.@DanielCoyle that Mr. Rogers exercise with @_StephanieHaney on today's @soundofideas! I'll remember that when the going gets rough!

Anyone else find themselves diving for the dictionary when you heard this word being, ummmm, brandished by authorities?

A cat's killing by a Waymo robotaxi sparked outrage in San Francisco, as some questioned why deaths caused by human drivers don't get the same level of concern (@hknightsf / New York Times)

Earlier this month, Cleveland State University transferred operations of WCSB FM 89.3 to Ideastream Public Media. The longtime college radio station went off the air, replaced by a 24/7 jazz program.

Today's @soundofideas
convo on the obliteration of WCSB/@wcsbcleveland by @CLE_State and @Ideastream is now on-air. Listen and make your voice heard!

RE: @Ideastream's takeover of community asset #WCSB/@wcsbcleveland: "Bloomberg said the partnership offers a chance to expand students’ access to “true professional growth opportunities.”"

,@MichaelMcIntyre @soundofideas
this sums up the "work-based learning" spin on the WCSB assimilation.

[Jim Ridge @ridgej]

.@MichaelMcIntyre is talking about the takeover of WCSB now on @WKSU - @Ideastream!

This college radio alum hates what happened to a community institution in Cleveland.

[Kris Harsh @KrisHarsh]

I can not believe that @CLE_State would take down @wcsbcleveland ! This radio station has been one of the most vital sources of creativity and self-expression in the area for 50 years! This is entirely unacceptable and I'm ready to do whatever I can.

[Jim Ridge @ridgej]

@KrisHarsh @CLE_State @wcsbcleveland Thanks for your statement to @CleCityCouncil on the assimilation of @wcsbcleveland. College radio matters! @CLE_State's decision is a mystifying move against Greater Cleveland's culture.

[Jim Ridge @ridgej]

.@wcsbcleveland silent protest going on now at @CLE_State Wraps around 12:30 so you've still got time to show-up!

@Ideastream your involvement in this assimilation play is disappointing as hell.

[Jim Ridge @ridgej]

The party that loves calling people snowflakes seems unwilling to undergo public scrutiny. Yeesh folks, this is what happens when you don't hold any public forums. Moreno performed better than I had expected. @TheCityClub forum allowed me to learn that!

[Alex Triantafilou 🇺🇸🐘🇺🇸 @ChairmanAlex]

The @ohiogop will urge candidates to avoid future events at the City Club of Cleveland. It is not what it purports to be and until they foster civil, adult conversation, Republicans should decline participation to avoid this spectacle. https://t.co/qFEUy1wyOQ

This reminds me of "The Founder" movie where Ray Kroc is told "You don't seem to realize what business you're in. You're not in the burger business. You're in the real estate business."
Is HSG's Brook Park Barn about enhancing the #Browns fan experience or about parking revenue?

[Kris Harsh @KrisHarsh]

This means parking could cost north of $200.

A legend has left Cleveland in better shape than he found it. Our founder Jim benefitted greatly from Tim's wise counsel, collegial tutoring, and friendship over the years. Tim was a great coach and enjoyed helping our rise as a #CuyahogaRiver stakeholder. Peace to Tim & friends
