"We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and the second hall. The pool is up to the wall at West Gate. The Watcher in the Water took Óin. We cannot get out. The end comes soon. We hear drums... drums in the deep. They are coming"

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show!
Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.
WASHINGTON—In a judgment the majority of justices said reflected the intentions of the Founding Fathers, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling this week that upheld state bans on transgender athletes, adopting an originalist vision for junior varsity volleyball rosters.
