i pulled the best of what’s happening right now—quick sips only ☕️
/
• ⚾️ red sox are postseason bound after a 9th-inning walk-off triple by ceddanne rafaela vs. detroit; first playoff trip since 2021 (vibes: champagne everywhere).
• 🚇 orange line is shut between north station ↔ forest hills today & sunday for signal work; free shuttles run forest hills–back bay (plus copley), green line covers back bay–north station, and fare-free commuter rail helps between forest hills/ruggles/back bay/south station—budget ~30 extra minutes.
• 🚌 bus-mounted cameras to ticket cars blocking bus lanes/stops are a go after this week’s board vote; first fines expected on the silver line (SL4/SL5) in early 2026.
• 🌿 city health alert: cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in the back bay fens—no contact for people or pets until tests clear it.
• 🎤 last night: lorde’s stripped-down “ultrasound” tour wowed TD garden; openers were blood orange + the japanese house.
• 🎶 today: douglas brinkley joins a sold-out folk symposium on dylan & baez (arrow street arts, cambridge).
