Replying to @GaryLineker
England had 22 shots, Denmark 6. Nobody got robbed. Soft penalty perhaps, seen them given, seen them not given. But the side that clearly deserved to win did in fact win.

.@jonlovett in July: "The idea that Joe Lieberman is going to come in here and lecture us about what's good for working families and good for the Democratic party - he can go fuck himself." Jon Lovett today: "He said what? Someone go find that clip."

It's wild how so many Americans view the outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China over the past 25 years as some devious Chinese plan for domination rather than a strategy by which the American ruling class exploded its profit margin by exploiting global inequality

It’s official: I’m running for Senate to defeat Mitch McConnell. This is a statement that we're taking our future back. It is a declaration that nothing will change unless we stand together and fight for it. Join our movement. Chip in: bit.ly/Booker4KY.

Here’s my theory - the food writer @britishfood sends Spuce Eats a traditional British recipe. They decide to make it and take photos of it for the article. But they don’t know what mincemeat is, resulting in this unholy horror: thespruceeats.com/mincemeat-…

I’ve written and spoken many times about Tripadvisor. And I’m sure that my thoughts are similar to any chefs follow on Twitter. But I never thought I’d have to respond publicly to someone who works in my own industry. Called out, named and shamed kojcheltenham.co.uk/blog
