Tis the season. This guy got rescued a little later.
Rapidly growing fox stuck under a back gate that I guess he used to fit under.

Been a bit of a week for it tbh.
Some sort of low-quality pegging belt on the pavement. How do you lose that?

'Similar items'
Chair-back coat hanger, another one the same (so far, so good), a black tshirt (hmm) and then a 'punk men leather harness body chest bondage belt'

Apple poster ad for, well, Apple, on the wall opposite a platform in Oxford Circus tube. Caption reads Great ideas (used to) start here. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is burrowing out of one side.

logical extension: whack-a-royal 🫅🔨
A further logical extension led me to My Jolly Lives Next Door (Comic Strip Presents) and their mission to 'take out' Nicholas Parsons

New BBC crime drama just dropped.
Composite image of Charles, Camilla, William and Kate from BBC News that makes them look like a tv crime family like some combination of McMafia and Kin.

Found this little guy in work this morning on the worktop in our kitchen area #stainsofbluesky
Coffee stain with a speck that looks like a cutesy little stegosaur

There’s a common phrase in investing, usually used mockingly, that “It’s different this time.” If you need to rebut someone who’s predicting the future won’t perfectly mirror the past, say, “Oh, so you think it’s different this time?” and drop the mic. It comes from investor John Templeton’s view that “The four most dangerous words in investing are, ‘it’s different this time.’” Templeton, though, admitted that it is different at least 20% of the time. The world changes. Of course it does. And those changes are what matter most over time. Michael Batnick put it: “The twelve most dangerous words in investing are, ‘The four most dangerous words in investing are, ‘it’s different this time.’” From 'The Psychology of Money' by Morgan Housel

Yep, for sure. I have the same thoughts about the Epstein stuff (and the way the Whitehouse is dragging it out).

What a hideous font.
The advertising hoardings on the wall opposite a tube station platform. Every one to the vanishing point is an iPhone 13 ad and the word 'pro' in a hideous overly-wide blocky font. Someone should bury Jony Ive so he can turn in that temporary grave at the thought of a powder coated orange phone. Bleh, as Snoopy would say.

The Peruvians have got all the good shit.
Lots of different cultivars of Peruvian spuds. Some crazy shapes -- pine cone, banana, all sorts -- and colours from black through purple and red all the way to yellowish.

The Guardian widget only seems to auto-refresh the text, not the images. Hilarity ensues.

Finally I have a definition of done-done-done ✊
Ticket status change modal from Jira titled 'Done', for which I have picked the detail option 'Done' and will press the button bottom right that says... wait for it... 'Fascist Swan Supper' (no it doesn't -- it says 'Done').

‘OK, Google, what do you think of Alexa?’ I enquired. ‘I like her, especially her blue light,’ it answered unflappably, before adding: ‘We assistants must stick together.’ From the room next door, where Amazon’s device was sitting on another desk, Alexa activated itself to utter one word: ‘Thanks!’

A section of the Petrobras Viaduct in the Brazilian rainforest. Basically a short, raised stretch of concrete-paved road with dead ends and trees all around.
