Turned out I learned last year one of my local (Providence) friends, who like me grew up Pittsburgh-proximate, was an intern at WWKS before the format change and knew all the DJs there from his time leading up to that day.
(In particular, the connection with Rumours is that they used to play whole albums at 11pm nightly, “complete and suitable for taping”)
Somehow “stunt” radio format changes have come up twice in the last 24 hours. The last one was someone’s question about a format change in Providence but at the moment we’re talking about “Rumours” and I am remembering this one, in Beaver Falls PA in 1993.
70th Anniversary Moments - Rock, Rock 'Till You Drop. Bill Cameron. - Beaver County Radio
This year commemorates the 70th anniversary of when Beaver County’s first radio station, WBVP, was heard over the airwaves for the the first time on May 25, 1948. To mark the historical event, each w...
beavercountyradio.comWhat gift can you leave a murder waiting on its convalescing fledgling that will help them (and will you then have a murder of corvid friends afterward)?
A not-exactly-musical based on the story of a band whose members were basically all dating each other, like Buckingham/Nicks era Fleetwood Mac but with the serial numbers filed off? Yeah, I’m here for it.
The invitation to get the pass is in my email, just need to confirm the travel can work and then I’ll be doing the same 😅
I routinely bike by Garden City. The trick is “don’t use Sockanosset”. (Reader, she biked on Sockanosset)
They are not especially more risk-taking than me (I have biked Bald Hill Road multiple times) but I’m not sure I have a 100+ mile day in me at the moment 😅
Found the routing on Strava and I disagree with at least one routing choice but I appreciate how hardcore this was. (Could have made it easier on themselves by using a longer segment of one of the bike trails!)
Wow. These folks biked (with the exception of using a car to cross the vehicle-only bridges over Narragansett Bay) to all 15 Taco Bells in Rhode Island! www.instagram.com/reel/C7ionnW...
These people? www.washingtonpost.com/archive/busi...
Wild that they think this guy invented it. The basic traffic pattern of wrong side traffic to improve flow exists (albeit as 3/4 of a diverging diamond) at the Thurbers Avenue interchange on 95 in RI and has since it was built in the 60s
Got to cohost this month’s edition of Providence Pecha Kucha tonight, themed “Let’s Talk!”
Went in a local coffee shop, person beside me turned, reintroduced themselves… they’re trans and out since I last saw them a couple years ago, and now live in NYC.
Can’t blame them for leaving town but ugh, bummer when you run into someone cool who’s just back visiting.
Ok this is a good look but missed opportunity for it to be a vest with an image of blue marble earth on it to have been made a vest of
You are far more likely to get a 2:08am email from me than a 6:08 email
The winning hand thing is stuff I got from randoms several times after I transitioned, and the answer was always “because I can’t cheat and pretend to be someone else in order to win”
Bike to work day. They’ll be gone before I can get there
Will it be to stay at 1111 followers so you can make another wish
this is a great look, especially with that wide belt matching the flowers!
I had people who were confused they didn't know me when they clearly knew all my friends...
I still need to visit the aquarium. Every time I visit it seems fine but I can’t imagine it would be enough city for me.
Mayor of Providence stopping barely short of doing that, but any time multiple homeless folks end up congregating he has them chased off.
Worst part is he admits there’s nowhere to go, but says that’s not his problem.
Criminalizing people living in the street doesn’t work

Criminalizing people living in the street doesn’t work
The Supreme Court can authorize governments to default to unlimited criminalization, an ineffective, expensive and cruel response. Or it can maintain restrictions on criminalization that encourage …

I went to see Furiosa and I got what I wanted: strong woman protagonist pushing beyond mere survival in the wastelands.
That said, it’s possible they should have pushed the idea that that was the narrative better.
Wait I’m older than Miss Piggy?

She looks great. it’s hard to believe she’s over 50

I mean, it was a bounded experience for me, and I knew what I was in for, but I feel for the folks who suddenly find themselves there and especially folks where the world is lousy to them about it.
I know a couple part-time AAC users and … yeah, world’s harsh about it
The local art house had a discussion after it and I went to that 😅
It does! We passed one at the festival concert we were at yesterday and they were letting people pet it and Marie said something and I replied “but ACAB includes police dogs”
Not quite what you mean but when I hear Kitty Hawk I think of an animal with a cute kitten body but feathered wings that flies around looking for stuff to eat
When I had a surgery which left me unable to speak for a month, I knew it was coming, prepared, had an AAC app set up already and had learned how to use it… and still it was very challenging. I might have gotten quicker with time but there’s no guarantee the world would have dealt with it better.
If you are peeing or sweating coffee you should probably see an exocrine specialist.
It may be something you can monetize
They’re literally permitting an enlarged gas pipeline elsewhere in the state now, despite evidence suggesting it is not needed 😬
It’s already running backwards and may never go positive again. But we have 3 meters.
I witnessed horrors in my own home. I don’t talk about specifics exactly because no value comes from spreading the trauma.
But it means that anyone who demands I witness something gets told they are too late, and to F off… or just gets blocked.

@psingletary.me this is your fault :p
(if you get 0 labels even when there should be some, try force-reloading somehow to clear the cache on that domain, it uses a script from Skythread)
