For @wamcradio.bsky.social: After coming close to unseating Springfield State Rep. Bud Williams last year, Johnnie Ray McKnight says he's running again. Last November, he came about 250 votes short of an upset in the state's 11th Hampden district. #mapoli #spfldpoli

For @wamcradio.bsky.social : In Easthampton, it looks like Salem Derby's been elected the city's 4th mayor in its history since its charter change in 96. He collected at least 40% in the 1st round of the rank choice vote. Lindsi Sekula was 2nd, and says she was 600 votes short in the 2nd round

For @wamcradio.bsky.social: In Chicopee, several college presidents have gathered at the College of Our Lady of the Elms. The reason: to sign an MoU allowing @stccspringfield.bsky.social and HCC students to make use of the @elmscollege.bsky.social campus via room and board

Love logging into LinkedIn and getting feed content from people I don't follow, talking about their grindset, hustling, breaking down walls and opening new lines of communication - talking in code about cold emailing and sending bullshit like this

An update: the state's AG has acknowledged the claim re: what the gunman shouted. InDepthNH has a good write-up of what transpired: indepthnh.org/2025/09/21/a.... I still believe the Patch reporter wrote assumptively and further fueled confusion over how many gunmen there were

I have serious questions about this Nashua Patch reporter if he's quoting a witness who reported "one of the gunmen" said something, when police confirmed (at 9:21pm) there was only one. Also, he updated the lede to reflect its one (10pm), but left the copy implying two

Taking off my reporter hat for a moment to say: Northampton, Mass. is home to an oddly venomous anti-Abundance crowd. Which is very funny, because this plays directly into the hands of the city's (and county's) most infamous, intensely expensive rental companies.

Trevor Moore nailed this, because nothing is as damning as a 63-year-old primary care physician looking at you like this.

It's Utica. "University in Northeast" probably comes from a regional dialect, somewhere in upstate New York, maybe? I think it's an Albany expression.
