Utterly bizarre that @mistere only got two questions, and specifically not the personal question. Any thoughts? Is someone able to post his Periscope?

Very interesting. Thank you, @addisonborn, I guess I’m satisfied too.

@addisonborn no sign of the ice cream girl on Getty?

I completely agree this is what’s happening, @mkarrett‘s reply is by far the most damning. But then I have to wonder: if Stacey is an AI and not a physical person needing to type out replies to her “311” emails, then why did some of us get copy and paste responses? I know that my inquiry was honest, introspective, and detailed, and I sent it at…[Read more]

Some great notions here, @anakindrew, you’re diving into some great, Star Trekky, Big Idea sort of questions. What does it actually mean to be human? Isn’t it the desire to better ourselves, to struggle against adversity from without and within in order to achieve what we want? But what would happen if we were able to remove the struggle? With a…[Read more]

Definitely the most laughable quote for me is “Through complicated and (trust us) fairly uninteresting research and technology.” A sinister bureaucracy’s (is there any other kind?) first line of defense is shrouding their ill-intent in jargon and procedures so inscrutable and mind-numbing that they expect us to eagerly agree when they say “Just…[Read more]

Also copy that to all concerned about All’s Well being one of Shakespeare’s worst. The quote in question is much less interesting in context– one of a paragraph of generic platitudes the Countess gives to her son on the first page as she bids him goodbye as he heads to his new job. The dialogue between Parolles and Helena equating maintaining…[Read more]

I was thinking the same thing, @mkarrett, a striking omission. Is it because they know they won’t be able to live up to the last third of that quote? Or are just unwilling?

Call me this spring collection’s hot new jacket because I’m SWAYED.

Same reply as @izryn and @mumumusings. I will not be deterred! I feel like after whatever happens tomorrow with @lilmsfancpants, I may really need a new confidant.

@lukasrl she did kick @mike out of the focus group, seemingly without cause. I can’t vouch for her tone in that instant. I’m sure @lilmsfancpants has some thoughts on this, though you could probably argue all day about who started THAT first.

@nosnevets, it can’t get much clearer than that. Sounds like she’s asking you to found your own Golden Era Productions.. and entirely on spec, no less. What do you actually think of her offer? If you’re in any way tempted, consider me your first volunteer crew member! Let’s bring the OSDM into the 21st Century.

Jaw-dropping. With this kind of forward thinking you could become the David Miscavage of Sinclair Industries, @nosnevets. You’ve hit upon the tone that’s required for this kind of thing to grow so beautifully. So meaningless that it’s meaningful. So generic that it can be specific to anyone. The ego stroke disguised as a noble call to action.…[Read more]

Buz Wallick makes me feel safe. I feel like I could grab a beer with him. If a man in a fine tailored suit and perfectly coiffed head of hair HAS to implant me with an AI personality this fall, I’d want it to be Buz Wallick.

@ziegenbart that’s a good point. In an out in the open actually paying attention to the world around us way, it makes sense to be addressing this to Sarah because only people with their head in the sand don’t know that Sarah and not Noah is behind this ad. But for those looking to support Sarah and the fallacy that “everything is fine” with…[Read more]

Wow, @nothenrygale, down to the second.

I would love to hear about someone getting a reply from Sarah after the Macy incident to see if her tone changes in light of the exposure of her charade. Though she may not have time to talk to the likes for a while. I’m sure Douglas, Brian, and Melanie have shared a few choice words with her since the leak.

@shaun I don’t think I ever got the impression that Sarah was indifferent to this. That was likely posturing when talking to her possible superiors, and we see Macy pointing out how Sarah’s projected confidence is completely hallow because she has no clue where Noah is. I’m sure Sarah is terrified, especially now that there is digital proof of her…[Read more]
