Hi, I got a ticket for Fight Back, the experimental play happening on the 11th. Turns out it’s a bad idea to go to a play where you have to participate during finals week. Would anyone like the ticket instead? Or should I cancel it?

People so correct me if I’m wrong but the way I see it, after congress, TVK goes to 112 (excluding Vijay’s second seat) and they need 6 more.

AIMUL or whatever the Muslim league is called has 2 seats but they’ve renewed support for DMK, so this leaves us with the 2 left parties with 4 seats each and VCK with 2 more.

6 takes them to the magical figure of 118 which establishes majority.

So Vijay either:

1. Allies with the experienced kingmakers from the left, thereby facing the pressure of succumbing to everything that they want him to do, essentially being a DMK Trojan horse within the govt while they comfortably sit in the opposition - this gives the DMK the best case scenario from a worst case result. And I personally think this is the best option.

2. Accepts Amit Shahs 1000-1200 crore “donation” to woo greedy ppl from either dmk or admk by horse trading à la Karnataka 2019 and becomes a bjp proxy

3. Allies with the ADMK or some split faction of it (unlikely given EPS wouldn’t allow) and give a proverbial slap in the face for all the geniuses that thought Vijay = change from Dravidian politics + gets the bjp proxy label whether he likes it or not due to their alliance with ADMK.

4. Does some fuckery, fails the floor test, govt collapses, governor rule aka bjp rule then re elections

What other paths are there potentially?

Hi, I’ve been trying to learn the different rolling stock, procurement eras and such. I’ve only lived here since last August. As of TODAY, is there any way I can ride an R46 or are they all done for already? The rockaway shuttle perhaps?

I’ve been in nyc for 8 months and the ones I’ve not ridden yet are the 3,W,Z, Rockaway Shuttle and D trains, curious to see how long it took yall to naturally ride all the lines without having to go out of your way to
