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

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.

Antebellum politics is fascinating, the South kept getting policy concessions and whipped themselves up into a paranoid rage anyway, essentially because they couldn't stand being culturally judged for having slaves

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.

//News from GenCon is that we can expect a 6e Mage (I suppose that M20 counts as the 5e now) at some point in the future. As long as the Technocracy can still be played, and done so in shades of gray, then I'm happy. As the Sabbat will once again be playable in Vampire 6e, I hold out hope

Absolute drivel. It would take a centuries-old conspiracy of scientists, engineers, and sociologists to even put together a framework for the infrastructure required for such a thing, and it would have to have been planned from the first sale of the first phone. Ridiculous.

We're going to let you in on a little secret: We care very little about RDs who mostly keep to themselves and do their little spells only in front of others who are already in the know. Much like with one's genitals, it's when you whip out your wand in public that we're going to have problems.

Good, it's working. The amount of effort and resources required to banish a character from all media in the present day to the point that they never existed isn't something we'd care to expend twice.

A picture of the Mystery, Inc. gang from Scooby-Doo with the following text above and below it:

TOP: every time I look at the mystery gang I have this like visceral feeling that someone is missing, but nobody ever is. who are they. what happened to them.

BOTTOM? logically i know this is them. these are the only people in the mystery gang. fred, daphne, velma, shaggy, and scooby. that's the 5 of them. but something deep within my lizard brain is telling me theres a 6th member that has been, for unknown reasons, banished from this timelihe and our collective memory as a species.
