moresci.sale/@birds/1131473539… birds@moresci.sale - Mountain Bamboo-Partridge

An intricately patterned partridge of various scrubby habitats; not restricted to bamboo thickets. Body is brown with black spots and gray streaks all over. Face is paler with a thick black line through the eye. Usually seen singly or in pairs. Often forages under cover but will venture out into the open; less tied to extensively thick cover than many small partridges. Song is a loud clattering series of high squealing notes, often initiated by a hoarse, throaty shriek.

Captured with the Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Digaron-SW lens (@ f/8), Phase One IQ4-150 back (@ ISO 50, 1/30 sec), vertically shifted 15mm.

The glass curtain and reflection reminded me of Saul Bass's iconic title sequence for North By Northwest (imitated in Mad Men), though this is across town. The film also used a somewhat different perspective, looking downward, and at a sharper angle. Here, our focus is on the impressionistically rendered Times Square skyline rather than the street below.

The Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 is unusual for a larger-format lens in that it has a floating internal element that has to move as it's focused. This means it has to be focused with a helical ring (like an SLR lens) that moves both the focus and the internal element, rather than simply by moving it back and forth with a bellows. This makes the lens big, heavy, and cumbersome (not to mention spendy), but it's an extremely sharp design.

Den norska politikern, stortingsledamoten och partiledaren för Sosialistisk venstreparti 1975–1976, har avlidit 96 år gammal. Inte minst hennes arbete kring manliga härskartekniker har blivit legendariskt. arbetaren.se/2024/09/16/hon-sm…

Sadly, none of the two will happen, because those guys are already too well entrenched in politics.

🤡 Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'. Oh, this is like 1984, but it gets worse for all of us and even nobel goals for billionaire psychopaths.

As I recall, he wanted to run a database with information on every person in the US for the government and use it to control their lives ( probably termed as determining access to things like services, travel, and employment )



Le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer, fait scandale dans son parti (les travaillistes) en estimant l’Italie de la néo-fasciste Meloni a fait des "progrès remarquables" dans la lutte contre l’immigration clandestine. La gauche d'Outre-Manche devrait nous contacter, on a une certaine expérience en matière de trahison à gauche... Starmer soutient aussi Netanyahou contre la CPI. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/s…

Wow, we're still not over @fediforum

It's truly amazing to bring some of the most exciting developments on the Fediverse together for a few days and see what everyone is up to. No other network has such a vibrant, committed, and supportive community.

The first graders who survived the school shooting at #SandyHook are now old enough to vote in their first presidential election.

Many are supporting Vice President #Harris.

"It's no-brainer for me," says survivor Lilly Wasilnak, 18.

"I'm casting a vote for the 26 who can't."
