Are you serious? O.S.I.R.

-- the mind is leaking into the void and perhaps into yours? As individual humans
we have the capacity to share thoughts and realizations without the noise and
movement generally associated with communication. The brain works both as a
broadcaster and receiver, at least on a subliminal level. Bringing this to a conscious
awareness uses unique perceptive skills.

Only caught a smidgen of last night's clown show
It is certainly debatable whether either clown is
qualified to run the show. The post-game observations
by Stein were interesting. She at least spoke of policies.
What's up in your neighborhood?

Morning, Q
Loved the Bill Domonkos art. Thanks for the link.
Since I don't waste my time voting for politicians, I don't waste my time listening to them shoveling shit.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
Yeah, that's fun animation

like you, the political sideshow holds little interest here
but the jugglers must keep-up the act
cheers

Good morning...
It is 9/11 and no comment on the anniversary in the MSM...just the debate distraction. You posted a link about 9/11 yesterday with most of the clips deleted by YT/google.
Critical analysis is NOT allowed. There's been many groups who question the narrative from engineers, architects, pilots, and a variety of analysts. To my mind 9/11 was an inside job involving the CIA, FBI,the Saudis, and the Israelis...at a minimum. The big con put us on the path of permanent war both abroad and at home. What a power grab.
I thought this was interesting. Think it will help Trump?
Well, y'all have a good day. I've already sowed winter ryegrass seed this AM in hope of some rain from Hurricane Francine. Thanks for the OT!

That's weird

how the links were disappeared on the lawyers committee site
4 are still up, but 4 are dead. Disinformation management?
Hope you get some much needed rains from Francine.
Thanks for swinging by.

Well, it is Nova H1 earrings
for the win...
Reposted from yesterday's open thread, simply because I find it amusing as hell.

The Earrings strike back... I'm just watching how frantically all the dem-leaning media outlets are trying to debunk this conspiracy theory- their fingers are just a blur over their keyboards, I'd imagine. Let's face it, there is no way that she is capable of holding it together without someone feeding her her lines.
This will be a lot of fun to watch play out. And Stein is still getting my vote...
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
I think you are intoning

the camel was being fed her lines?
Not surprising.
both of your links are 404
today. but yesterday's links still work
Anyway, thanks!

Paste problem,
now corrected. The links here should work now. I'm just laughing my ass off... The dems are just incompetent enough that they would believe that this little trick would sail by, unnoticed. Oops.
The comparison picture came from the freakin' Hindustan Times- so this little imbroglio has already gone planetary. If it is true, she deserves the beatings her poll numbers will take. And it it isn't, she still deserves the beatings her poll numbers will take. An October Surprise in September...
I really needed this smile today.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
since I didn't post my reply until this morning, I'll repeat it
here
If those suspicions are true, then Ms. Harris
was calmly and brazenly violating the rules for her personal benefit, which is classic "American Exceptionalism", making her the quintessential US presidential candidate.

Bravo, wonderful annotated picture of the towers.
Thanks.

Hola, Cap'n q. Wonderful animated art, as well as the
still you opened with.
THIS is the scariest thing I have read in weeks:
Imagine all that babble, drivel and illogic flooding one's mind 24-7. It must have, at a minimum, some low level stupifying and stupidifying effect on each and every one of us. GAAAH!

just a little observation which came up the other day
it was a part of a larger essay, but pared it down a bit
think they are trying to blame stupefaction on long covid?
thanks for adding to the content!

Years ago on XM
....the Sirius stars channel, DeePak Chopra had a show. I didn't particularly like his political views when he expressed them, but he would occasionally have one or another of the so called Copenhagen School on his program. They would sometimes discuss quantum physics and consciousness. Not sure what to conclude about it, but I found it helped to pass the time on the road. Sometimes I would even listen to the replays. As the Zen principle goes if you try to put it in words it doesn't work. I had a friend in college who used to joke about the Eastern influence on "counter culture thought" and sometimes I would laugh so hard when he said, "don't go all mystical on me."
Enjoyed this video, only 4 minutes:
Thanks for the OT QMS. Enjoyed the artwork and videos.

Interesting clip

the interconnectedness of all things is easy to grasp
co-dependency and the tension between is a bit more
subtle. I tend to prefer the wave theories.
Thanks for adding this thought provoking presentation.

Thanks, love the clip and the information.

Interesting comment with regards to the Sky News propagada.
The rest of the tweet:
This is a ruse
If Iran is sending ballistic missles to Russia then Biden can give Ukraine permission to hit deeper into Russia. It’s already been decided so this is just cover.

Good afternoon, QMS, et al!
Loved the art and music!
Work is extremely intense this week. Seems there is some extremely urgent aspect of every damn case I have on the books.
Even deed preparation has some emergency aspect.
Oh, well, it pays the bills and pays for some fun.
I am gonna get some special earrings, channel in someone who can tell me what to say in final argument so I won't have to prepare, and can spend more time giggling and cackling.
Thanks for the OT, dear friend!

Took Nikko to dog training today
He was very excited and spent a lot of time barking, as Finnish Spitzes will do. It sounded better than the little pieces I heard of the debate
As for earrings and headphones. I would not be surprised, at all. They gotta make sure Harris says more than her usual drivel.
