Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

- Have you ever wanted to quit your job and become a professional pillow-fight champ? The Grid has a guide to doing that.
- Remember Officer Adam “Bubbles” Josephs, the Toronto cop who got ornery with some bubble-blowing protesters during the G20, and then tried to sue YouTube users when they made fun of him for it? The lawyer who defended those YouTube users is part of a punk band, and they have now written a song about the incident.
- An Ontario court has ruled that you can’t go naked in public whenever you feel like it. Luckily, some of us work from home.
- A couple of weeks ago the Star published an article that raised the possibility of installing urban gondolas—basically ski lifts—for use as a form of public transportation in Toronto. Now, it seems Vancouver, which was actually (actually!) thinking about going ahead with a similar idea, may not be doing it after all, because it’s too expensive. So we’ll all just have to go to Rio de Janeiro to ride theirs.
