Extra Evil - Overtime

Today’s Fortune: Celsius is a gateway to dark power.

Newsreel

The Cold War II demo looks solid.

Trump’s poker face shouldn’t have survived Atlantic City.

Pinkerton texted Gavin Newsom.

I dusted off my bank run jokes from high school.

Haiti’s gangs are doing great.

There’s a spider civil war, and black widows are losing.

Today's Mood

War Journal

Dennard+ has a new flagship: Expensive Evil, hilarious tales of things that mostly happened.

The first installment’s free, and in my opinion, good.

Prank time. I’m headed home from tossing these up:

Normally we do desaturated pictures here, but I’m proud of keeping their overall look intact. Enjoy.

Equip loads are the closest thing in games to realism. I’m always tempted to ship out with a notebook, laptop, novel, digital camera, skateboard, parakeet, nunchaku, and scale recreation of the Statue of David. But it never works out well. Now I treat going out like a shooter: primary item, secondary item, and grenades.

Tinder’s running a few subway ads.

Pretty vanilla, as far as low-effort quip templates go. Though any art student can and will do better for a burrito. What’s funny is that Tinder’s taking slots next to…OkCupid. The other swipe-based Match Group app, using cutesy slogans for different pairings. And their other competitor, Hinge. Another swipe-based Match group etc.

Monopolies make life strange. I know dominant brands still have to advertise, lest an Avis appear from the darkness. But it makes ad breaks feel like slot machines. The casino says I’m involved, but the game plays itself.

The Present

Read the first Expensive Evil or face the arena.

A grad student was kind enough to let me share this interview.

Wytch! Wytch!

I’m still giggling at the image edits in this 1-900-HOTDOG article.

Read Everything Abridged to become impervious to bullets.

The Past

My second-most recent prank parodied The Babylon Bee. I’ll get back to it.

The Future

Your spirit needs Everything Abridged in paperback.

I might do an Expensive Evil about the process behind one of these stunts.
