Reminds me of that Blackadder Comic Relief special with Stephen Fry as King Charles.

"This is the head of a traitor"

"No it's not! It's a huge pumpkin with a ridiculous moustache drawn on!"

The rancid, shit awfulness of this whole event makes me cringe. Saying that I do hope Tyson goes off script and beats the Edwin into oblivion.

Imagine telling Michaelangelo that instead of spending four years of back-breaking work and creative genius painting the Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he could have just taped a banana to it and made a fortune.

Of course it was bought by a crypto "entrepreneur". Could have given their ill-gotten wealth to a charity and done some good in the world, but instead they paid $5.2million for an entirely worthless statement.

I can't decide if this turmoil in South Korea is the most half-arsed coup attempt in history or something that came disturbingly close to success but was defeated with lightning speed. On the one hand, you have an unpopular president with little political power who thought declaring martial law without any sort of contingencies would be fine, and on the other hand you've got MPs bashing past police and military, scaling fences, to get into parliament to veto the martial law, with rumours that Yoon was attempting to arrest the major political leaders. As daft a move as it seems now the dust is settling, I can't help but feel we came incredibly close to another SK dictatorship.

Also concerning that this is plausibly the sort of move Trump could attempt in the next few years. It probably (hopefully) won't come to that, but it has to have crossed his mind.
