7sleepersmusic'...many Bangladeshis in #Michigan speak #Sylheti, a dialect used by 11 million people in the world. However, interpreters often speak standardized formal #Bengali language. “We’ve seen so many people denied or deported because of the language barrier. They don’t understand these are Sylheti speakers.”' #Bangladesh #Immigration #Refugees #Language #Detroit #Hamtramck #NargisRahman #BridgeDetroit #WDET https://wdet.org/2025/03/19/shustho-how-language-access-affects-health-care-for-bangladeshi-women-in-michigan/
randomjunqueDecided to become a monthly contributor to NPR because I believe they are a valuable contribution to our American republic. I will not entertain any differences of opinion on my decision; they will be summarily blocked. #npr #wdet https://bsky.app/profile/npr.org
#TBT #Playlist from #RadiosInMotion, very cool early-80s #PostPunk / #NewWave show on #Detroit's #WDET. Named after the #XTC classic. Very Anglocentric, but so am I so s'all good. A couple of local acts, #Cinecyde and #MarkJNorton, made the cut. Initially hosted by #MikeHalloran (maybe his handwriting?), later of #SanDiego's #91X and a few other stations. IIRC He got fired from one of 'em 'cuz he burned the studio down or something like that! 🎵 🎶 📻 👍 😁 #Music #ClassicRock #Radio #Broadcasting

sofritoguyLoved this show. It connected me to a musical culture that almost seemed exotic to white suburban adolescent me. And yeah, this is where #DetroitTechno got some of it's first exposure. Thanks to @civicDetroitDan for passing this along! 🎶👍 😁 #TheScene #WDET #WGPR https://wdet.org/2023/06/06/reflecting-on-the-cultural-legacy-of-the-scene/

#DTE is taking heat for its outrage map, which returns two different sets of numbers.
#WDET story has an interview https://wdet.org/2023/03/03/dte-energy-outage-website/
"The utility giant used two datasets to report outages, with a lower estimate prominently featured on its dashboard."
Part of this is the problem with smart meters - your power may be up, but the utility connection with your smart meter is offline. It's not possible to read all meters in the system at once.
Not any news to @nuxi @PowerOutageUS
