Good to see that the CIA has a little bit of a sense of humor about this kind of thing. What a PR coup by the X-files reboot, as well.

- legohead 11y agoThe CIA twitter feed [1] is pretty cool. This isn't them just taking advantage of X-files, their social media was already pretty good. [1] https://twitter.com/CIA https://twitter.com/CIA
- derefr 11y agoFrom this perennial-on-HN article (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/modern-art-was-cia-weapon-1578808.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/modern-art-was-cia-w...): > At this time [the CIA], staffed mainly by Yale and Harvard graduates, many of whom collected art and wrote novels in their spare time, was a haven of liberalism when compared with a political world dominated by McCarthy or with J Edgar Hoover's FBI. If any official institution was in a position to celebrate the collection of Leninists, Trotskyites and heavy drinkers that made up the New York School, it was the CIA. If that culture has persisted to any degree, then the CIA is probably the most "geeky" government department we've got, second only to perhaps NASA.
