For the cost of a few highway interchanges, Rhode Island could have this instead.

One of the primary reasons I hate driving so much is that I can feel myself becoming a worse person the longer I sit behind the wheel.

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

So kids are missing school and falling behind because @govdanmckee.bsky.social can’t be bothered to find 4 million more in the budget for RIPTA.

Newfoundland. My wife has family there and we visit every couple years. People have 1 of 2 reactions: either "Cool! What's it like?" or "Why the hell would you go there?"

It is possible that Salvador Dali saw the movie Twins
1968 photo of Dali wearing a red velvet sport coat with his signature upturned mustache Movie poster for the 1988 film "Twins" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito. Both are dressed in tan suits with patterned dark green & beige shirts, brown shoes, and sunglasses. Arnold is standing up straight and Danny is leaning onto his side. The top of Danny's head just about reaches Arnold's shoulder.

Such a lovely view from the outdoor seating area at my local cafe
A muffin and a large insulated coffee cup on a table. The cup has a big sticker that says "BAN CARS" and the view is of a parking lot

do you just book a ticket from Providence to Framingham or something and just not get on the train? I've wondered about this

It's a pipe dream, but it would be really swell if the SRTA's Fall River-New Bedford Intercity Express bus was combined with 24L to run hourly between all 3 cities..

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!
