Dammit Canon!

As Canon turns its attention to growing its mirrorless camera market share, the company is reportedly sunsetting some of its popular DSLR lines such as the high-megapixel 5DS and 5DS R. And the latest word is that the popular 7D line has also come to an abrupt end.

Abandoning a great line of cameras. Practically every photo I ever posted here was shot on a 7d or 7d II. Dozens of videos on YT.

Because White Supremacism and Fascism have been mainstreamed into being seen as mere points along the political spectrum instead of as something anathema to everything we stand for.

My first grown-up camera was a Canonflex R, bought used in 1962. Still have it, and it will work after a CLA. Canon was cool enough to maintain direct backwards-compatibility on the lens mounts all the way through the FDs used on A-1 and F-1 of the 1980s. Still can fit my lenses to a mirrorless with adaptors, if I ever go back to shooting.

The GOP is going to work hard to get him elected nonetheless, I come to realize that they will stick with the sickest, most corrupt bastards in the world if it helps them pack SCOTUS and the lower courts for coming decades.

I guess that is their long-term plan to cling to power once demographics starts to overcome gerrymandering and voter suppression.

I think the long-term plan for a lot of them is to amass money and retire before the shit really starts hitting the fan. The younger ones who are going to get stuck think they are getting on the gravy train and are really suckers or desperate to hold onto the white male power shtick.

The true blight are the tens of millions of Americans who still support him. If Trump leaves before his term is up, we still have Pence, whose only saving grace is that he is far more polite than Trump, but his policies would be just as toxic to our future as those of Trump.

Then again, I’ve been quite happy with the 60D output, and my new smartphone (Pixel 3aXL) takes amazing photos, especially portraits and low light situations, which is something I really need to work on - I do much better on landscapes and macro shots with the 60D.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Last night’s storms here were not nearly as bad as the night before - when there were multiple confirmed tornadoes in NJ. We have one more day of this weather before it clears out.

If only we could remove Trump as easily. Trump’s up and all like Russia interfered in our elections, but I didn’t conspire with them.

Ummm… that’s a huge concession on his part. It’s a recognition that he benefited from the interference, though he’s claiming he didn’t do anything wrong. That too is bulkshit, considering he personally appealed to Russia to hack Clinton, his campaign met with Russian foreign agents in the Trump tower meeting, and even to this day, his admin does nothing to secure our election systems to prevent Russia from interfering.

Trump personally benefited from Russian interference. And his failure to act is another charge that could be filed for his failure to uphold his oath of office.

All the while, Democratic party leaders are still not recognizing the need to impeach and to kick that process off. Make the GOP account for Trump’s criminality. Let the hearings and investigations go into high gear. Let the GOP caterwaul about all this while there’s a steady drumbeat of Trump obstructing on event X, Y, and Z.

Get Mueller in to read each page and verse for Congress. It’d be riveting summer television and the nightly news would lead with that testimony for weeks on end. Subpoena and force testimony from Hope Hicks and all the rest - and we know that the 5A will get heavy rotation because they all know they engaged in criminal acts.

Pelosi thinks that dragging this out is a better strategy? That the current pace of hearings is sufficient? That getting under Trump’s skin is sufficient? That elections will solve the problem?

No. No. No. No. No.

Trump’s counting on Russia to interfere in our elections again, and that he’d be the beneficiary of that interference. He’s failing to secure election systems. That’s on him. That’s why Pelosi and Democrats better get a backbone and start impeachment.

Why? Because had any Democrat done 1/100 of what Trump did as cataloged in the Mueller Report, the GOP would already be on the vote to remove from office and Graham would be leading that charge.

Israel: hold my Gold Star…. we’re going into new elections and no one has a clue what they’re doing.

Trumpworld, we’ll send Jared to conduct peace negotiations.

Israel: ?????
Palestinians: *snicker* you’re kidding… right? You mean they are actually sending Jared to negotiate when there’s no government in Israel and Bibi has no mandate to do anything and doesn’t have the numbers to form a government.

Trumpworld: we’ll start headlong into a conflict with Iran.
Iran: WTF, we’re complying with the JCPOA; the US is the one who stormed off and gives us the pretext to stop complying and start building nukes like North Korea.

Trumpworld: hey Jong Un, can we get another photo op?
North Korea: No; and we’re not giving up our nukes. We’re accelerating our weapons development and starting up our missile tests.
Trumpworld: we’ll just ignore that, and can I please have another summit photo op?
North Korea: No. Here, have a missile launch for your consolation.

Trumpworld: we’re kicking ass on the trade war.
China: have another round of tariffs that’ll put your farmers out of business and hike costs to all Americans by hundreds of dollars for your troubles.
Trumpworld: this is going swell. We’re beating China at its own game and our debt is … *checks notes* going up.

Putin: things are going as I ordained. They couldn’t be better for us to exploit the chaos. 2020 is shaping up to be another year of Russian psyops/misinformation to exploit the chaos campaign they initiated going into 2016.

The Access Hollywood tape didn’t move the needle for the GOP. They voted for Trump anyways. The bankruptcies and business failures didn’t change the GOP mind.

They were all in on Trump. They still are.

What will it take to break the GOP? Beating them at the state and local level - and gaining majorities in the Senate and winning back legislatures across the nation.

The GOP stands for depriving women of their rights, rolling back civil and voting rights, and shifting the burdens from the rich on to those who can least endure them.

We see that everywhere the GOP are in power. The only solution is to beat back the GOP horde.

Well, I guess my next camera after my 60D will be a mirrorless, unless I can find a gently used 1D or 5D kit.

Then again, I’ve been quite happy with the 60D output, and my new smartphone (Pixel 3aXL) takes amazing photos, especially portraits and low light situations, which is something I really need to work on - I do much better on landscapes and macro shots with the 60D.

Mirrorless is fine. I’ve been on micro-4/3 for years and the lack of a mirror is not really a big deal - just one less thing to go wrong. There will be adapters so all your glass will continue to work, especially given how burned Canon was by the FD to EF conversion. Personally I’ll stick with the rangefinder styled Olympus PEN cameras - I don’t do serious telephotos or sports so they’ll continue to work fine for me. I’ve got a 35/e, 50/e, 100/e primes and a couple of zooms that will be just fine. Considering the work you’ve done in the past, I seriously doubt the toolkit will make as significant an impact as the opportunities you or RWC find.

And now Surprise, Surprise, Surprise…

A popular women’s health and fertility app sows doubt about birth control, features claims from medical advisers who are not licensed to practice in the US, and is funded and led by anti-abortion, anti-gay Catholic campaigners, a Guardian investigation has found.

The Femm app, which collects personal information about sex and menstruation from users, has been downloaded more than 400,000 times since its launch in 2015, according to developers. It has users in the US, the EU, Africa and Latin America, its operating company claims.

Two of the app’s medical advisers are not licensed to practice in the US and are also closely tied to a Catholic university in Santiago, Chile, where access to abortion remains severely restricted.

Femm receives much of its income from private donors including the Chiaroscuro Foundation, a charity backed almost exclusively by Sean Fieler, a wealthy Catholic hedge-funder based in New York.

Deceased G.O.P. Strategist’s Hard Drives Reveal New Details on the Census Citizenship Question

Thomas B. Hofeller achieved near-mythic status in the Republican Party as the Michelangelo of gerrymandering, the architect of partisan political maps that cemented the party’s dominance across the country.

But after he died last summer, his estranged daughter discovered hard drives in her father’s home that revealed something else: Mr. Hofeller had played a crucial role in the Trump administration’s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

History note: Contrary to local propaganda, the Lubbock area was not a prairie before German settlers and steel plows arrived in the late 19th century. It was a dryland scrub forest of mesquite and similar thorny growths and virtually impassable to horses and bison alike. Except for the Yellowhouse watercourse, the native tribes practically ignored it.

He’s not going to be prosecuted for any of his crimes once he leaves office for the same reason Dubya and his cohorts never faced legal consequences for theirs, and that’s the precedent Ford set that once a president is gone it’s better for the nation to “move on.” Whichever Dem takes office will choose not to prosecute Trump because they know they will face a Class 5 Political Shitstorm for it.

But even here in Czech Republic, it’s still considered the default societal model, though things are definitely changing. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for a young Czech couple to have a stay-at-home mom while pops goes out to work and brings home the bacon.

He’s not going to be prosecuted for any of his crimes once he leaves office for the same reason Dubya and his cohorts never faced legal consequences for theirs, and that’s the precedent Ford set that once a president is gone it’s better for the nation to “move on.” Whichever Dem takes office will choose not to prosecute Trump because they know they will face a Class 5 Political Shitstorm for it. So they will harumph that “It’s over, let’s move on” and that will be that, the precedent will be set that leaving office grants automatic immunity from crimes committed in office.

the next president isn’t going to have a damned thing to do with it. the sdny has sealed indictments waiting for Trump to exit office. there will be new federal prosecutors looking to make their bones who will indict him as well.

I admit this is something I am very afraid of. A lot of people in red states worked their asses off for the blue wave, and now we are being shushed and told to defer to leadership that we put there to do something right now.

Pelosi is too damned worried about the Republican base. She needs to start worrying about her own base, because if they see a San Francisco elite telling them to be patient as the last abortion clinic in Missouri closes, and as Trump ignores every document demand and tells his people to not show up after subpoenas, and as she passes “bread and butter” bills that are destined to die in the Senate while not using the real power we gave her to use and hold Trump accountable….she will guarantee that House disaster she is so afraid of precipitating.

re: #162 Targetpractice

I’d disagree with this.

There are so many potential avenues to prosecute Trump - on both state and federal grounds - for crimes that aren’t limited by the statute of limitations - that he’s going to be facing the legal consequences for a long time after he leaves office.

Obstruction of justice and money laundering are just the tip of the iceberg. And prosecutors should hold him accountable for those crimes. The money laundering predates his being president. His other financial crimes also predate being in the WH. Being president can’t and shouldn’t be a stay out of jail card. The next president needs to remind everyone of the consequences of breaking the law.

I’m so f-n sorry that the political process of impeachment doesn’t move as fast as the judicial process, but it doesn’t. With the will to impeach among the public under water, and the Democrats not in control of the Senate, they are going to have to make a huge case that it needs to be done, or guess what, Trump will not be held accountable.

There was no will to impeach Nixon either, and he was FAR more popular than Trump ever had been. The Republicans in the Senate were not going to budge.

The Dems and Jaworski did their damned jobs, held the hearings and made the case in public. Nixon’s popularity collapsed. He was forced out.

So maybe the Senate this time would whiff on the whole thing. That is not on the House. They have a constitutionally mandated duty to fulfill against a lawless POTUS and there is no political inconvenience exception.

[Yang] became a GOP donor in the 2016 election cycle and opened a consulting company that promised Chinese businesspeople the chance to attend events at Mar-a-Lago and gain access to Trump and his inner circle.

“Some of those events were campaign fundraisers that required guests to buy tickets for entry, payments that are considered political contributions. Foreign nationals are prohibited from donating to U.S. political campaigns.”

I’m not convinced she’s ignoring anything. Instead I think she’s incredibly mindful of how the Democratic House majority’s current legal arguments play before the courts, so that they can secure all the information and testimony they’re going to need for the next phase. Right now she feels a need to look reasonable in front of the third branch of government in comparison to Trump’s total disrespect for constitutional checks and balances.

There is some serious wingnuttery in conservative Catholic circles emanating from First Things.

Bill Kristol…

This guy…Sohrab Ahmari…seems to be a far right wing Catholic Robespierre and he thinks it’s time to start doing something about the non virtuous people like me.

Palm Beach could rename the street where Mar a Lago is located John McCain way. Bedminster could do the same for the street location of Trump’s resort there.

And NYC could rename 5th Avenue Barack Obama Way….

Trump is that petty and vain that he will never ever have any public buildings, streets, structures, or boats named after him…

Except maybe a garbage scow.

Or the Trump wing of Florence ADX or Leavenworth.

Playing for the camera, June 21, 1950

Inventorying my personal photos and ran across this, which I hadn’t seen in probably 50 years. This is me taking what my mother swore were my first steps, on my first birthday no less. Our neighbor Lois was in the yard with her camera when my mom got out of the car with me. Lois said, “Let’s see if he’ll walk.”
Mom said, “Oh no, I don’t think he will.”
Lois said, “Just set him down there, I bet he’ll walk.”
She did, I toddled a couple of steps and sat down. Lois snapped the picture on the first step.

re: #206 Belafon

And these are the people that aren’t seeing that Trump obstructed justice. These are the people that will see an impeachment through the lense of the last one. And they’re the people that can decide that a president can be picked on and vote for him just because of that.

Even “obstruction of justice “ has no meaning. Needs to be “ordered witnesses to lie “ tried to bribe witness with pardon for their crimes” “threatened witnesses who were called to testify “.

re: #171 Scottish Dragon

I admit this is something I am very afraid of. A lot of people in red states worked their asses off for the blue wave, and now we are being shushed and told to defer to leadership that we put there to do something right now.

Pelosi is too damned worried about the Republican base. She needs to start worrying about her own base, because if they see a San Francisco elite telling them to be patient as the last abortion clinic in Missouri closes, and as Trump ignores every document demand and tells his people to not show up after subpoenas, and as she passes “bread and butter” bills that are destined to die in the Senate while not using the real power we gave her to use and hold Trump accountable….she will guarantee that House disaster she is so afraid of precipitating. Those red state dems will not show up again to be treated like children.

[Embedded content]

On the “San Francisco elite” bullshit, I say bullshit. I live here, and we want to see him impeached as much as anyone. But if you want to drive a wedge between us, by all means keep peddling it.

On impeachment in general, I’m sick of pointing out that we’re moving steadily in that direction (one reason you haven’t seen much action this week is that the House is not in session — you did know that, right?), so I’m not going to point to Nadler’s latest word on it yet again. Or note that there is not yet enough support on either side to make for successful action, but we’re watching it build day by day (thank you, Nancy). Or remind us all AGAIN that you need a full case, and this is too important to rush.

Oh, and I hope never to drive a car with you in the back seat.
