1. Heston Blumenthal has a new restaurant opening in London. Its menu is inspired by historic British dishes and will include Bergamot Cured Mackerel Salad, Slow Cooked Short Rib of Beef, and Scallops with Cucumber Ketchup and Peas. Via.

2. Avoid the Scott Pilgrim video game:

Scott Pilgrim is a buggy mess. Screen tearing; game freezes; character freezes; unresponsive menus; music drop-outs -- you name it; it's all in there. It really feels like the game was rushed out to match the release week of the movie.

3. I mentioned John Reed's new book Tales of Woe earlier this week. He posted a playlist to accompany the book over at Largehearted Boy.

Mondo's Scott Pilgrim poster

Mondo's latest poster, Scott Pilgrim by Martin Ansin, sold out immediately. At least nine are already up at eBay

, and it seems wrong that the first two listed are by a seller with the "Top-rated seller" medal by his listings. Looking at the items

he has for sale right now, it seems clear that he's a serial scalper.

Link roundup

1. Teri Hatcher posted unflattering photos of her wrinkly forehead to prove she hasn't had botox.

3. Fark:

Proving he's the most awesome world leader ever, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin personally pilots a plane that's fighting the fires in Moscow.

4. Slate:

For the disastrous Russian heat wave has exposed a key failing of Russian society: The flow of information has stopped. There is not a single newspaper that even strives to be national in its coverage. The television is not only controlled by the Kremlin; it is made by the Kremlin for the Kremlin, and it is entirely unsuited to gathering or conveying actual information. Even the Russian blogosphere is bizarrely fragmented: Researchers who "mapped" it discovered that, unlike any other blogosphere in the world, it consists of many non-overlapping circles. People in different walks of life, different professions, and different parts of the country simply do not talk to one another. The same is true of political institutions: Since the Russian government effectively abolished representative democracy, canceling direct elections, there is no reason—and no real mechanism—for Moscow politicians to know what is going on in the vast country. Nor do governors need concern themselves with the lives and the disasters in their regions—they, too, are no longer elected but are appointed by the Kremlin.

As a result, no one knows where the fires are burning—unless they are burning right next to you. There is no map that would tell you whether your loved ones are safe or whether there is a fire along your planned travel route. Often, there is also no way to call for help.
