll be able to lock it up!

Photo app showed me this memory from 10 years ago of my son's first hike. Lazy jerk made us carry him the whole way

Tons of things are shit right now but my tulip tree is doing great so I got that going for me which is nice (1st pic 2023, 2nd pic 2025)

Trying to come up with a list of @govdanmckee.bsky.social's accomplishments as governor so far and this is what I've got: 1. Fumbled the bag badly with the Washington Bridge 2. Kneecapped RIPTA and laid waste to weekend service 3. Looked like a doofus cutting ribbons and repeating talking points

Before & After for my bus, @ripta.com 75. The extra hard kick in the ass is that the Saturday schedule was actually better than the weekday schedule, and now it's just gone. Thanks for everything @govdanmckee.bsky.social

C'mon Providence.. let's add @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social to this list

I have a question, but it's for @govdanmckee.bsky.social and the standards of decorum prevent me from asking it here

🚨RIPTA’s sweeping service cuts go into effect Sat. Sept. 27. Late for work? Bus going away on weekends? Can’t get to class? Fill out our survey to tell your story, and document your experiences in real time using the hashtag #McKeeStrandedMe on Bluesky, IG, and X! forms.gle/MRhs2k4GYFkU...

Perfect timing to promote a week without driving during the first full week of the enormous service cuts that are about to go into effect.

If you see this, post a concert picture you took

goddamn that was fun
