Interesting article. But &#39;Tom De Vleesschauwer&#39; (Tom the Butcher), isn&#39;t that a case of nominative irony? https://www.theguardian.com/food/2026/oct/21/veggie-thursdays-vegan-surprises-ghent-plant-based-paradise?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

@MikeDunnAuthor "Don't be evil" was Google's iconic, early motto aiming to prioritize user trust and ethical behavior over short-term profits. As the company grew into Alphabet Inc., this phrase was largely removed from the code of conduct by 2018, replaced by "Do the right thing," signaling a shift in corporate focus and culture. Sergey Brin doesn't like either motto anymore, and has apparently moved into "greed is good" territory.
