Roady!
The trick, my friend is to remember that a 24/7 news cycle is harmful to societies.
And then, on top of that, is to carefully construct a hot air balloon perspective of IT ALL.
And then, to get out and vote your conscience.
Easy Peasy, rice and cheesy!

I subscribed to that channel, Base.

And then some.

we're all watching this atm, @wax.. wholesome stuff : )

They certainly don’t inspire confidence and neither do mail-in ballots/drop boxes.

For those who haven’t already seen it Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary 2000 mules is worth watching - https://m.imdb.com/title/tt18924506/

Op ed from today's TFP.

"At The Washington Post, the furor among its journalists over Bezos’s squashing the Harris endorsement is not because their “independent journalism” is being harmed. It’s because, like most of their brethren in the mainstream media, they think it’s imperative for Harris to win. According to the Free Beacon, during a heated meeting with editorial page editor David Shipley, one editor blurted out: “One thing that can’t happen in this country is for Trump to get another four years.”

"But half the country wants Donald Trump for another four years. Whether he wins or loses, half of America is voting for him. So isn’t it strange that the institutions that talk the most about diversity and inclusion can’t stomach those whose views align with half of Americans?

"We flipped this dynamic on its head. At The Free Press, it’s okay to be liberal or conservative or politically nonbinary.

"That’s because the fundamental value we share—with each other and with our readers—is a commitment to seeking and telling the truth, which allows us to disagree without disrespecting one another. We share an understanding that the truth isn’t something you bring back like a moon rock and put behind glass, but that the best answers you can get under changing circumstances in an ever-shifting world are always subject to revision.

"We share the view that politics need not be a team sport. We share the view that our vocation is not about ushering readers to a political conclusion, but to tell stories that reflect the complicated nature of issues so often presented as simple and settled. If we knew in advance who—or what—was deplorable, we wouldn’t need journalism.

"Most importantly, all of us believe that there is not an “enemy within” among our fellow Americans, nor do we believe in referring to any of them as “garbage.” And we are grateful for our privilege—one beautifully expressed by my Russia-born colleague Tanya Lukyanova, who became an American citizen a few months ago and will vote this year in a free and fair election for the very first time: “When I step into the voting booth I’ll think about how lucky I am to be here, where my vote is not just an act of resistance, but a genuine opportunity to make a choice.”

Great sentiments there and I've seen some impressive interviews done by Bari.

I'm repeating it all, because Stu has a masterful use of how to quote! A very long time ago I was taught that you put the quotation marks at the start of each quoted paragraph, but only close them at the very end of the whole quote. (Notwithstanding Shipley's words in the first paragraph which need their own quotation marks.) Bravo! I really should do this in my SN quotes...

Luke is a frickin' gun @wax, you watch him chinking, 8 hours of sticking mud worms into log gaps.. then again, when it shrinks months later... we couch sitters all go.. 'why wouldn't you put horsehair, sheepwool, even pineneedles into it??' wattle and daub 101.. holy hell, man, how often do you want to replace that shit?

At the end of the day, he's doing it, light of heart and spirit.
People like me think more than we do. Good on him.

Trump taking a press conference whilst sitting in a garbage truck…genius trolling. Pretty funny stuff and a perfect political reply to the silly old fool Biden.

Seems there's an implosion going on within the MSM there, surprising to see this happen with a week to go:

And Pensylvania has come in, and it's a win for Harris!

I wonder if it's Trump or his team who comes up with this stuff.

Its quite clever not only does it divert attention from the comedian fail from Trump rally, but it creates extra focus on Biden's comments it also just works well with the working class voters.

As much as people hate Trump much of his attraction is this comedic anti politician type angle, people can relate.

wanna come see Hollow Coves with me on the 9th?
I'll bring the bean bags..

I had a friend years back. Got into meth for a bit. Kicked it after a about a decade. During that decade he would frequent The Dump, looking for glass objects (old knick knacks and such) of varying shapes and sizes. He brought em home and used em to fashion a sorta homemade drum kit in his livingroom. He would find "sticks" at The Dump, too.
It was really somethin to see him play along with Primus (or whatever else he was listenin too), all hopped up on the drug. Made a helluva din.

we have to have patience, attempt to build a home, learn love
(embracing a les claypool chickidy-chickidy-chick ethos would help)

then we have to learn to let go, relax, and gently die..
(I think maybe beanbags help..? you up @syp?)

@icandig.. do it! the bodyjar gig.

the great joy and freedom, seeing gigs as an old bloke, I reckon, is realising you don't have to stay till the end! I reckon it was a bodyjar gig at the gov in adelaide (where 'where's the pope' are about to go on) about 8 years ago, where I realised that the 'sunk cost/ retrospective cost' also applies to a concert ticket, and I watched three songs, went yeh, that was cool beer was yummy, people seemed cool,, I'm going to go get a pizza. Felt lovely warm, fed and tipsy, (had a bottle of red to myself over an hour) as I watched sweaty, lumbering people stumble out of the gov from my little restaurant table across the street.

Next day, I woke up early, went for a walk along seacliff beach, and went to watch aggressive roller-skate going around lady games. and had the best churro I've ever had, from a very indifferent caravan lady. at wayville? maybe..

Just visited a website called "Churromania."
Man! Those people are into their churros!
They insist that, cold, hot.. night, day.. Happy, sad..... "The best time to enjoy a churro is NOW!"
When i get off work, i am gonna take their advice.
(i'm wayy too suggestible when it comes to food.)

Juliang is a very unique poster for days he goes hard literally posting for 24hrs straight even through odd hours of the night and early morning and you are left wondering when does this dude sleep?

Then with only days to go he has gone AWOL?

@julia ng has 3-day sleeps.

(we had similar gromhoods @indo, just replace Aug-go go, Gaslight records, Rare records, Waterfront, Red Eye and Rocking horse, with Andromeda, B# records, or Ray's records. Can or spraypaint and a skateboard on the train, surf on the weekend..)

haha, your patented 'green tea, ancient spores and opioid mix'? I slept for a week after receiving your 'special blend'.

@AW is the awesome embodiment of a modern-day golden-sickle mistletoe cutter @Flip..
(his white robe is a bit grubby these days, but catweazle fans forgive that in a hearbeat)

The package was condoms, he must have morphed into eggbeater mode and fainted as a result of low blood pressure.

Clearly didn’t read the ‘instructions for use’ contained within. Oops. Bit of fun. AW

reckon @julia ng is a femme @AW, maybe filled them with warm water and made a night of it..
looking horrible in the water down your way Adub, same here, gonna focus on food today I reckon..

Basesix. Morning mate.
Correct had the early text message, ‘don’t bother’.
It is 2ft but affected by the NE wind, dying swell also, same at yours I’d imagine.
13th is fractionally bigger and straight offshore. Looks like crap on the cams, albeit , longboarding would be nice.
Looking much better early in the week.

Blown up to the right dimension, filled with warm water, evening water bottle, just don’t hug her too tightly or you’ll definitely be having wet dreams. AW

Somebody give that man a microphone!!
Err...actually maybe don't.
Fucken gross.

price of silence, minor threat, greg, jeff, mice yeeeeww....

Far out, is Trumpy on a self destruct mission now? So far gone, knows he's gonna lose so just going down swinging? And hoping enough people are that way inclined he'll pull the numbers? Day by day he isolates another huge swathe of his demographic. This is hilarious to watch.
Kamala by a landslide i reckon.

yeeeew! Sick one. Nah dunno @basesix (to answer q).
p.s> Trumps Oral on an imaginary microphone. Not a visual i expected to see today. Might grab a few Hawk Tuah fans though.

Chance of maga indoctrinated rioting is going momentum. Trump starting to feed them “the election is being stolen” line.

They might riot @roady, in fact they probably will, but they won't have the majority and in fact i think it'll be much more clear cut this time in my opinion.

haha yeah the Clams boys are legends.
Some good memories.
I'm calling 55/45 Harris. That's unless Trump decides to go further with his self destruction. Could end up being closer to 60.
Edit:: p.s @base was playing Psychochild on the guitar earlier. Haha. Love that song. Could be a MAGA anthem!

The only video worth sharing on this thread.
If you need youtube vids to work obvious shit out in their little election you're a long way gone.

ha! noice. and kudos for calling Harris Harris, so subtle, people calling her by her girl-name and calling that ridiculous orange baby by the surname that his father made famous. Whoever wins (don't care when it's 50/50 cos it means a lot of monkeys are gonna be sad, either way) may Harris hold her head high, and donald disappear into the C4H10O from whence he emerged.

haha. Cheers.
And congrats for correctly naming the baby brat. ;-)

Harris vs donald.

(hope that donald guy wins, he'd be superdooper amazeballs.
that Harris seems like she represents something unseemly ; )
