Bank of the Apocalypse and Playa Pharmacy Launch Wonderfuse News
The Bank of the Apocalypse and Playa Pharmacy announced a joint venture to establish Wonderfuse News as the world’s leading source of infodelic entertainment. The new media giant will deliver live coverage of the wonder of the burn collectively produced by the participants, who will be generously compensated in beads. In an official statement, the Editors in Bead, Hiplomat and No, emphasized, “Do not eat this game.”
Wonderfuse News enlisted Wax, famed former mayor of PDF, to build The Wonderliner, an online content management system for reporters to submit stories, information and photos. In response to critics’ concerns that using phones at burns can diminish immediacy, Wax stated, “I don’t like using my phone at burns as it very easily destroys immediacy… but it doesn’t have to! I want the Wonderliner to be the first of many playful and weird online spaces specifically made for the playa.”
A spokesperson for Wonderfuse News confirmed that The Daily Bead will run a physical 24/hour newsroom on playa, where you can consult with editors and other reporters to keep up to date on everything that is happening and what it means for the big picture, and anything else you might be wondering.
The question remains as to whether anyone can or will win the game. A burner familiar with the matter, speaking on conditions of anonymity, suggested the likely pathway would be by earning the most beads, of which there are at least five distinct types. There is also no consensus on which words were used to form a portmanteau for the name Wonderfuse News, however some reports mention it is both a noun and a verb.
