I'm a Celtics fan, and I hate tonight's game 1 outcome, but this is a 5-star skeet. I lift a glass to your NBA/Congestion Pricing crossover, @kleinman.bsky.social.

Fun to visit with the real 1 percenters who got a special tour of the @wmata.com control center & some fun Metro merch. These customers had the most rides in the Metro Rewind year in review. #yourmetro is the community’s system and we love seeing people who care and value it so much.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example
