@lynannelowry I was on the car with the medical emergency. An elderly woman wasn’t seated yet when the train left the station in Ballston and she fell very hard. I called the train operator and stayed with her until help arrived. She was in bad shape. 😕

lmao and of course they told us it was single tracking, then moved us back to the usual side without telling anyone 💀

finally leaving the Virginia Square @wmata station (without my sanity) after a 15-minute delay w/ zero guidance. a no-passenger train blocked the track I needed, the loudspeaker said electrical issue, but the signs said medical emergency. no staff around to clarify 🙃

@DRailDaFlyyest Where? I saw something too over Northern Virginia around 7:30pm.

I just saw a meteor in real time, that was wild AF!!!

Transforming our agrifood systems requires targeted interventions & concerted action to address hidden social, environmental & health costs. I hope #SOFA2024 report serves as a call to action & inspires individual & collective efforts to ensure #SDGs & #4Betters. #TrueCostOfFood

We're gearing up to launch the 2024 edition of The State of Food and Agriculture #SOFA2024 : Value-driven transformation of agrifood systems Register to join us! 🗓️ 8 November ⏰ 12:00 CET 📌fao.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

I hate Halloween in DC what do you mean you’re dressed as the farm bill

@Kravitz76 October 30 is a significant holiday in my mind, on par with my birthday and anniversary. 🎂

Can't believe it's been 5 years! #Natitude

Peter Goodman from @WorldBank highlights that TCA has the potential to overcome siloed approaches. Bringing departments and Ministries together can be a key challenge in policymaking, but TCA has already initiated cross-departmental collaboration at the World Bank.

@annalappe's Opening Remarks: "True Cost Accounting is not just telling the story of impact and the story of damage, but the story of possibility" Anna was referencing this study by @futureoffoodorg & @GistImpact futureoffood.org/wp-content/upl…

“Public procurement is a really powerful way to [to transition to regenerative and agroecological approaches]. Using true cost accounting, we can make that case even more compelling than I think we otherwise would be able to do so.” - @InnovationWoman #COP16Colombia

@BuildTheStatue @JeffPassan @CharlieSlowes This still makes me cry!

@JeffPassan People don’t pay enough attention to @CharlieSlowes youtu.be/ehK89sLiRDY?si… youtu.be/5IBs1etGQlI

Howie Rose’s call last night got me thinking about how cool it would be to have a thread with all the great baseball radio calls. So let’s make one. Add below. I’ll start: The inimitable Tom Hamilton roaring “Down goes Anderson!” will never, ever get old.

@CharlieSlowes @_PabloRoa @JeffPassan The lead up to this moment with @DaveJageler summoning the home run, together with @CharlieSlowes call… just perfection.

@_PabloRoa @JeffPassan Near the top of my list of all time favorite moments!

@spencernusbaum_ I’m in denial.

Also, adios to the Cherry Blossom jerseys. What a run they had.

@MarkZuckerman Me at Zimm’s 22nd and yes hearing he is now 40 makes me feel old. (This was an epic game btw.)

Ryan Zimmerman turns 40 today, which should make every one of us feel old.

@chelsea_janes Noooooo!!! 😡

This weekend is the last time the Nationals are wearing the Cherry Blossom City Connects, one of the best jerseys in recent DC sports history. Will be retired after this season. Plan here, as elsewhere, was to cycle them in and out for three years.

@MarkZuckerman That was a beautiful moment. Loved his emotional reaction. 🥹

#SweetFancyMoses In his first major league plate appearance since breaking his leg and tearing his ankle ligament 13 months ago, Stone Garrett homered. Nats lead 3-0.

@RebeccaCNReid Technically I think they met when she was running around naked in his paddling pool

Walz on his son Gus getting emotional during his speech: "I'm grateful I got to experience it. I'm so proud of him. I'm proud of him, I'm proud of hope, I'm proud of Gwen ... our politics can be better ... life can be kinda hard."

@jbendery Same. I’d be bursting. 😭

If my young daughter ever looks at me like Gus Walz just looked at his dad through a stream of tears and proudly shouted "that's my dad," that will be the single happiest moment of my life.
