Swift’s ‘Life of a Showgirl’ illustrates her fall from songwriter to cash grab.

From coming after infinitely cooler Charli XCX to littering songs with slang that has already aged.

When it’s never been more important to use her voice, Taylor’s silenced herself with insipidity.

Last night was a hoot with @ridemparty.bsky.social well represented at Providence Foundation’s Legacy in Motion at the ethereal Reserve on Dorrance.

Caught @amo.house.gov for a pic, @sabinamatos.bsky.social smiling, and @tednesi.bsky.social giving (and taking) it!

Also, thanks for having music!

Bob Craven is a wonderful man and an excellent Rhode Island legislator.

His son is exceedingly cool and talented, too.

That’s all; carry on.

Task review – Mark Ruffalo’s druggy kidnap drama is so bleak it’s downright manipulative This box-ticking exercise from the maker of the exceptional Mare of Easttown has bloody shootouts, bags of fentanyl and bodies – but very soon it becomes inescapably boring

Anyone digging “Task” on HBO?

I am not.

Excellent cast but the plot is going nowhere, the criminals are bad at their jobs, and the Martha Plimpton storyline is too much.

But give Lizzie, FBI gal, a spinoff.

While America fat shames its military, I would like a president who is not obese.

Analysis: Trump’s ‘your countries are going to hell’ speech, annotated | CNN Politics In a just-about hourlong address to the UN General Assembly, US President Donald Trump insulted the organization repeatedly.

I do not celebrate anyone dying AND I don’t memorialize Christian performers with penchants for chauvinism and racism, and who were against safe gun laws.

Now fire me. Again. Already happened once and wasn’t that bad.

Tyler Robinson: what we know about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer The 22-year-old university drop-out was turned in by his father. Bullet casings inscribed with anti-fascist messages point to his involvement in leftist politics

Guys, what radicalized Tyler?

✅ Mormonism
✅ Comfy Middle Class
✅ Republican parents
✅ Police father
✅ Social Worker mom
✅ Utah college for 1 semester

So weird, right?

Tyler’s caring dad was with the sheriff’s office and wore Blue Lives Matter shirts to Japanese steak houses.

Mom worked in the disability community and gifted kids guns for Xmas.

Mormons.

Tyler received straight As and is always smiling with fam.

This is America.

Tyler and his family look a lot like all of us, don't they?

The next time we have a live and televised traumatizing murder, perhaps the piranhas can hold off on misidentifying the murderer's intentions or background.

Sadly, we all know there WILL be a next time.

How do you like them apples?

Last night, while mourning another school shooting and the horrific political assassination of Charlie Kirk, I went to a @momsdemand.bsky.social meeting.
We were stoic and somber.
It’s the guns.

My son left for college, a rite of passage for which I’ve saved and hoped.

And all I want to do is cry.

On the heels of my aunt’s death, family’s dysfunction, and America’s Trump, everything feels tainted.

Must be back-to-school time in America. Gunfire, children dead, anxiety, polished floors, fresh pencils, and fear.

Rhode Island’s own version of “eff around and find out” someday maybe.

The audacity of building this wall confuses me. I’m not part of a country club so help me: did the QCC folks think nobody would see a WALL? Did members wonder?

Help me.

This is bullshit, Mr. Sabitoni.

While we are at it, almost all I see are men here and that bothers me.

Rhode Island leaders and union leaders, admitting the lack of women is the first step.

It hurts. Can’t we do better?

My son Holden turns 16 today!

A Scout, wrestler, animal lover, and caring brother, Holden enjoyed being 15 and can’t wait to drive.

He and I love talking politics, pop culture, and family lore.
