Under Randy Clarke, WMATA has cut the end-to-end travel time on the Metro Red Line by 8 minutes. This is a 68 minute trip, so it's a gain in efficiency of over 10% on top of faster trips for riders.
This is a combination of automated train operation (with doors closing sooner), raising the speed limit back to the original design of 75 mph, and I imagine other fixes.

Nice gimmick with the shop window animating the stories as they're told, and it liking the simple story of Belinda saving a single life.
Not really clear if the Barber here is a story writer or a story collector. He seems to want credit as though he wrote them but also to not have a name to credit them to, and to have weaved some kinda story collecting machine. He surely can't take credit for all human stories? It was a beautiful machine: a story tree that's also a brain with a heart in it.
I find myself sympathetic with the aims of this barber anyway. Yes, do kill all the gods. Great plan! Lets do it.
I play this song from Julian Cope, Psychedelic Odin, in which he swears to undertake a holy task set by a group of River Nixes: Kill all the gods for us, oh do it well.
So I like a story teller killing gods, I don't really want his plans thwarted! Join him Doctor! Kill al
l the gods!
Beautiful big space spider, weaving all the stories into it's web. Not sure why it's there though. Seems like just outer-space with no spider would have done,
Always like the callbacks with all the prior doctor's faces too. His story is truely one of the most epic. Only Coronation Street has him beat for length 😆
This whole season is great.

Have been watching Your Friends and Neighbors on #AppleTVPlus . No masterpiece, and somehow fairly annoying, but still somehow I want to watch all of it. I often find myself fast-forwarding through boring bits, though.

It’s exhilarating to hear Bernie Sanders speak to a crowd:
his zeal is reflected back in their faces,
his moral clarity is such a relief,
set against the cynicism and resignation of most of the Democratic party’s opposition to Trump and his administration.
Class war is as old as time, but it’s a peculiarity of this age that you rarely hear a politician name it.
“I do,” he tells me. “There is a class war going on. The people on top are waging that war.”
