It's an underrated work of theirs to be sure. youtu.be/BoTKJL_zeK4?...

The suggestion "Put in one It's Not Unusual" shows an insight into human psychology that the NWO can readily appreciate.

We have Syndicate and NWO members who specialize in EDE contract law. All Technocratic Operatives are required to consult with them before accepting any gift, food, favor, or other offer of goods or services from these entities. The response is almost always a hard pass.

If you wish to examine a granfalloon, remove the skin of a toy balloon.

If only we saw this optimistic an attitude in all of the Progenitor experiments.

How we arrived on Bluesky:

Question for Mage players: Let's say you're creating a character whose paradigm is shaped by the Spiritualist Church. Which works better for you: A Celestial Chorus member with several dots in Spirit, or a Kha'vadi with a monotheistic paradigm? I'm heavily inclined towards the former. #wod #MtA

The constant refrain of the lawbreaker.

You were in a taxi this week with a girl who had fang implants and a tail, and you didn't immediately think "Oh, it's a demon," but "She had surgical modifications and implants through a process explainable in scientific terms" Tell us again how we're losing. #TeamTechnocracy

//The Storyteller system was the first I ran across that effectively prioritized story and character development over combat and stat growth. It blew my freaking mind.

To whomever put this up in the break room: Not funny. You're going to get us all sent for Processing. And while we're at it, this is why we don't sign contracts with EDEs without explicit authorization from the Ivory Tower.

it's important to arrive at sturdy ethical principles that you can't be annoyed out of. people are annoying as shit

This is an astoundingly bad idea.

Have to share this one with the Progenitors

Some of these things manage to be introduced to the consensus with little issue, others require further tinkering in the lab and social engineering in the wider world in order to avoid various statistical inevitabilities.

Of course, Star Trek was an inspiration to Technocrats in every Convention, from Progenitor exobiologists to Iteration X cyberneticists. Even the Syndicate, though more as an early example of modern fandom as it relates to franchise loyalty and tie-in merchandising.

You can always tell which Void Engineers were inspired to get into the field by Star Trek, because they're simultaneously the easiest to get along with on the job and the hardest to talk to about anything outside the job.

A modest yet charming offering from Iteration X, a Convention that has intentionally cultivated a reputation for being neither modest nor charming. www.lawnmowerworld.co.uk

Some really good atmospheric stuff for Mage and VtM, especially scenes or chronicles taking place around the late 60s-mid 70s when this type of music was being used in a lot of genre movies.

very excited to see this man in this article

Through subsidiaries, yes. They also collect them.

It's also the only way to have a ghost of a chance that when things inevitably go sideways, we'll find out in time to fix the mess.

if there’s a stronger urge on social media than finding a high-minded reason that it’s fine and maybe even heroic for you, personally, to suck, I haven’t located it

what "socialism" means to most low-info voters at this point is "that nice handsome lad in new york city" good luck with that

One of my earliest takes on Musk after getting to know more about his beliefs and stated goals was that he was one of those guys I knew who read a *lot* of Heinlein in high school and college, and missed the point entirely.

Johnson: this is a game about rabbits in waistcoats Johnson: the most british of all genres Johnson: not to be confused with its related but distinct American genre Johnson: possums in overalls

In Vampire: the Masquerade, vampires can gain the powers of other vampires by drinking their blood and souls, a process known as diablerie. In the Nintendo games, beloved pink sphere Kirby likewise gains the powers of his enemies by eating them. implying Kirby is a diablerist. In this essay I will
