I can confirm that I have made @meghanmayhem eat Indian food and she found something she liked out of courtesy. Can also confirm the ability to wrath as one of her finer qualities. 🔥

Second chances are fickle things. The ability to know who and what deserves one is definitely worth learning.

Looks like I’ll be eating a heaping spoonful of mayo on camera! I’m telling you, @maddyxxx, the only thing I’ll be learning about myself here is that I still hate mayo. But I bet the strangers on Periscope will find a way to enjoy it.

@shankfx22 definitely fits with a, for lack of a better word, “cult” vibe. System/OSDM or what have you. Whether it’s Horace or Noah I guess just depends on who wrote the rhetoric. I can definitely see Horace pulling strings and Noah just using his charm to deliver the message, willingly or no.

Maybe @winstonsmith, @kipsie or @meghanmayhem could…[Read more]

@larry @coryphella, your points speak to me. Right there with you. Let all those chips fall.

@winstonsmith Joyce gave us true if slightly obtuse answers to our questions, spoke in admittedly clever riddles, and berated us. The brevity and clarity of her behavior appealed to me, but of course I am skeptical. I want to know WHY she came, what her real motives are, how much she really knew (to see if I gave her too much credit!) and what…[Read more]

@kipsie probably explains why I like butting heads with him so much. 😌
But yes, we’re not sitting here making excuses for OSDM, nor do we have more information than anyone else about what the fuck is going on. This is just another _path. And we aren’t even half way, and are still very much in a speculative phase.

@winstonsmith I’m not saying it’s hopeless and I’m certainly not saying we should resist anything; I wouldn’t ask questions at all if I wanted to lay down and die. I wouldn’t even be here. But I do think it’s important to remain skeptical of your own cause as well as that of your enemy so you don’t become complacent.

@daela invincible, no. But not predictable, either. And I’m sure not trying to win anything, here. If anyone is, they might want to reevaluate what world they’re in. We still haven’t met Devastation yet, after all.

@daela You could also argue, per what many of your colleagues have said, that Joyce’s insistence we ignore other Experiences, that it’s another indication that she was wise to what was about to happen. What seemed to be her unraveling as you and @shankfx22 have said was what she knew we would expect from her. She also was able to test @bcbishop‘s…[Read more]

@winstonsmith honestly, I don’t think she cared very much about the phone. She offered to make it worth Kips’ while if she handed it over, with no real crux to her offer. She gave her an hour or until she finished her ice cream. Doesn’t sound to me like she actually thought she made a good argument.

Everyone who participated in TMC, signed the…[Read more]

@bcbishop the more she comes up, the more I miss Joyce, as you know. I hope she’s off enjoying a vodka cocktail and thinking about what a useless lot we are.

I think he likes you, @bcbishop.

Exactly @genghistwan. Nobody “wins,” and whatever happens to us, happens to all of us, no matter where you lay your cards.

And damn it’s good to have you back.

@winstonsmith I am comforted to know that you and I enjoy a civil skepticism of each other’s positions, more of that, please.

@nothenrygale (knowing that I may have to eat these words one day, in this fucked up world) I wouldn’t say Morgan’s actions are nefarious, not at all. He is one of the finest people I know and if his movement proves to be serving nefarious means, I’d think he’s completely unaware of it.

I actually want to clarify and say that some of my reasons to suspect here stem from the fact that the emergence of these damsels in distress seems to be very conveniently proving The Resistances point. And I think that is far too simple, and far too easy, to really be the case. We’ve seen this before. Why again? It’s too convenient. I want to…[Read more]

@izryn thank you so much for that Slack transcript.

I wanted to reiterate something I said late last night after all of this that we were given a very important piece of advice by…whoever she was.

Listen to me. Look closer, ask more questions, there cardboard palace only looks legit from the front. Go to the sides

With respect, I simply…[Read more]

@bruinbown I didn’t see anyone get hurt today, did you?

As for lines being crossed, I suppose we can look at what we saw today. If what Hostess revealed was true…there are no lines.

I’m glad for HiB giving us a glimpse at how deep the rabbit hole goes, how intriguing, if not completely necessary. As for her being shut down? I suppose it comes down to protecting the integrity of our Experience. That was necessary.
