It’s been nearly 24 hours since the last of the snow from Winter #storm #fern left #providence, and this is the current situation at Kennedy Plaza, the main #transit hub of #ri.

Why does nobody take the #bus? Maybe because they fucking can’t get there to begin with.
The RIPTA express bus terminal at Kennedy Plaza, with snow 8 foot wide to the street. A snowy urban scene at dusk, featuring a snow-covered sidewalk and road. A couple of vehicles, including a bus and a car, are visible near buildings. Streetlights illuminate the area, and several trees are bare of leaves. A snowy sidewalk with a foot-tamped path leads past an informational sign and a brick building. In the background, a tree and a city skyline are partially visible, illuminated by streetlights. Snow covers the ground. A snow-covered bus stop, both inside and out, is illuminated at dusk, with a person walking in front. Snowbanks, bare trees and city buildings are visible in the background.

Anime girl crying with an "ICE IMMIGRATION" hat on with a caption that reds "Yeah I may be" with a line obviously written over reading: "The gestapo", then "but you were", and another written-over line: "Filming me", then "and that's worse."

Bunch of people freaking out about the "new" #twitter ToS that steals your posts & contents within (images, video) & feeds it to Grok, allegedly coming Jan 15th.

A cowboy-shot digital illustration of a young woman styled in an anime aesthetic. She has long, dark black hair with streaks of vibrant red-orange towards the ends, framing a face with large, expressive pink eyes and lightly freckled skin. Her mouse ears match her hair color, positioned atop her head. Her outfit is a dark purple, low-cut corset top with delicate lace detailing along the edges. It's paired with black high-waisted pants and a thick, red-white belt cinched at her waist. A silver/bronze necklace with a heart-shaped pendant hangs around her neck. She's posed with one hand raised, lightly touching the top of her head as if pulling back her hair. Her expression is somewhat coy and inviting with a light smile and partially closed eyes ("jitome" in Japanese). The background is blurred, suggesting a crowded indoor space with indistinct figures and a spotlight illuminating the floor. A cowboy shot anime-aesthetic of a young woman with prominent mouse features. She has pale skin, large pink-violet eyes and dark hair streaked with red down to her neckline. She's wearing a revealing outfit: a dark purple leather-looking short corset with metal detailing, low-rise black-purple pants with gold wallet chain, and red-white belt. Notably, she has large, down animal ears – specifically mouse ears – and a thick, red tail curled on the floor behind her. Her arms are raised above her head in a pose that emphasizes her exposed stomach, arms, and underarms. The background is blurred; she's in a dimly lit indoor space with other people present. The floor is a polished and reflective aqua tile, creating some light flares.

So to stop a potential fleeing suspect while it's getting dark, you better have a perimeter.

Was there a perimeter? Absolutely. A wide perimeter, the whole East Side, to stop escape? No. Not for hours.

#usda is showing their partisanship on their website in the biggest letters possible. And the statement is absolutely unhinged. It gets more unhinged as you read it, which is impressive. Equally mentionable but not shocking: it's full of bald-faced lies […]

USDA website, with USDA banner, main links on the top page, and the following statement in large, orange background, and white text which encompasses the whole page: "Senate Democrats have now voted 13 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance."

The trees of downtown #providence are alight with lanterns — lantern flies that is. They’re everywhere.

Bored? Go outside, find a tree, then flick ‘em and squish ‘em. There’s more than enough for everyone! Stop the bug! #lanternfly #bugs
A colorful poster urging the public to look for spotted lanternflies. It features the text "Stop. Scrape. Squash." and images of various life stages of the insect, including eggs, nymphs, and adults atop a green background. A close-up view of a tree trunk with lush green leaves, set against a city backdrop featuring buildings and parked cars. If you can look closely, an infestation of lanternflies up the trunk and branches.

The driveway is a sea of nuts 🌰 and leaves from the trees. They crunch and crack under car tires like a coarse symphony. I blow them away, but they return through renewed falling.

And the chipmunks can’t get enough.
A smooth, asphalt driveway lined with trees, featuring fallen leaves scattered across the surface. The scene is set in a wooded area under a partly cloudy sky.

Our legislators could do really easy things, like add signal priority (see: green lights) so busses are faster than your car.

Apparently a whole PENNY to the gas tax would fix this issue […]

I forgot my long USB-C cable today - now I'm daisy chaining off another computer's USB-C with a dainty 1m long cable at 13-15 watts.

Two characters facing away from the camera, taken from hip level, looking towards another character, in the distant center, walking up to them in greeting. center. IN the background, a festival of sorts it happening, confetti and balloons in the air. One character, holding popcorn and looking at the other two characters, who are looking back at them. They're in an arcade.

An anime-style character with mouse features. A young woman, standing in a gritty urban alleyway. She has large, rounded ears resembling those of a mouse, positioned on top of her head. Her hair is short, choppy and black with some glistening streaks from dampness framing her face. Her eyes are bright yellow-green and have a mischievous glint. She's smiling, showing teeth, smirking, smug. She’s wearing a purple hooded sweatshirt under a shiny black leather jacket that is open in the front. She has dark ripped jeans held up by a wide orange belt. A long, thin tail extends from the back of her waist. She's holding some form of future looking axe in one hand.
