  • The other day while strolling down Harrison, I noticed a Google Shopping Express car parked with its floodlights on in the middle of a crosswalk. My gut reaction was to take a picture to show the Internet another example of a tech company's blatant colonization and disrespect for public space. I thought it was ridiculous that it was parked right on the corner, blocking pedestrians and creating a blind spot for turning cars. When I thought about it more though, I figured I would do the same thing if I was in a rush (plus, it was a pretty quiet part of the day). But then again, if you're representing Google in this hot political climate, you should probably be more mindful. My favorite result of all this was the reaction from people in a passing car: "yeaaah, fvck Google!".
