“Did You Listen to This?” part IV: Just now, I released my song “Time Out” (from the album “Make Me Do”) in a freshly mixed version. It is to remind us how important it is to relax, do nothing, watch the wandering clouds, simply exist in the Here and Now.

Next read: "The Right To Be Lazy and other writings", Paul LaFargue. Probably will follow that with some SF. Recommendations welcome!

Driver of this 4x4 felt it was acceptable to park outside cafe, in front of people and leave engine running while they ordered takeaway coffees.

Politely asked them to turn it off next time.

Interesting head space to have ‘save ledge’ beach stickers but think a diesel puking fumes at people for 5 minutes is ok.

Please be careful to distinguish between #walrusing and #sealioning: sealioning is a form of trolling, which walruses are too busy flopping about to ever do; while walrusing is #idling with flippers and tusks.

Be a #walrus. Walruses need no explanation.

#Bellingen: Trucks rumble down the main drag loaded with cattle and forest remains. SUV owners idle while touching up their phones. Shop owners, cafes and their customers seem to suffer from smell blindness, (nosmia) as It stinks of toxic #fossilfuel and dung.

I'm watching programming language ranking videos on YouTube but will keep programming in Lisp or Scheme.

Do motorists know how bad it is for everyone's health to sit in a car with the engine running (#idling)? Whose responsibility is it to tell them? #AirPollution #NO2idling https://twitter.com/TilbrookDaniela/status/1238498006313455616

To protect their kids, mums are confronting motorists asking them to switch off their engines. Please share this petition for new law & enforcement so council officers can do their job and reduce #airpollution from vehicle #idling. 👉🏽 https://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-stop-vehicles-idling-near-babies-and-children-56729f0f-30a5-4410-8dce-677ac770fb82 #NO2idling #SchoolRun https://twitter.com/TilbrookDaniela/status/1238049358983151616

@BBCNews@twitter.com Fantastic news! Babies in buggies & young children will no longer be forced to breathe the concentrated exhaust from vehicles parked on the pavement with their engines running (#idling). We also need new idling law & enforcement. #NO2idling Petition here: https://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-stop-vehicles-idling-near-babies-and-children-56729f0f-30a5-4410-8dce-677ac770fb82

@Transcendental1@twitter.com @sianberry@twitter.com When I say declare war on #idling, I mean a #Mayor who will ensure local authorities warn first time offenders but issue instant fines to drivers who repeatedly park vehicles and leave their engines running. #airpollution #climateaction

Are you sure @sianberry@twitter.com is up for that?
