I was just on a red line train inbound btw Harvard and Central. Some sort of object came flying from the direction of an outbound train as it passed and smashed a window on our train with a loud pop. Pretty damn scary but nobody hurt. Every time I ride the MBTA it’s something!

Since Twitter's devolution into X I've been mainly just a frequent lurker here, but still wanted to let people know that after 15 years, my little opera about the 2009 VP debate between Palin & Biden is BACK for one night only, 10/5. guerillaopera.org
