A quick trip to Monkton Cemetery for a litter pick to retrieve 57 gin and tonic cans littered in the bushes!❌🍸 These were all varying in deterioration, littered along the path entrance (about a 20m stretch) making my guess that these are all from one person littered across several visits (but that’s just a hunch). With plenty bins around it begs the question, how do we stop pointless littering? I hope one day we have an incentive like the deposit return scheme ♻️

I want to talk about this scene real quick. Starting from the entrance of the killers. The authority, aura and gun handling they walked in with was insanely good. They knew they were in charge Now to Oboz. This was genius acting. He went from confusion to fear, to pseudo confidence, to real confidence then confusion again and finally acceptance. He did all these with his facial expression, words and body movement. Everything within one minute The camera angles and panning was well done and then the music solidified everything This is one of the greatest scene in new age Nollywood history.

FF7 Rebirth may have Modern Graphics, but it has lost its sense of Art. The Gold Saucer reveal puts this on full display: OG FF7 -Tram looks both tiny and impossibly high up in the sky. Where even are you? -Park reveal is slow, grand, and given time to breathe -You can hear thousands of people cheering everywhere. Gives a sense of population and life -Lets the park imagery speak for itself -Entrance: Giant moogle mouth. Balloons fly up. "WELCOME" sign. Intense striking colors. Packed with detail FF7 Rebirth -No use of size contrast. No use of height in the sky. Park reveal is too quick -Scene focuses more on Yuffie & the gang's reaction than the actual park itself -Characters constantly have to remind us how amazing it is -Only one strong visual of the park at the end -Entrance: A janitor's closet that leads into a staff room -Random black-robed men for no good reason I never thought you could make Gold Saucer underwhelming. But somehow they found a way #FF7 #FF7Rebirth #FinalFantasy7

“Assuming I didn’t have this idea, they would have røbbed me last night.” — Driver shares how he narrowly escaped an attempted røbbery, while advising Uber, Bolt, and inDrive drivers on how to stay security-conscious during night work. According to him: • If a rider’s address is, for example, No. 5, drive past it and wait at No. 7, positioning your car for a quick exit while observing their movements. • Always central lock your car, keep your engine running, and avoid putting the car in neutral. • At the destination, especially in gated compounds, don’t drive inside, drop off at the entrance. • Never pick up passengers who didn’t book through the app. • If a rider asks you to pick up another person along the way, politely decline.

After getting off work, a young woman walked up to her apartment building, unaware that a man had been trailing a few steps behind her. As she reached the entrance, the security camera captured him lingering close, watching as she unlocked the door. The footage later showed how he tried to slip inside before the door fully shut, but she quickly noticed and forced it closed just in time. It’s unsettling to think how vulnerable simple routines, like walking home, can be. Security systems can help, but awareness and quick instincts matter just as much. No one should feel unsafe just trying to make it through their front door. How often do situations like this happen without cameras to reveal the danger?

Two women walked into a gas station late at day, casually browsing the aisles. One slipped a bottle of vodka into her bag while the other kept watch. They hurried out, thinking no one noticed, forgetting there were cameras covering every angle of the store. Moments later, panic set in. One of them had bolted too fast and left her friend behind. Realizing it, she awkwardly returned to the entrance to grab her before speeding off. It’s surprising how often people underestimate modern security systems. A quick thrill or impulsive decision can easily turn into charges, fines, and a permanent record. Sometimes, the “getaway” isn’t as invisible as it seems. In a world filled with surveillance cameras, why do people still believe small thefts will go unnoticed?

What if your favorite childhood toy had its own story before finding you? 🧸 Created with Seedance 2.0 on FlovaAI #Flovaai #Flovacpp FlovaAI_Japan PROMPT: Style: Premium Pixar-quality 3D animation, anime-inspired facial expressions, ultra-detailed fur simulation, cinematic lighting, magical realism, vibrant toy store, expressive eyes, soft bloom, ray-traced reflections, dynamic camera movement, Hollywood animated film quality. Prompt: Open with an ultra-wide cinematic establishing shot of a massive premium toy store during golden hour as families browse colorful aisles. Fast dolly shot through shelves overflowing with plush toys, action figures, trains, dolls, and racing cars. Cut to a low-angle close-up of Oliver, the caramel teddy bear with his blue scarf, sitting proudly on the shelf. His amber eyes sparkle with hope. Match cut to six-year-old Emma running excitedly into frame, stopping directly in front of Oliver. Extreme close-up of her smiling face as she hugs him tightly against her chest. Over-the-shoulder shot from Oliver's perspective as Emma happily says, "Can we get this one?" Her mother reaches toward the shelf—but accidentally grabs another identical teddy from behind him. Quick push-in on Oliver's face as his smile fades. Slow-motion shot of Emma walking away while looking back at him. Rack focus from Oliver's tearful eyes to the closing automatic doors. The store lights dim one by one. A loud CLICK echoes as the final light switches off. 🎬 PART 2 — "When Toys Wake Up" Duration: 0:15–0:30 Prompt: Complete darkness. Oliver's button eyes slowly blink open. Extreme close-up of his eyes reflecting moonlight. Whip pan across the store as hundreds of toys suddenly come alive. RC cars drift through polished floors leaving glowing tire streaks. Toy trains rush along display tracks. Dolls laugh while twirling between shelves. Giant Rex the dinosaur lets out a playful roar that shakes nearby boxes. Titan-X activates with glowing cyan eyes. Fast handheld-style tracking shot follows Oliver sprinting across shelves. He leaps between toy boxes in slow motion. Dynamic overhead shot as Bolt the RC car races underneath him, giving him a boost. Oliver lands perfectly onto Chug the toy train as it speeds around a corner. Dramatic orbit shot around Oliver as he quietly whispers, "I have to find her." The music builds rapidly. 🎬 PART 3 — "The Adventure" Duration: 0:30–0:45 Prompt: High-speed action montage. Oliver jumps off the moving train onto hanging gift ribbons, swinging across the aisle. Fast rotating camera follows him weaving through floating balloons. Rex accidentally crashes through stacked toy boxes, causing colorful blocks to rain everywhere. Oliver slides beneath a closing display shelf in slow motion. Bolt races beside him before launching him off a miniature toy ramp. FPV-style camera flies alongside Oliver as he narrowly avoids spinning helicopters and bouncing rubber balls. Titan-X extends a mechanical arm, catching Oliver just before he falls from a high shelf. Cinematic top-down shot reveals the giant locked entrance doors. Oliver runs with everything he has, but the automatic doors refuse to open. Extreme close-up of his tiny paw pressing against the cold glass. Outside, the first rays of sunrise begin to appear. 🎬 PART 4 — "Meant to Be" Duration: 0:45–1:00 Prompt: Soft emotional piano begins. Low-angle shot of Oliver sitting sadly near the entrance as the toys quietly watch from behind. Suddenly, a restocking employee pushes Mr. Wheels, the shopping cart, through the entrance. Dynamic tracking shot as Mochi nudges Oliver forward. Titan-X gently lifts him while Bolt gives one final speed boost. Oliver jumps through the air in beautiful slow motion, perfectly landing inside the shopping cart filled with new toys. Match cut to the toy display being restocked moments later. The store opens. Bright morning sunlight floods the entrance. Emma runs back inside with her mother. Handheld child-height camera follows her weaving through customers. She suddenly freezes, her eyes widening. Push-in on Oliver sitting exactly at the front of the display. "Mom! It's him!" She hugs Oliver tightly against her chest. Extreme close-up of Oliver's stitched smile as one tiny happy tear forms in his eye. The camera slowly cranes upward as Emma walks toward the glowing exit carrying Oliver. Warm golden sunlight fills the frame. Fade to white. Final Screen Text: "Some friendships are simply meant to be." 🧸✨

Home Depot needs a bar. Not some sad coffee kiosk— a legit lumberyard lounge maybe called The Buzz Saw. One drink maximum, but the menu is endless: ice-cold IPAs, smooth bourbons, crisp seltzers, even a “Weekend Warrior” margarita that hits just right. No heavy pours, no bar tabs that bankrupt you. Just enough buzz to turn that overwhelming sea of aisles into a playground. Picture it: you walk in, that fresh-cut pine smell hits you like freedom. Grab a stool at the bar near the entrance. One quick drink while the helpful associate (now your new best friend) runs through tool recommendations. “This DeWalt drill? Pairs perfectly with the pale ale.” Suddenly you’re not just buying a hammer—you’re building the damn man cave of your dreams. Flooring? Hell yes. That fancy grill? Load it up. The oscillating sander you didn’t know you needed? Ring it up. Wives dragging their feet on paint swatches? “Babe, park it at the bar, sip a rosé, I’ll handle the heavy stuff.” No more bitching, just happy vibes and bigger carts. Impulse buys go through the roof. Studies already show alcohol loosens wallets—why do you think Costco moves so much booze? Home Depot could own the weekend warrior market. Employees become legends: mixologists in orange aprons slinging advice with the drinks. “Pro tip: that pressure washer goes down smoother with a shot of enthusiasm.” Shareholders cheer as same-store sales spike. Target has Starbucks. Kroger has lattes. Home Depot deserves cold ones. Let’s make hardware sexy again. Corporate, if you’re reading: one drink max keeps it responsible, endless choices keep it fun. Families win, marriages survive the reno, and America gets shit done with a smile. Who’s ready to swing by The Buzz Saw this Saturday?

There’s been A LOT of talk about the renovations at Fourways Mall. I decided to pop into the mall and see the R400 million worth of upgrades for myself… Let’s start with that drop-and-go entrance - it used to be pure chaos. They’ve redesigned the layout to accommodate quick Uber drop-offs. This entrance used to see around 16 000 people a day… now, thanks to the new e-hailing services drop off, foot traffic has shot up to around 67 000 people per day. Big difference. We know that the mall has struggled with a high level of vacancies. I was pleasantly surprised to see the number of new tenants taking up shop inside. The new managing agents, Flanagan and Gerrard, along with Moolman Group, have reduced vacancies from 24% to 13%. They’ve leased over 20,000 m2 of space to new tenants and completed over 50,000 m2 in renewals. Even the Spur is back. It’s nice to see that Spur has once again taken up space in the mall. This specific Spur franchisee owns over 50 Spurs and Hussar Grills nationwide. I also noticed that there are two Lovisa Jewellery shops in the mall, which suggests they must be doing very well to justify two shops in the same mall. Let’s talk parking. If you’ve ever tried to park at Fourways, you’ll know how frustrating it’s been, like a dark, never-ending maze. But they’ve finally attempted to make it make sense. There are 8000 parking bays and now they’re numbered, colour-coded, and way better lit. They spent around R24 million just upgrading the lighting across the mall, and it looks 1000 times better. I’m not sure if you remember, but there used to be dozens of yellow buckets sprinkled throughout the corridor floors catching rainwater from the leaking roof. The roof has had a serious makeover - 60 000m2 repaired and more still being replaced. Leaking ceilings and the watermarks are gone. A lot of what they’ve done isn’t even stuff you can see. I spoke to management, and a big chunk of the budget went into behind-the-scenes renovations such as electrical systems, HVAC upgrades, and all the unsexy essential infrastructure work. Retail success relies on footfall, yes, but more than that, it depends on relevance. What stood out to me was the shift towards experiential retail - which none of the other nearby malls are really offering. I checked out their rooftop padel courts and the largest basement tactical shooting range in the southern hemisphere. You can shoot up to 107 metres, and it accommodates 44 people at once. That’s definitely a first in South African retail. They’ve also got Bounce, and Total Ninja Interactive is coming soon too - all designed to get people off their couches and into the centre. You don’t have space for this kind of thing at Sandton City, so I think Fourways is leaning into a smart niche here. And the question on all of your minds… THE PLANE. What is up with the plane? Well, she’s been restored and they have tiled the area below. I got to walk inside the plane and it looks neat. Perhaps a perfect spot for a new tenant sometime soon? So there you have it. I took a proper walk through and saw the multi-million rand upgrades with my own eyes. For me, the real takeaway is this: it’s not just about leasing out square metres anymore. It’s about experience, consistency, and showing up for your tenants and customers. The new team said what they were going to do - and they’re actually doing it. That matters.

Come spend a gym day with me 🎥🤍 Created with Seedance 2.5 on FlovaAI Prompt: Create a 60-second realistic day-in-the-life gym vlog following the same young Korean woman in her early twenties from waking up at home, getting ready, going to the gym, working out, and returning home. Overall visual style One continuous handheld front-facing smartphone selfie vlog perspective. She always films herself with the phone in her own hand at arm’s length. No third-person camera, tripod, cinematic camera movements, drones, or external filming. Make everything look like authentic modern smartphone footage: - Natural handheld shake and small framing imperfections - Realistic walking movement and occasional autofocus hunting - Minor exposure changes - Natural front-camera lens distortion - Soft natural morning light indoors and outdoors - Realistic, unfiltered smartphone colors - No beauty filter, skin smoothing, or cinematic color grading - Same face and hair throughout the entire vlog - Natural expressions, movements, and body language - No subtitles, captions, logos, watermarks, or on-screen text - No background music; use only natural diegetic sound 0–10 sec — Waking up She wakes up in her cozy bedroom wearing a cute, loose casual night suit. She grabs her phone from beside the bed and immediately starts filming herself selfie-style. She looks sleepy, messy-haired, and slightly tired, gives a small yawn, stretches, and smiles at the camera. She quietly says: “Good morning… I really don’t feel like going to the gym today.” She gets out of bed and walks toward the bathroom while holding the phone herself. 10–18 sec — Brushing teeth In the bathroom, she films herself in the mirror/selfie view while brushing her teeth. Keep it casual and imperfect, with realistic bathroom ambience and running-water sounds. She briefly looks into the camera with a sleepy expression, then rinses her mouth and smiles. She says: “But I promised myself I’d go, so… let’s do it.” 18–27 sec — Getting ready Quick natural transition back to her bedroom. She changes from her night suit into a stylish but realistic gym outfit: fitted athletic top, high-waisted leggings or comfortable athletic bottoms, clean sneakers, and minimal accessories. Show short selfie moments of her fixing her hair, adjusting her gym outfit, grabbing a water bottle and gym bag. She looks into the phone and says: “Okay, now I actually look ready.” 27–35 sec — Going to the gym She leaves home with the phone in her hand. Film brief selfie moments while walking outside and naturally bouncing with her steps. Show quick glimpses of the street, morning traffic, buildings, and her gym bag. She arrives at the gym and turns the phone slightly to show the entrance before bringing it back to her face. Natural street and gym ambience only. 35–52 sec — Workout Inside the gym, she starts with a short warm-up on a treadmill, then moves through a few exercises such as light strength training, squats, dumbbell exercises, and stretching. Keep the camera mostly front-facing and handheld, occasionally tilting naturally toward the equipment before returning to her face. She becomes slightly sweaty and out of breath but stays cheerful. She laughs and says: “Okay… this is harder than I remembered.” She takes a quick drink of water, catches her breath, then gives the camera a satisfied smile and continues her workout. Include realistic sounds of footsteps, treadmill movement, weights clanking, machines, distant conversations, and gym room tone. 52–60 sec — Returning home After finishing her workout, she leaves the gym and walks home. She looks pleasantly exhausted but happy. Cut naturally to her back at home, still holding the phone. She drops her gym bag down, takes a drink of water, relaxes on the couch or bed, and looks into the camera with a tired smile. She gives a small wave and says: “Workout done. I’m exhausted… but I’m glad I went.” She smiles, gives one final sleepy wave, and lowers the phone for a natural ending. Final requirements Keep the entire vlog fast, spontaneous, cozy, and realistic, with natural transitions between locations. The woman must remain visually consistent throughout: same facial identity, same hair, and realistic appearance. Her outfit changes only once, from the casual night suit to the gym outfit. All dialogue must be naturally spoken with visible lip movement. Use only diegetic audio—bedroom ambience, bathroom sounds, footsteps, street noise, gym sounds, water bottle sounds, and home ambience. No music, captions, subtitles, logos, watermarks, or cinematic effects. #Flovaai #Flovacpp

8 drives in with FSD v14.1.2 and here are my thoughts: First off, Mad Max mode is AMAZING in traffic. Drove down to Hawthorne on my first drive in rush hour and it cut through traffic so well. An hour drive without any human input was great. The other Speed Profiles seem like they make slightly more difference than before. Standard is perfect on city streets, hurry is a bit quicker and the lane changes are more assertive than v14.1.1. Mad Max is a bit quick at times on city streets with nobody around, as expected. The assertive lane changes are my second favorite change, after mad max. It doesn’t wait around a bit like v14.1 and v14.1.1, it commits and sends it if safe, love it. I have NOT really seen any brake stutter yet, seems gone so far. I saw one instance of slight steering wheel shaking but that’s it over the last few hours. Few things to note with Mad Max. It’s fast, but it’s very safe. It’s not going to cut people off- it makes great decisions and they’re clearly calculated. It is NOT like the Altima with a missing bumper you see flying through traffic, it’s very controlled and I love it. This is exactly what we needed for LA and it’s almost how I like to drive through traffic and how you have to drive through LA. Lane changes in each profile seem improved in this build too. Definitely noticeably better and more confident. With parking garages, I’m seeing good performance, but to note- 1 of 4 garage attempts so far it went further from the ticket booth than it used to. Feels like maybe .1 had better lot performance, but I’m going to a lot of driving tonight to make sure. It definitely obeys no right on red signs, I’ve seen it listen to every single one perfectly so far, even obscure signs. It moves over for lane splitting motorcycles well before I can see them- this increases safety for everyone especially the motorcyclists and they appreciate it. A couple of them have waved at me tonight alone to thank me. Moved over for the two construction zones I have encountered thus far, and slowed down. Standard seems like the Goldilocks profile when on city streets with no traffic to follow- doesn’t speed much and usually travels at the perfect speed. Mad max is fast when nobody around- but really good speed control when there’s cars on the road. When you enable FSD from park, I love how quickly it gets going. If it’s safe, it goes right away, feels like it’s always waiting and ready to go. Pretty awesome improvement over v13 and continually impresses me. Autosteer and TACC are back, will get some miles accumulated on autosteer for those wondering if it’s changed at all, but I don’t think it has much if it did. Here’s a 15 minute zero intervention drive just now from Santa Monica supercharger to Rodeo Drive, where it obeyed a one way sign to the little parking lot and went the next entrance in once it saw. I’m going to drive this more through the night, and then will take it out during rush hour a lot. Huge shoutout to Tesla AI teams for getting these releases out so quickly. They’re making magic happen. More to come, but I’m loving what I’m seeing!

My Thoughts on R2 after my time with it! Short review! First, Rivian completely nailed this thing. I love the positioning of the driver seats. That long front nose gives a nice commanding feel. They will sell each and every one of these! Driving impression/suspension: 9/10 I felt the vehicle has good build quality. It felt *tight* and secure. Power delivery was smooth and crisp in all-purpose. Sport mode fella unlocked and ready for all the fun things. Power is rapid and consistent with a full power moment around 35-40mph, all the power is there. There is a good amount of nose rise during a hard acceleration. But I do feel the suspension was working well to control this. Remember this isn’t an air suspension. It’s a coil suspension. There is a difference between the suspension setting soft was SOFT. Firm was stiff but not overly stiff. It didn’t have that bouncing effect that some vehicles can have when going into firm suspension. Moderate was a good balance. I wish it could be more adaptive in moderate but it’s very very good. Turn in was good, and the turning radius was excellent. Switching from D to R for a 3-point turn was smooth and quick, no jerkiness. Very good control over entrance to parking lots. Stable. Lastly, it feels like the small delay some R1 have in throttle is gone with R2. Software: 8/10 This is where you guys know I am hard on them on. Because I want the best they can give. Rivian OS2.0 is a HUGE upgrade over R1. In all cases. Responsiveness, touch input, speed, app switching, keyboard responsiveness, etc., it is a huge difference. I love the new “fish stick” bar. And settings being available with one tap and being app-dependent first is fantastic. Well done Wassym Bensaid, the halo are great. The only thing about them is while driving, it’s hard to get a direct click, especially when trying to use it to switch drive modes where you have to push towards you. The halo likes the spin/move, but I think I just need to get used to it. Living with it would for sure help with that. I’m really hoping they fully unlock customization for them. You can end up with 8 different characters you could adjust. I really like having the driver display. But driving with it, you can notice how much smaller it is compared to R1. It’s no deal breaker, but it’s noticeable. Cameras felt snapper and of higher quality over Gen 2 R1. The turn signal sounds is new I like it as well as the forward and Evers noise it makes. Think Tesla sound when shifting. Audio: Now I’ve experienced R2 3x now. With 2 times with audio. The audio was significantly better than when I got to sit it in, in Miami for a block party. It’s about as good as R1 is now. There did feel like a sub was there. That’s great. I used my Apple Music account so I could listen to the song I love. And it was great. Not perfect but good enough. Long as it’s comparable to R1, it’s okay. Cabin: It was very well appointed. I actually found it sufficiently quiet. 🤫 I think for sure it’s quieter than my R1T without question. The HVAC system design (air vent) I like better than R1. I feel like the HVAC system now can blow the air on better than trying to. I need more time to test preconditioning because that’s where I’ve seen most of the issues with my R1 vehicles. Tons of space, easy to drop the seats, it’s flat, and nice under-floor space. The 1-touch drop for all windows was excellent. Overall: I think this is the Rivian everyone has been waiting for. This will be a fantastic one-car solution for so many families. There is storage for days, off-road abilities a Model Y can’t even think of doing, but the UHF needs to improve quicker than it currently is because that is really becoming a buying decision for people. Tim and I can’t wait to take delivery of our R2 Rivian; we are ready! Feel free to ask me anything about the R2! I’ll do my best to answer it or get you the answer. It’s a 10/10 for so many people.
