City foxes. Rotating early/afternoon/late shifts, some hours I’ve caught sight of a couple, a lolloping bounce, a quick scan and off

A mate has an allotment and visiting the spring shift of chores, the variety and volume of insects seems to have improved slightly this season. That’s food for birds, bees should follow soon. Mutual aid. Good for the head
They run the gaff now, they’re not giving up their territory when lockdown is over. I’ve seen them running along the beach which I’ve never seen before. I’m used to their post 10pm ambles but now it’s anytime after about 4 - cheeky fuckers.

the way homeless people cross busy roads with absolute zero fear of getting hit, almost acting as if all those speeding cars don't even exist.

Three American VTOLs flying over Exeter in a Cornwallish direction.

Half expecting to hear on the news that Johnson has got drunk over breakfast and then put Biden in a headlock while giving him a noogie and chanting playground taunts in Latin.

There is some kind of animal rights group in Portugal which is called the IRA - unfortunate coincidence of initials you would think.... except their publicity photos normally featuring black clad balaclava wearing thugs suggest otherwise. Today sitting outside a restaurant I notice one of the vehicles they presumably use for drive-by shootings or when they need to get the gang together to administer a punishment beating or kneecapping.

some sort of new fitness method popping up. it's called ems-training and they promise you a complete workout reduced into twenty minutes. you have to wear a specific kind of suit that gives you electroshocks during the workout. they do their workouts in the storefront so everybody can see them.

i don't know but i can't believe it works. anyway it made me think how everything is about reducing time lately, the same way these new supermarket delivery services popped up, offering to deliver products within ten minutes. these ems-training stores have big advertisements on the window saying "fitness for people who don't have time" and i do believe that people spend too much time working their 9 to 5 jobs but what's the point of saving yourself a few minutes on fitness, and a few minutes on grocery shopping, when the time you win with that are spent on social media?

"we are minimising friction and wait time.
the shrinking of the time-lag between fulfilment and desire and CORRESPONDINGLY
the frustration and confusion when the most important desires are not undergoing the same process. sex and love and friendship and understanding etc etc etc are as hard as ever to come by."

I wonder about things like that, my friend used to work for a carpet fitting company in East London and the guy had named it after his favourite type of weed - after a few years when it had been around for a while and become more established, and I suppose he himself had grown up, he found it rather embarrassing and he changed it so the company was mainly known by its initials.

I'd like to think that the international logistics company or whatever it is photo'd above had a similar story but most likely not.
