I noticed how often Gilmore Girls came up in my social media feed. It's comfort TV, which makes it a good show for the moment we're in. I also discovered a great podcast – Generation Gilmore Girls by @ctpublic.bsky.social. We talk about it on CBC Radio's Day 6 this week.. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
I went into this interview with Hasta Luego Friend owner Evy Ruiz thinking that business (and its addictive coquito lattes) would be the focus for @ctpublic.bsky.social’s Poderosas series on Latina leaders. Instead, I heard just as much about Tia’s Roommate, by and for queer women of color.
The calendar has turned to March, and that means tournament basketball across the country. Connecticut teams may be poised for one of their strongest postseason representations in years.

A CT doctor is claiming he’s the victim of repeated under-reimbursements by insurance companies, a practice called “downcoding” that he said cost him close to $100,000.
Downcoding occurs when an insurer reduces a billing code submitted by a provider. That results in a lower payment to the doctor.
Noem’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee — where she faced scrutiny from Democrats and a few Republicans — was her first appearance before Congress since the deaths of two Americans by federal agents in Minneapolis.
In a high-profile hearing on Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal pressed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers about federal agents’ practice of arresting, detaining and injuring U.S. citizens.
The Connecticut Inspector General has released body camera footage from the police shooting on Blue Hills Avenue last week. The officer who opened fire is identified as Joseph Magnano of the Hartford Police Department.

Then imagine that the person paying decides to pay you 25% less (or even less).

Connecticut's median family income is $124,600 — so high that "affordable" housing often isn't.
A developer says that's why 44 of its 52 income-restricted units near UConn sit empty. Now it wants to convert most of them to market rate @ctpublic.bsky.social www.ctpublic.org/news/investi...

One firefighter was injured in a fall on ice and snow, but otherwise there were no other reported injuries.
The lack of housing affordability in Connecticut is increasingly difficult for many residents. State lawmakers are looking for new laws that would make it easier to live in Connecticut.
A new bill that would relax hunting regulations for farmers facing damage by black bears would allow farmers to receive a permit based on verified crop damage from the previous growing season and exempt farmers with large cornfields from trying non-lethal methods first. bit.ly/4rxEi73
Movimiento Cultural Afro-Continental is a nonprofit community organization based in Connecticut dedicated to preserving, teaching, and spreading Puerto Rican bomba and plena.
Through local collaborations, the organization has brought the culture to spaces that previously had no presence.
