This gruesome scene was found and documented by @square006, who said:
“On Muni, just noticed this pile of discarded gummi bears next to me. They’re all headless.”
It’s a rough world out there. We’ll put up a Wanted poster once we hear back from SFPD.
Here’s a fun game that Jenn suggested on Twitter: “One of these two is listening (very loudly) to Eminem. Guess which one it is.”
Go!

Alia of On Transit had a missed connection at the MacArthur BART station, involving Proust, neuroscience, and what could have been. Help a fellow rider out. Did you read over Alia’s shoulders the other day and finish her sentences? Are you the one?
I look up from Proust Was A Neuroscientist, wishing not for the first time that I could answer, “English” or “Neuroscience” or “Just so you know, I could read real science books if I wan-ted.”

“I just saw the UC Berkeley stamp. I’m sorry, I was reading over your shoulder—I know I shouldn’t do that, but it looked really interesting—”

Now he interrupts me. “The part about how we need change to learn, that’s—”
“I know! The book is about how literature and science—
“Yes, I saw a thing once about technology that—
“Right, but this is more like—”
Read the rest of Alia’s missed connection and her transit stories.
One of our favorite Muni drivers has returned to the wheel, rider Jonathan reports. We first met Tammy in 2010 when she threw an amazing surprise party on the 33-Stanyan.
Last year Tammy was suddenly absent from our commute, and she emailed to tell us about a tragedy that had happened to her family: the death of Tammy’s son in a car accident. The outpouring of your kind comments was amazing. (see Tammy’s story)
Jonathan wrote us with an update:

Thanks, Jonathan, for the update on Tammy, who brings a smile to so many of her passengers!
