Last update: an hour ago

Labor & Media: Ocean State Media, Rhode Island’s NPR/PBS organization, has voted to unionize with SAG-AFTRA, winning a 70%+ yes vote and setting up bargaining over pay, role expectations, and benefits. Arts & Culture: URI’s rare corpse flower (Titan Arum) has started blooming at Horridge Conservatory, with the greenhouse open for visitors June 17 and a livestream for those who can’t make it. Community & Food: AHEPA Sophocles Chapter 106 marked its 100th anniversary with a sold-out Centennial Gala in Cranston, honoring leaders and scholarship recipients. Local Arts: NewportFILM announced its 2026 outdoor documentary series—free Thursday-night screenings across Newport paired with live music and filmmaker conversations. Sports & Entertainment: The World Cup heads into more visa drama and match-day coverage, including Ghana’s Thomas Partey situation and the Ghana vs. Panama matchup details. Business & Entertainment: Ocean State Job Lot is hosting hiring events in Vermont (including part-time seasonal roles), while Rhode Island’s welcome-bonus casino rules keep tightening fast.
