It’s election season here in the US and I’ve not heard a single candidate say they will reign in or eliminate robo calls. Seems like a winning issue to me. What a drag on our quality of life!

Not all hunting is bad. In many cases it’s essential for effective wildlife management. It’s necessary, even if I decline to participate in it.
But trophy hunting, killing, endangered or threatened species for ego and entertainment, is an abomination and it needs to be banned.

"Empathy thrives in visual restraint. When a photograph tells the viewer exactly what to feel through overwrought melodrama, it induces fatigue rather than empathy. Resonance happens in the margins."

Photo gear matters less than most people think but it still matters. If a wedding photographer showed up to your event with an cardboard oatmeal bin with a pinhole, you should be (rightfully) concerned.
