The scrolling LED sign by the fare gates at South Station used to helpfully tell you the time, which was useful when you were coming up the escalator from the platforms below and your cellphone doesn't like telling you the time if it can't get a signal ("Hey, if I can't get my signal, you ain't getting your time.") However, since Thursday (at least) it has been replaced with a scrolling message, which I shall attempt to reproduce verbatim below:

"Did you know that sign's got a spelling error on it?" I asked one of the gate attendants on Thursday. She took a look, read the sign as it scrolled by, and snorted.

"Figures," she said.

We're all in this together.

Apparently Lunacon had as part of their programming track three years ago a panel that involved both Ann Rice and Ayn Rand in the title. It made my eyes water in either beauty or pain, I'm not sure which. Perhaps painful beauty.
