Dear Oracle, will I regret bailing on you to go to NIN?

Other NIN fans asked if they'll see me tonight, in that intimate venue... of TD Garden.
But not a peep from Trent.

Jim guestlisted me, not a peep from other fans, in that stadium known as... the back room of the Burren.

Who is where?

Just spent an hour trying to get through the phone lines to WGBH Culture Show episode about Groundhog Day and was roundly ignored.

Forward it to me at your peril.

There's an urban fantasy to be written about why Mamdani had a separate smaller ceremony in a decommissioned station.
(By someone like Ben Aaronovitch or Kate Griffin, or even Sarah Monette).

The history behind the NYC subway station chosen for Mamdani's swearing-in
The city shut down the station in 1945 on New Year's Eve. Eighty years later, it's a symbolic venue choice for the incoming mayor's private swearing-in ceremony.

On the commuter rail back from Ipswich Illuminations.
After Salem, the train ”inexplicably“ smells like beer farts.

Shocking, right?

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

There are people who should be making atonement and asking for forgiveness today who absolutely will not and never will and who think that this deficit in their humanity is somehow a virtue.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement
