This is like being a little kid at Christmas. All the pent-up sharp anticipation waiting for some grown-up to say, “Y’all can open your presents now!”
Come on Q, let the light shine!!!
Can somebody tell me what “DEAD CAT BOUNCE” means?
Is that a known phrase?
I had this prepped to go last night, and the internet FEED went down and I could not post it. I just tried my computer, and the net seems to be back up here in our wide place in the road. So without catching up in reading the thread, here is what I was working on late last night.
Posting blind, and so this may have already been discussed - but oh well, at least it is confirmation of union of thought..... and of course we all know: GMTA!

...”Conspiracy no more.
Time to FEED”
I’ve so busy watching the water, and learning that certain people were “Plants that needed watering” that I’d forgotten till now that we were to learn about GARDENS.
After watering and at certain times, it is time to FEED the plants.
Is there some kind of action wrt to the “plants” that that might suggest?

“Feed” is a book by MT Anderson
https://www.amazon.com/Feed-M-T-Anderson/dp/0763662623
“This satire offers a thought-provoking and scathing indictment that may prod readers to examine the more sinister possibilities of corporate- and media-dominated culture.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires.
Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a not-so-brave new world — and a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.

User interface of a feed reader
On the World Wide Web, a web feed (or news feed) is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe a channel to it. Making a collection of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as aggregation, which is performed by a news aggregator. A web feed is also sometimes referred to as a syndicated feed.
A typical scenario of web-feed use might involve the following: a content provider publishes a feed link on its site which end users can register with an aggregator program (also called a feed reader or a news reader) running on their own machines; doing this is usually as simple as dragging the link from the web browser to the aggregator. When instructed, the aggregator asks all the servers in its feed list if they have new content; if so, the aggregator either makes a note of the new content or downloads it. One can schedule aggregators to check for new content periodically.
Web feeds exemplify pull technology, although they may appear to push content to the user.
The kinds of content delivered by a web feed are typically HTML (webpage content) or links to webpages and other kinds of digital media. Often when websites provide web feeds to notify users of content updates, they only include summaries in the web feed rather than the full content itself.
Many news websites, weblogs, schools, and podcasters operate web feeds.
Work Web feeds have some advantages compared to receiving frequently published content via an email:
Users do not disclose their email address when subscribing to a feed and so are not increasing their exposure to threats associated with email: spam, viruses, phishing, and identity theft.
Users do not have to send an unsubscribe request to stop receiving news. They simply remove the feed from their aggregator.
The feed items are automatically sorted in that each feed URL has its own sets of entries (unlike an email box where messages must be sorted by user-defined rules and pattern matching).
In its explanation “What is a web feed?”, the publishing group of Nature describes two benefits of web feeds:
It makes it easier for users to keep track of our content...This is a very convenient way of staying up to date with the content of a large number of sites.
It makes it easier for other websites to link to our content. Because RSS feeds can easily be read by computers, it’s also easy for webmasters to configure their sites so that the latest headlines from another site’s RSS feed are embedded into their own pages, and updated automatically....
The article also contains discussions of “Scraping” and “Feed Icon.” I learned about “Scraping” when we heard that Obama’s people were allowed to “Scrape” data from Facebook in an illicit way.
IS Q GETTING READY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE WW WEB “FEED?”

[Right after I wrote those words, and sought to post them... I could not. The net - my FEED was down. I wondered if it was a local net outage, or if it was wider. I had no way of proving it out either way, so I went to bed and slept well despite a little bit of disappointment at not being able to join in the fray.]
