EV Chargers Should Be Dumber
There are so many aspects of our lives that are being over-engineered and this is definitely one of them. The one thing gasoline has going for it at the moment is that you can pull up, fill up for a few minutes, pay and you're gone. It cannot get much simpler than that. In contrast, EV charging seems to involve apps. App after app after app. We don't have a full EV at the moment, but even just for parking I have three apps on my phone.
Dumb charging is where it's at. I'm sure an EV future isn't far away but any and every barrier should be removed to get us there quicker.

★ The unmistakable energy of Premier League football
It took me way too long to figure out what the difference was between the 'old' and new logo. It's the white outline which is applied universally and there's now no negative version.
The motion graphics for the change in identity confused me because they show the vector point handles moving but nothing changes but it's probably for the best that there's a singular version rather than multiple.
The other part to this rebrand is that the outline is offset a bit so where it meets the eye of the lion, the outline can't be seen (or very subtle in some cases) and it gives the logo some depth.
Extremely subtle update, but a good evolution and simplification of the brand.

Comprehensive is an understatement, what a mammoth effort to shoehorn everything in.

London's Urban Foxes
Alan Taylor:
London's urban fox population has been growing and becoming more visible since the early 20th century. Foxes are well adapted to city and suburban life, and their numbers appear to have stabilized at about 10,000 foxes living in the gardens, parks, and alleyways of London alone.
Foxes really are everywhere in London, we hear and see them often. Seeing them I don't mind but hearing them at 2am fighting, mating or just being foxy(?!), can be really annoying.
