I think the proper opening of the Central Subway should be counted as what's expected to happen in January, not what's happening this weekend.

Trying to assess who got this question right while Twitter is still up. Daxing & Brandenburg airports are clearly operating. Does Crossrail count as open on 6 November 2022? It's not clear to me what isn't operating that is expected to happen next May.
Which one of these rail or airport projects will open *last*?

That blue line looks like the net change, but not cumulative (despite saying it's cumulative).

It's OPEN! #SilverLine
First train leaving @Dulles_Airport with event attendees toward Loudon Gateway. Look 👀 at that great @Dulles_Airport architecture. #wmata #ridesilver #yourmetro

Mix of rain and sleet just west of Rockville, MD.

It's all measured relative to the explosive yield of that weight of TNT; see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_eq…

in this case that would be to permanently remove the debt limit, and authorize issuance of debt to pay for budgeted government spending

Yeah, marital status is related to age, so would definitely want to see breakdown by both age and marital status before drawing any conclusions from this.

It's not clear to me that she'd actually switch parties, or that the party would see a threat to do so as a credible one. I can't see the Republican party protecting Sinema the way the Democratic party tried to (and almost did) protect Specter in 2010.

Also, if @RubenGallego declares his candidacy for the Senate seat, that would put pressure on Sinema to behave in ways that would help her win a Democratic primary...
Replying to @khuey_
Risking control how? Do you think she'd switch parties? I don't think she'd have much chance in a Republican primary in Arizona. (Democrats holding the senate in 2024 will be tough either way; it's the most D-leaning of the three classes. See dbaron.org/senate-classes/ .)

Got to see the end of the lunar eclipse just a few minutes before sunrise. (low quality photo, I know)

I don't think I qualify for what Jen was asking about. (Despite that I'm not sure how strictly she's defining "typography", i.e., how much graphic design outside of fonts/text is included -- I don't qualify as an expert on it.)

Just a few tweets up in my timeline I see pretty firm (and trustworthy) assertions that they did not, in fact, get it right.
Replying to @BeijingPalmer
anyway @propublica this remains a massive, embarrassing, and seriously harmful series of errors and misrepresentations

I have lived in four states, and the one whose liquor laws I consider most normal is California. It turns out California makes a lot of wine.

Reminds me of
I saw an interesting public transit pricing structure while on vacation in the Loire Valley. It's described (in French) in remi-centrevaldeloire.fr/tar… Basically, the train/bus system for the region of Centre-Val de Loire offers a pass priced to compete with rental cars. 1/5

Not surprising. The closest thing I've seen to that is the international departures schedule at Shin-Chitose (on a fixed poster, not dynamic!). Plus the set of languages on the signs in the airport... (Photos from 2015-10-31.)

(But yes, most of the commentary is on the final comparison, for good reason.)
