What even is time?

I just looked at my open tabs, and then moused over the time shown at the bottom of my screen to check whether today was Friday or Saturday.

No, it's Thursday. That's not a problem, exactly--there's nothing I'm forgetting to do--but indicative of how weird things have gotten.

NYC subway closing overnight

This makes sense, but seems weird nonetheless: starting May 7th, the New York City subways will be closed for cleaning from 1 to 5 a.m. every day.

There's an "essential connector" replacement service, for which would-be passengers have to show ID that they are working in essential jobs. The bus system will also be running overnight.
