There was a George Orwell quote this week, but it was a long bit of advice about writing. You'll have to listen to the show.

Cheap Nasty Russian recipe
In memory of Stalin’s gulags
Buy a moustache-shaped ice cube tray (Amazon link) and some cheap, rotgut vodka
Freeze some Kvass (terrible carbonated drink that tastes like fizzy bread) with optional rat shit into Stalin’s moustache-shaped ice cubes (or chocolate chips for the not so brave)
In memory of the sub-zero conditions in many of the penal colonies of the gulag archipelago, you have to keep the ice-cube moustache perched between your top lip and nose while downing vodka shots from a metal mug and singing the praises of the Soviet state
The whole thing is a shit experience, but that’s sort of the point.
