Did not know these existed (was looking for an M42-to-EF adapter); now that I know, it's kind of a must-have... Lens hood has a hidden mirror, looks like a zoom. "Perfect for candids" they say - yeah, if the person doesn't know the lens is pointed right at them (you spin it to look different directions, just like Spy v. Spy in Mad mag)!

[Thread] State by State Pending and Recently Passed #AntiProtestLaws: #Arizona

HB 2880: #Banning #protest encampments on campus

Would bar protest encampments on the campuses of state colleges and universities without prior authorization. Under the bill, individuals or groups that establish an unauthorized “encampment” would no longer be lawfully present on campus for the purpose of speech protections under Arizona law; they would be criminally liable to prosecution for trespass and damaging public property; and they would be liable for “direct and indirect costs” of any damage “that resulted from the individual’s intentional or negligent conduct relating” to the encampment. The bill defines “#encampment” as “temporary shelter” installed on campus and used to stay overnight or “for a prolonged period of time.” The bill would require colleges and universities to order individuals to dismantle and vacate unauthorized encampments; if the individuals refuse to comply, the institution would be required to take disciplinary action and report the individuals to local law enforcement for trespassing. The bill's sponsor said that it was motivated by #ProPalestine protests on college campuses.

Full text of bill here: https://apps.azleg.gov/BillStatus/BillOverview/83353

Status: ENACTED!

Introduced 12 Feb 2025; Approved by House 3 March 2025

Issue(s): Campus Protests, #Trespass, Camping

HB 2007: Harsh penalties for protesters who conceal their identity

**Note: HB 2007 was signed into law following amendments that removed the most restrictive provisions.** As originally introduced in the House, the bill made it a felony to wear any kind of #disguise at a protest. The introduced bill broadly prohibited disguises, "whether partial or complete," that an individual wore at a protest, political event, or any other public event in order "to evade or escape discovery, recognition or identification." Under the introduced bill, police would have had authority to detain any individual wearing a disguise in order to verify his or her identity and determine if the person had committed a crime; violation of the disguise ban would have been a Class 6 felony, subject to one year in prison. The sponsor of the bill said it was inspired by clashes between police and protesters, some of whom were masked, outside a 2017 rally for President #Trump. Following widespread criticism, the bill was comprehensively revised to a single provision that would allow courts to consider it an aggravating factor, for sentencing purposes, if an individual wore a #mask or other disguise to hide their face while committing a criminal offense.

Full bill text here: https://apps.azleg.gov/BillStatus/BillOverview/69619

Status: enacted with improvements

Introduced 21 Nov 2017; Governor Ducey signed it 23 March 2018 but the most problematic provisions were defeated.

This is a concept for Dela and her masked version, which was the same person from my last post. I just made some tweaks to her design.

A quotation from The Bible

Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves. You will know them by what they do. Thorn bushes do not bear grapes, and briers do not bear figs. A healthy tree bears good fruit, but a poor tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a poor tree cannot bear good fruit. And any tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire. So then, you will know the false prophets by what they do.
 
[Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν ψευδοπροφητῶν, οἵτινες ἔρχονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν ἐνδύμασιν προβάτων, ἔσωθεν δέ εἰσιν λύκοι ἅρπαγες. ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς. μήτι συλλέγουσιν ἀπὸ ἀκανθῶν σταφυλὰς ἢ ἀπὸ τριβόλων σῦκα; οὕτως πᾶν δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖ, τὸ δὲ σαπρὸν δένδρον καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖ. οὐ δύναται δένδρον ἀγαθὸν καρποὺς πονηροὺς ποιεῖν οὐδὲ δένδρον σαπρὸν καρποὺς καλοὺς ποιεῖν. πᾶν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται. ἄρα γε ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγνώσεσθε αὐτούς.]

Cuttlefish adjust their shape and color to suit conditions when seeking prey, study shows

A small team of marine biologists at the University of Bristol, in the U.K., working with a colleague from the Regional Research and Innovation Agency of West Papua, Indonesia, has found that wild broadclub cuttlefish adapt their body shape and color in certain ways, depending on circumstances, to hide from unsuspecting prey.

Whatever works...🙂 Fascinating creatures!

Three Toddlers in a Trench Coat

(Lyrics By Loupy and me. Inspired by Three Kobolds in a Trenchcoat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsLN542nvGg)

[Verse 1]
The dinner party was long, they're sweet tooths took a troll
Bedtime was close, skipping dessert wasn’t going to roll
Fiona has an idea to make them discreet and tall
And it was to sneak to the cake as three toddlers in a trench coat

[Chorus]
Snow on the bottom, addicted to socks is he
Loupy’s in the middle, carrying a padded puppy
Fiona’s on top pretending to not be, three toddlers in a trench coat

[Verse 2]
The little ones sneaked out the opened door
And a crinkling gentleman entered, his footing wobbly and unsure
A puppyish, girly voice greeted surprised guests, while his clothing dragged on the floor
He was no man at all; he was three toddlers in a trench coat

[Chorus]
Snow on the bottom, addicted to socks is he
Loupy’s in the middle, carrying a padded puppy
Fiona’s on top pretending to not be three toddlers in a trench coat

[Verse 3]
Having escaped the kid’s table, the cake was nearly at hand
But suddenly, a twist and they couldn’t anymore stand
Snow had seen a clothing hamper and now the plan’s at end
The stranger tripped and toppled, landing on their rear end

[Chorus]
Snow on the bottom, addicted to socks is he
Loupy’s in the middle, carrying a padded puppy
Fiona’s on top pretending to not be three toddlers in a trench coat

[Verse 3]
From the crumple trench coat the three toddlers spang
They needed to get out of sight before their caretakers got paddles to their hand
All the guests chuckled at the cute cubs as they fled
For everyone could see they were three toddlers in a trench coat

[Chorus 2]
Snow on the bottom, hid in the laundry basket did he
Loupy’s in the middle, hid behind a plant like it was a tree
Fiona’s on top, tired walking away pretending like there was nothing to see

[Verse 3]
Three little cubs did lay over laps
As paddles sounded on their butts making pap, pap's
Then they were sent to bed with no cake to be had
But the little ones had one more plan to not be sad ...

[Chorus 3]
Snow on the bottom, blindfolded no socks to see
Loupy’s in the middle, carrying a paddled puppy
Fiona’s on top pretending to not be three toddlers in a fur coat
