Not sure on that one. I hardly ever go through that part of the station (Amtrak)…I’m more near the Metro entrances

That’s a good one.

It’s very good

A classic

I think that’s was written because they got hold of a 19th century advertisement for a carnival and the lyrics are just adapted from it

Seriously this reminds me of the early enthusiasm for BlueSky. Such wonderful songs, feelings & thoughts.

Haha there are more than 3,000 quotes and replies and counting

Meaning if you went through it all and listened to a new song once a day every day, you’d have more than 8 years of material

Great job everyone

Bluesky has the juice

And the tunes 🎶

It’s only 6th longest, surprisingly bsky.app/profile/wait...
You, vibes-based: ugh Dupont Circle escalator is broken, I am so out of breath, this must be the longest escalator in DC & maybe the whole country

Me, data-based: actshually it is only the 6th longest escalator in the Metro system. Meanwhile Wheaton’s is the longest in the entire dang hemisphere

People underestimate the importance of their butterfly effects. Every little thing you put into the world ripples through civilization. So make them good things.
