*a finger on a monkey's paw curls up*

Russian TV creates a reboot of Nasha Russia and has Ravshan and Jamshut set fire to every facility, while the CIA haplessly looks on. It's somehow even more racist than the original.

Ah yeah definitely is.

Can have a whole ep about their handlers bringing them in and chewing them out for being too effective / too obvious and how they are going to get busted while the two nincompoops just look at each other and shrug knowing they haven't still actually done anything at all.

I love the potoo,
and the potoo loves you.
I'm also legitimately curious how many of these disasters might simply be the result of poorly maintained facilities manned by poorly trained and motivated workers suddenly receiving orders to drastically kick up production due to wartime and things just breaking. From what I understand of Russia, it sounds plausible that many of these places would have been chugging along more or less 'fine' under previous conditions, but if orders come down to actually make these places produce as much as they're supposed to on paper, that could be a recipe for a lot of industrial accidents.

Also lol that your banner picture for "I interviewed someone important" isn't a picture of you and the important person. Did you know I got to interview Macron? Let me just post this picture of me at the Louvre and then write some bullshit. This guy is not a respectable journalist.

Reminder that shortly before HBO released Chernobyl, Russian TV made a TV movie where Chernobyl's meltdown was caused by the CIA sabotaging it.

There's a part in The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared that has this flavour. I've only seen the movie, not read the book, but it sounds like the book might actually be funnier.

I worked in a detergent production facility in America that had a particular air handler that would eat itself and light on fire on a yearly basis. I guess it's cheaper to pay to get it extinguished than figure it out, the building was twenty years past its projected lifespan anyway. So, uh, any sort of ignoring maintenance issues really resonates with me.

The books are all like that (there is now several of them), sort of Forrest Gumpesque story of the guy who always has just happened to be the one that causes odd things and historical events to happen around him. "Modern versions of Arto Paasilinna's comedies and folk stories about publicly unknown great men", as defined by the author.
