RIP to a real one
Tragic news today: the eminent historian Gordon S. Wood was struck and killed while walking in the Shaw's plaza in East Providence, his family confirms to me. No comment from Brown yet
Wood was just featured in Ken Burns' American Revolution documentary wpri.com/news/local-news/pro…

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Everyone deserves to feel safe—but CORCA is not a safety bill, it’s a surveillance bill that would dramatically expand DHS power by providing them with sweeping access to personal data and entangling them in local law enforcement. veraaction.org/vera-action-r…

Might be the funniest thing I’ve read all day 😂
Community note
This appears to be a story regularly reposted by a Facebook humor page with different cities listed. It is likely untrue.

Please don't forget that the only difference between you and a disabled person is time. Even if the disability is temporary, it will happen in your lifetime. Disability is part of the human condition. Advocating for disability rights is advocating for your inevitable future.
