sabotabbySo no one's blogged the driver vs. bike courier brawl that made the front cover of the Star this morning? Shame on you, blogosphere! I shouldn't have to read about teh intarwebs in the newspaper.
It's heartening to see that most of the comments support the courier, as well they should. But I'm a dedicated pedestrian, which means that I'm the lowest on the Hogtown totem pole (cyclists can be dicks to pedestrians), so the real kudos go to the bystanders who intervened. Cheers!
My own rage today is directed at the convenience store owner who (although he once sold me tokens), refused today to even open his bloody cash register to give me change for the streetcar. This seems to be a pattern lately. We're all aware that streetcar drivers don't give change, right? So why be uptight about opening the cash register? Do I really look like I'm going to rob the place?
In other news, Chuck O is co-hosting an exhibition of radical poster art.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
englishpigdog is a total keener and made some posters already. I can't read one of them, but this one is awesome. Don't miss the roter_terror cameo!
Also, Fafblog has finally settled the question of whether the president can eat a baby during a time of war.
