          Congratulations to you and your tiny, wiggly DNA collaboration. When is the critical NCD intro milestone? Third, fourth month?

    Cyberpunk indeed.

    From the Cyberpunk TTRPG:

    The Gang of Four was an American political cabal comprised of the NSA, CIA, FBI, and DEA, formed at some unspecified time in the mid-20th century. During its existence, the Gang of Four amassed boundless political and military influence, operating in an extrajudicial manner and with no congressional oversight.

    It was largely responsible for the collapse of the original United States, causing a crescendo of political, social and economic instability due to its dubious involvement in both local and foreign affairs.

    Conspiracy people think the CIA is behind everything like Palpatine. But when the truth gets declassified they actually operate like Homer Simpson.

      Unless in those cases that don’t get declassified, they are a pretty darn good Intel agency.

        I’d say that an agency that would allow it’s embarrassments to be made public while keeping their victories secret is a classic Homer move.

        The US sucks at human intelligence and always has. The CIA is a garbage tier intel agency. The only reason the US has intel at all is because our signals intelligence is so good.

      Not really, just a new design used across the site

      Graphic motifs are used throughout the website to supplement traditional brand elements like CIA’s seal, which – despite rumors from across the web – has not changed from the original, approved by President Truman in 1950.

          AI Truman won’t be released from the Disney Vault until 2026. They’ll be laying the groundwork later this year with the introduction of new Marvel hero Buck Stopper, whose identity will eventually be revealed as the long-dead president.

        I read that as “supplement nutritional brand” and was very confused, wondering why the CIA was working with the likes of GNC.
