Extra Evil - Voyage.01
Launch.
My normal notes say "Haunted cruise into the sun." Sure.
Omens
Welcome to hype barons.
I missed a good game.
I didn't miss a good fight.
We're victorious and negotiating and surrender.
Game controversy got dumber.
Aaron Sorkin didn't have a big tech in his trophy case already.
Mirage
A luxury car chills by the Berlin Wall.
Announcements
This is your captain, somehow. They should've sent someone that can steer, or explain why the autopilot's aimed at the sun. Until we arrive, I'll try to keep you entertained.
Hear that? It's not just more infrastructure exploding. It's How to Dodge a Cannonball launching in paperback. If you like my words or sizzling charisma, but hate paying for bulletproof packaging, the paperback's for you. Buy it. Or swipe it, whatever. I'm here for the attention.
I don't know why I'm leaving Berlin either. Sure, their storied flavor of lunatic's poised to take the wheel, but that's the future. You can live a long, good life Aladdin-style, darting one step ahead of the sword.
There's precedent: mom had nobler standards for faith, decorum, sobriety, self-inflicted risk, and sleep. But she modeled jumping ahead of the sword. Who am I to abandon family tradition? If Anders came from a long line of participants, I'm a third-generation shirker.
I'm feeling better about speeding into the sun. We've never given that a real chance. Has anyone you know combusted? Or is that our assumption after inhaling anti-solar propaganda? I'm embracing the journey.
Timing does me a few favors. Knicks mania looks like fantastic fun for my whole block. It's also the exact strain of trend I'm bad at miming enthusiasm for. Live, that often reads as judgment instead of daydreaming about newsletter fonts. What do you think of this one?
Entertainment
From The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a miracle.
Casino
How to Dodge a Cannonball emerges in paperback.
If I do another collection, it's so more people see this.
Nonsponsor
I missed my spot during my last sprint through Berlin Brandenburg. There are at least two ads for Eisenhower's favorite complex:
My biases as a member of the human dignity lobby are known. You know my opinion on mass surveillance vendors high-fiving themselves before sleep-deprived travelers. Thus, I should focus on this as an ad. Is this billboard worth it?
No.
First off, we're making a field that's either high-stakes or insane (depending on your human dignity lobby membership) boring. Again. I'm not letting this go: each billboard is an opportunity, and you're punting it with "we exist." It's lazy for dick pills, and it's lazy for dick surveillance planes. Skip the focus group: your surveillance network can show you people yawning. Apply yourselves.
As for the QR Code: I will not scan them in a house. I will not scan them with a mouse. I would not scan them here or there. I will not scan them anywhere. Apply yourselves.
Actually, don't.

Postcard
The imagery took a spell, expect sections to be added/cut/left unchanged out of inertia.
