This is SO fucking cool, @kortneydarling! I’m straight-up humbled to be part of this deck. Thank you.

@coryphella They’re an early riser, but is @unseenpresence wrong? I think not.

@addisonborn THIS. Over and over again, we ignore it whenever somebody shows us who they really are if it makes us uncomfortable, anxious, or forces us to rethink our preconceptions.

Maybe it’s a prank. But there’s a good chance it’s not. We shouldn’t assume anything.

You’d think we would have learned our lesson the minute we found out Addis…[Read more]

I’m not going anywhere, @michelle. No matter what Mason does to the people we care about, I’ve got your back.

@nothenrygale Brad, I don’t want to be all “you need to do this,” or “you need to do that” but YOU NEED TO FIND OUT IF @RUSSELL IS OKAY.

Has anybody been able to reach either of them since this video went up?

I texted them both last night, but nothing.

I texted Russell again just now; nothing.

This feels like Joyce all over again.

What the FUCK, @mike?

@russell I’ve already texted you but if you see this, please let us know you’re okay.

@bruinbown It would be the logical first step if an entity was looking to rebuild a lost collection of data, wouldn’t it?

he said I was being a smart ass (I wasn’t)

suuuuuure, @mike. Uh-huh.

Jokes asides, all the contextual clues here actually do seem to point to Tom Barrow, in which case… what in the fuck? Another example of a reboot or repurposed character?

Are we going to find ourselves walking back into The OOA Institute this December?

I think that we need to believe that this death is real, that he really killed her, and we need to let that have that gravity, otherwise nothing is serious in this world.

This is the crux of everything, in my opinion. We’ve found it all too easy to dismiss consequences, stakes, and ramifications under the guise of “Hey gang, we’re all just…[Read more]

In Slack both @a and @111error are handholding everybody to find a deeper meaning in this, so here’s a shot:

Sabrina is trying to split you from Morgan, Meghan. (“Why are you wrapped up in his antics” opens the call.) I took the “tell it to me like a 2 year old” as her calling you out for really having no idea what you and Morgan were “celebrat…[Read more]

I wonder if there’s anything she could do that would make the community turn against her.

If “The One” has a real weakness, it is definitely this. An inability (or is it just a lack of interest?) to reconcile the very real differences between what we want to believe about certain people, and who they actually show themselves to be. And that’s n…[Read more]

Alt theory: As part of her HCDI duties, Joyce actually wrote the copy for these posters. It never came from Noah, because Noah was just playing a role in an OSDM initiative put together by his father.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but they’re only a “threat” if you oppose them.

Just sayin.

@kortneydarling There’s always the option that it was totally a front. A group trying to desperately sell the idea of having pulled off some sort of super clever, far-reaching string-pulling in order to keep an increasingly noisy rank-and-file quiet.

But hey, I’m just spitballing.

You know what I don’t care about anymore? Random, vague promises about REALLY scary things that are REALLY MESSED UP I PROMISE and ONE DAY we’ll learn about them.

It Morgan wants to come in from the cold and actually be completely transparent, I’m sure we’d all love to hear from him and support him. I know I would. And frankly, that’s where I t…[Read more]

@mike’s post is hilarious, though I do think there’s a more charitable read: as things have have continued to not add up, Morgan has begun to believe that working with TPTB, and the blurred lines that resulted, are dangerous. Utilizing a No Caller ID number could be the first salvo in putting walls that had previously been destroyed back in pla…[Read more]

Given my impressions for our chat the other day, this doesn’t strike me as being about sides or loyalties as we’ve been thinking about. This is about personal stakes.

Morgan’s.

He basically told Lauren he wanted out. And we know what happens to people that try to get out.

This is some real glitch in the Matrix kind of business. Was Mason part of an OOA-style fiction that is now being taken over by somebody new, and they reused one of the old “scripts” by accident?

Is there an attempt to restore a backup of the deleted EI data happening – and is recreating a previous experience a sort of baseline reference tes…[Read more]
