Up top, well, I’m no fan of wicker, but I suppose some people find comfort in this “rigid material.”
Below, yeah, that’s more my style. This one was delivered to us via @ohshititsjake.

The Examiner today brings us news that several Muni protests planned for Monday could disrupt service. From the Examiner:
Event organizers have targeted the intersection of Third Street and Palou Avenue in the Bayview district as the gathering point for the protest, which calls for all Muni lines to be shut down. The T-Third Street light-rail line and the 54-Felton, 44-O’Shaughnessy, 24-Divisadero and 23-Monterey bus lines all pass through the intersection.
Muni says it is bracing for disruptions.
Kristen Holland, a Muni spokeswoman, said the agency is aware of the planned protest, and is taking the necessary steps to ensure that service runs as smoothly as possible. She did not discuss specifics of the agency’s strategies, saying that those details could aid the protestors.
It’s unclear who is organizing the protest, and when it might start. Read the Examiner post for more information.
Seriously, it looks like some kid had a sticker machine gun, and just went berzerkers on this Muni seat. I recognize Scooby Doo, the Mystery Machine, and the Scooby ghosts. And those school stickers that say, “You’re Smart!”

Not sure whether this is our favorite singing Muni driver, but @uppityfag has the deets:

That bus driver has made Play-Doh out of this guy.
Looks like he’s headed the wrong way down a one-way. Tee hee.
