Visualization of Muni Movement
Week Around the -ists
- Gothamist found that an explosive set off outside the Times Square army recruiting center may be similar to five past bombings in New York City.
- Seattlest worried when severed right feet and bottles of rat poison started washing up on local beaches.
- Shanghaiist was surprised by Bjork's rooting for Tibetan independence at her concert (see video), and the political fallout has only just begun.
- SFist debated the merits of new bronze plaques that will be placed in locations where San Francisco's homeless have died.
- DCist was obliged to respond to the worst Washington Post Outlook column ever published, in which conservative writer Charlotte Allen tried to make the case that women are dumb.
- LAist found Satan's ice cream truck trolling the streets, and they recorded the music.
- Some crafty Torontoist readers didn't like the dearth of ski hills in downtown Toronto, so they just built one of their own on their deck and (of course) recorded a video of them all taking turns on it.
- Bostonist knows the city's subway and bus system, the MBTA, has problems. So does this 17-year-old who submitted a report and told the MBTA brass how to fix it.
- Phillyist explored the possibility of an Ivy League prostitute, while their commenters debated the most ethical approach to proving or debunking the story.
- Londonist spent a little too much time looking at airbrushed operatic private parts, and enjoyed an enlightening comment from someone who was there.

While Golden Gate Bridge shots tend to veer on the boring side of SFist's Flickr stream, we really admire this image here shot by Jameth. Amazing yet so simple. Brilliant.

SFist Finds: VJJ
We found ourselves asking ourselves lots of questions when we decided to post this piece of urban art that SFist reader Mike found on the corner of Sutter and Larkin last week. We were like, is this not suitable for work? It's just graffiti, and it looks just like all the beautiful vagina clichés that are cliché for a reason. It's like a lovely clam, or a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, or a head of cabbage resting in a loaf of French bread (see full image after the jump). This tagger is the Georgia O'Keeffe of the streets, we tell you. (But, if they hadn't written "VAGINA," would we be at all sure, it was in fact, a vagina?)
Oh No, Ed Jew!: Calculated Attack
Hooray! We're back with more Ed Jew news! And this time, with a vast Sunset-wing conspiracy.
SFist Finds: Happy Val'z Day!
SFist reader Mai sent us this precious find that she found last Friday at 22nd and Valencia. Below is Mai's transcription, about which she said, "I tried to stay as true to the capitalization as I could." Thanks, Mai!

Help the Budding Memorial at Capp/24th Street Bloom
Here we see the start of a memorial at Capp and 24th Streets, right on the spot where a 19-year-old male lost his life in a double shooting last night. Are those bullet holes? Yikes.

As hard as it is for us, we're keeping our mouth shut on this one—because, wow—so: discuss.
SFist Finds: Later 'Gator
SFist reader/ commenter Jameth picked up this little lady at Church & Market on Monday and has taken her on quite a few adventures. We don't know that much about her except that she used to have a body and was a golfer in her past life.

Outbound N-Judah Hits Pedestrian
An elderly woman was struck by an outbound N-Judah this evening around 5:45 p.m. at 9th Avenue and Irving Street. Over at N-Judah Chronicles, fittingly enough, Greg Dewar was downing a pint at Blackthorn Tavern when the collision occurred.
SFist Finds: Vintage Muni Transfer
SFist reader/commenter Tendernob kindly sent this find our way:

Seeing as how we're ashamed of and grossed out by almost every bodily function imaginable, if you want to see the uncensored image above, featuring canine fecal matter adorned with a US flag, you can find it hiding behind the jump. It's visually coarse, and you've been warned.
