It's the same spirit, but 100% self-inflicted.

Zorglub's Zorgmen (who drive Zorgmobiles, wield Zorgbeams, and live in Zorgland) are brainwashed and part of the brainwashing is that they communicate in a coded language that's just reversing the letters of every word (called Zorglang, of course). He failed to take that into account when he ordered them to draw a massive CocaCola logo on the face of the moon.

He learns this as he's doing an Ozymandias-style "I've already executed my plan, behold!". The indelible monument to his failure is what finally crushes his ego.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

And I thought it was impressive that the Ukrainians managed to sink the Russian flagship without a navy. Turns out they can shoot down the Russian air force without even needing themselves!

Here's a better derail, what is British food anyway? Do we only count pre age of sail derived dishes? My only real hangup when visiting is how awful the baked goods can be, not like taste, but why are they all so dry. I don't know if it's the flour, or everything is over baked. I've lost all confidence in the Great British Baking show knowing that Paul Hollywood is up there saying how moist something is and knowing that it's got a texture of sawdust, and anything considered dry is like a mouthful of cinnamon.

On topic, vote is next Thursday for Russia trying get back on the UN human rights council.

A good rundown of illegal gold smuggling Sudan by Russia/Russia adjacent groups.

Also some apparent footage of UKR SOF active in Sudan blowin' up Wagnerites, ostensibly there to disrupt the above gold smuggling. With a kind of 'no comment' response from Ukraine.

I question the feasibility for Ukraine to send dudes to fight in Africa.
Could be anyone's secret services with an interest in loving over wagner and covering it all with a slava Ukraine because why the hell not?

Also, I'm eating a very italian pizza with tomato, gorgonzola, walnuts and apples.

I mean, Budanov's response to the video was basically, 'look we already said we're fighting them anywhere necessary'. A few SOF guys are probably a bargain if the end result is being able to disrupt one of Russia's main ways to get around sanctions. Sure they could be back home doing SOF things, but they might be able to help interdict a planeload of gold meant to be able to buy parts for Shahed's.

English food from back then was wild and interesting, though that's also true of other parts of Europe. At least the upper class food, since those were the people who could afford spices and wrote down recipes. It's full of imported spices (things like saffron, ginger, galangal, long pepper, cinnamon etc etc), local herbs, dried fruit, and rather a lot of both wine and vinegar. They didn't really start cutting down on the spices until ... late 1700s, maybe? As I understand it, spices became cheaper and more common, so you couldn't show off to the same degree anymore - so the posh moved on to the still modern "simple but high quality ingredients that speak for themselves" so they'd have something to be snobby about.

The most direct descendant I can think of may be a modern US barbecue sauce; the "sugar, vinegar, every spice in the kitchen, put it on meat" style feels like it'd be completely at home in 1390.
