Think you’re being clever with your less-than-high-brow novel? @genaweave is on to you.
Woman on #sfmuni is reading her book upside down. There is a 95% chance that she’s secretly reading#50shadesofgray. – @genaweave
Oh snap.
Side story: When I saw 50 Shades of Grey at Green Apple Books, at first I thought it was a book about being black in America. Another friend thought it was a book about aging gracefully. How wrong we were.
Here, the cringe factor has been dialed up to 11. The same awk off-camera eye angles for the professor are accompanied by Judy and Jerry, the model Muni citizen and her polar opposite.
Proceed with caution (apparently, SFMTA disabled video embeds for this one. Good call?) … video is here.
Okay, folks. It’s been two full days now of Muni’s official (as opposed to its unspoken) all-door boarding policy. Just in case you ain’t got the hang of things yet, allow SFMTA to guide you through this difficult transition in this tutorial shot in its “Muni Labs.” Yes, this video appears on SFMTA’s official YouTube channel.
Also: Double-yoo-the-fuck!?

All the talk is deservedly about all-door boarding on Muni, which kicked into gear just yesterday (or 100 years ago, depending on whom you ask).
However, we discovered this wonderful depiction of Muni egress from citybythebaylife on Tumblr*:

*This also allows us to post a GIF on Muni Diaries, which, rad.
He must have brass balls. Cuz when he ain’t slingin’ you chumps around town, he’s straight pimpin’ this ride. And he’ll park on the curb if he damn well please.
Mun!4Lyfe, or something.
