Every GOP official, especially party leaders like Kevin McCarthy, should be asked, wherever they go, whenever they appear, whether they condemn Trump’s call for termination of “all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution” so that Trump can now be declared the winner.
They must utterly reject and walk away from this seditious, authoritarian madman. Now.
@Wildheart_Baby I have a pair of conduction-speakers which are bluetooth. pressing them into your skull is Amazing.
one into the forehead is good, but best placement found has been just below/behind each ear for sweet, sweet stereo.
not practical for roaming around (their main use is in the lad's carseat so he can have his own tunes on) but not massively $$$

the tory insistence on blaming every last one of their fuck ups on putin hits differently when you remember just how much money and favours they've taken from russian oligarchs

Mr KJC: Have you noticed there aren't any famous female mime artists?
Me:
Mr KJC: They're probably stopped by a glass ceiling.

The GOP is obsessed with genitalia. What kind people using bathrooms have, whether they should blast their own with light, and what the president’s son’s look like.

Did you know you can tell the age of a fake Christmas tree by counting the rings of tape?

UK politics, covid
Matt Hancock's out there blaming infected care workers for bringing covid into care homes rather than HIS OWN policy for discharging patients into homes. But even if we pretend it's true for a moment, that still makes these deaths entirely the fault of him and government. Sick workers should never be forced into going to work while sick, but they are due to dismal sick pay, shit bosses and chronic understaffing.

UK Politics. Strikes.

Because that's the Government's job, obviously.
@eclectech we know that pain...
@MaryH has/had a favourite yellow mug. fortunately still popping up on the 'bay from time to time. original broke, I found a replacement. replacement broke, I found another replacement - and a stunt-double this time. the spare is hiding on top of a kitchen cupboard now, out of the reach of humans :)

"Jamie, I am not answering any more maths questions until you've been to the loo and washed your hands."
Honestly, I'm in bed, not dressed yet, and still have half a cup of tea. This is not the time for multiplication past 12s.
@SimonPegg what is the lid from? looks too big for the cheese-killing pot
@Hinterlands if you're sticking to no illumination even outside the exposure, take a small mirror and try to moon-bounce to your camera while it's mounted on a target-tree. the contrast helps with focus nicely. alternatively you're at hyperfocal calculations and pacing - go wide or go far

The woods at night.
Maybe...a. new project. This was my effort at shooting at night with no illumination other than moonlight - no torches, flash or street lighting at all.
I love the blue light. I hate the fact that focusing, even in manual, is hard. This was shot at 800iso, aperture at 6 and the shutter was open for 2 minutes. Anyone with any ideas as to different settings holler.

@Hinterlands I take a torch for focus - shine it on your 'main' tree and let autofocus do its thing. then turn off autofocus. also check your widest portrait lenses, f4 can be pretty darned sharp on them and save you a minute of shivering and trying not to jog the tripod. my better metering is "boost iso to stupid-grainy high, meter centre-frame, run the numbers and drop iso to lose grain" - olde Sony's max 30s shutter without cable release = stopwatching it by eye :(
