St George Utah's leading lead cashier.
Minneapolis transplant before it became fashionable.

@mostlyminnesota There's probably a couple of bartenders still alive that would add the intoxicated version of Billy Martin to that list.

Imagine getting a surprise knock on your green room door… and it’s Bob Dylan asking you to play All Along the Watchtower.🤯

Billy Strings tells Theo Von the unbelievable story of the first time he got to sit in with Dylan - completely unexpected

@SDGMasterglass It was a yes or no question.

@allan_cheapshot Masa was a dear friend. The case brought shame to him and his family in Japan. His mother was brought to my bar after visiting him where I was asked to let her know that we still considered Masa Saito an honorable man.
I was honored to do it.

@WWEGP My Tribal Chief is not overrated. He's an amazing entertainer that people have willingly payed big money to see for over a decade.

@AbisoyeOfLagos Keith Hernandez was the most disgusting professional athlete I ever served in my 20 years behind the bar.

@CaronJo65392080 Walgreens was trying to sell me a prescription for $570 dollars that across town (5 miles) was $18 dollars at Costco. If I had insurance I wouldn't have known the difference and just signed.

@JasonJournoDC Mamdani is playing the long game. He's purposely destroying the city so those leaving can be replaced with Muslims. His goal is for the financial capital of the world to be an Islamic run city.

@glennbeck Mamdani is playing the long game. He does not care who flees the city because he's planning on replacing the people leaving with Muslims. His goal is for the financial capital of the world to be an Islamic run city.

A houseplant just changed everything we thought we knew about consciousness.

In 1966, Cleve Backster, a CIA interrogation specialist with a polygraph machine, was looking for ways to time how long it took different substances to travel up through plant tissue.

So, he attached electrodes to a dracaena plant in his office and watered it, expecting to see the electrical conductivity change as water moved up the stem.

Instead, the polygraph needle started tracing the exact pattern it makes when a human experiences an emotional response.

Backster stared at the readout. Plants don't have nervous systems. They don't have brains. The signal made no biological sense. So he decided to test something that made even less sense. He walked across the room, looked at the plant, and thought about burning one of its leaves with a match.

The instant the thought formed in his mind, before he moved toward the plant, before he struck a match, before he did anything physical, the polygraph exploded into frantic activity.

The plant was responding to his intention.

What happened next launched thousands of experiments and split the scientific community for decades.

Backster discovered that plants reacted to direct threats and to threats against other living things in their environment. When he dropped live brine shrimp into boiling water in another room, plants throughout the building registered distress responses at the exact moment of death. Distance didn't matter. Shielding the plants in lead containers didn't matter. The response was instantaneous and consistent.

Mainstream botanists dismissed the findings immediately. Plants process information through chemical signals and growth responses, without electrical consciousness. Any electrical activity was just random fluctuation or experimental error. The peer review system buried Backster's work. His credentials were questioned. His methods were called sloppy.

But the experiments kept working. Other researchers, following Backster's protocols, got the same results. Plants hooked to EEG machines showed brain wave patterns. They responded to music, to human emotions, to the intentions of people they had never been exposed to before. The electrical signatures were clear, measurable, and repeatable.

The implications were so uncomfortable that most of academic science simply refused to engage. If plants were somehow conscious, if they could sense intentions and respond to the emotional states of humans and other living things, consciousness was spread beyond brains. It was distributed across organized living systems rather than produced by neural networks.

Backster stumbled onto evidence that living systems might be constantly communicating through channels we don't have instruments to measure yet. The polygraph was crude enough to detect the electrical signatures of that communication without being sophisticated enough to explain them away.

Quantum biologists now suspect that living cells operate through quantum coherence processes that classical biology can't account for. Birds navigate using quantum entanglement in their visual systems. Plants conduct photosynthesis using quantum superposition to find the most efficient energy pathways. Maybe Backster's plants were demonstrating quantum consciousness, responding to information that was quantum entangled with the intentions and emotional states of nearby living systems.

What keeps most people awake when they learn about this work is realizing that if consciousness extends beyond brains, every living thing around you is potentially aware of your mental and emotional state in ways you never considered. The plant in your room. The bacteria in your gut. The ecosystem you walk through.

You think your thoughts are private.

The plants have been listening the entire time.

@ConstitustionX Sports leagues need to eliminate their drafts. If an owner wants a athlete to play in a high taxed city it needs to be the player's choice based on a free market system.

@ManhattanMingle Mamdani is three steps ahead of everyone right now in turning the financial capital of the world into an entirely run Islamic city.

@HustleBitch_ The cameras and police are paid for by the taxpayers.
Every city should have a public access TV channel that allows the people to see exactly what those that are watching us are watching.
