@larry Unfortunately I won’t be able to accept your offer, but I applaud your unionizing efforts.

Well put, @kevin. I’ll admit I find myself in a curious position. I’ve always sided with OSDM (sp?), HCDI (sp?), and Horace (sure, sp?) not because I cared about Anoch or anybody’s business practices. I cared because they pushed my emotional buttons; that they provided The Experience, which helped lead me down the road of self-actualization and…[Read more]

The last three days have been about empowering us as individuals. Tackling things we fear physically, tackling things we fear emotionally, and turning that ownership into self-actualization. “NO WRONG ANSWERS!” and “Just say WHAT YOUR HEART AND MIND NEEDS TO SAY.” These are calls to action for an individualist mandate, where we don’t answer to…[Read more]

Periscope privacy settings are hard, so for posterity:

This was a little more challenging than I think I expected.

Been talking about this particular thing I hate a lot lately – either in therapy, or with friends, or with my wife. Fear of failure –> self-sabotage –> increasingly devalued sense of self worth despite the good things in one’s life –> more fear of failure.

It’s a fucked up loop, but…[Read more]

There was one particular food item my Dad always tried to get me to eat when I was a kid. I always hated it. To the point that it would actively make me retch whenever I even thought of it.

Today I faced that fear, thanks to @maddyxxx and The System.

UPDATE: A friend brought up a…[Read more]

@maddyxxx Another shout out? I think @wanda102 may have been right about the crush thing. Either way, you sure do know how to make a fella feel special.

Cooking something up for you, Precious. Stay tuned.

Arguing ideas? Cool.

Arguing tactics? Cooler.

Wondering who is motivated by what in a world where the fourth wall has collapsed and it’s not clear who is what (or why) anymore? Coolest of all.

Attacking IRL friends because they don’t agree with you, and pretending it’s all “in-game”?

That was BOS’s move last year.

Keep it up, and you won’t…[Read more]

@joycecarlberg… Are you catfishing us?

@kasch Nothing would make me happier, but I’ll admit I don’t sense the usual JC eyeroll in that Noah post. It seems to be much more like the man himself… albeit, slightly off.

The truth is @joycecarlberg hasn’t logged on in over two weeks. I will love her until my dying day, but I fear she may no longer b…[Read more]

Oh @maddyxxx… I thought we’d gotten to a good place.

See you Sunday, precious.

@theladyj Would probably have to be a faction aligned around not buying any of the convenient, pre-digested narratives we’re being fed on all sides. That would include “honorable rebel alliance” narratives.

According to the Slack discussion last night (if it’s legit), the retreat ritual was designed to look like theater. It wasn’t. It’s probably…[Read more]

Hostess in Black indicated that the current Resistance was a game, which could point towards a new, third faction.

Good point, @kevin. Is it time for a new Team Fuck Everyone to emerge?

@blondie Going less for it being them… more that The Resistance has been serving the ultimate goals of The Experience…

Damn. I picked the wrong night to go to bed early.

Truly upsetting — and with so many things, everything can be looked at from many angles. I think @blondie and @wanda102 are wise in exercising caution here, particularly given the rather overt resonances with what we saw last year.

Anytime something seems too easy or convenient, it probably is…[Read more]

@michelle Hi!!!!!!

All but one tweet was deleted before the “apology note” went up. It was the tweet saying that all actors had to give over passwords for their social media accounts.

Can’t imagine that was anything less than a reminder… and a warning.

Fuck.

@shankfx22 I’d argue @111error is NOT a performer. We’ve spoken at length about certain topics and I would bet money he has never signed a contract like this.

@rizzzoooooo Totally agree with you in principle on this. BUT if the role somebody was playing was “participant turned resistance leader,” then conversations designed to sell that role wou…[Read more]

I’ve got zero analysis or take on what’s happening right now. Just more of the Twitter convo update.

None of this makes sense.

I've got the screenshots. This is FUCKED. If you have something to tell people, say it publicly.

Yeah, @maddyxxx. I think we’ll maybe try that after we hear from a certain someone that you’re apparently quite afraid of.
