It's not just that their food opinions are terrible, it's that they're defending one of the least flavorful, least appealing, least visually attractive cuisines on the planet. It's like Stockholm syndrome but for food.
It tastes much fresher without that, british food relies on high quality ingredients rather than saturating items with a myriad of seasonings.

American freedom is so exceptional that we even allow dreck like this...

Considering “salad cream” and the rest of this abomination, they Should consider themselves lucky.

America is unfathomably wealthy in a way that both confounds foreigners and blinds natives to how good we have it.
Hawkins being referred to as a small town is crazy what small town has an entire mall, a community pool, two schools, an arcade, a cinema, a psychiatric hospital, a regular hospital, two whole lakes and a quarry

I mean look, Trump wants his vanity W, even if it’s short-lived. If he doesn’t get it for the social day he is very liable to get bomb-y. If they don’t know this they do not yet know him, and may (not) live to regret it
BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim of a deal being signed tomorrow, saying the insistence on signing the deal on specifically Sunday is engineered around his own birthday, calling it a "propaganda event" that Trump is trying to turn into a unilateral "symbolic occasion" for himself, along with his UFC White House event, per Fars. The Iranian negotiating team says it "will not permit such a media and ceremonial manoeuvre," explicitly stating that the memorandum of understanding has not been finalized and no signing will happen.

Britain would be better served by an AI PM at this point.
Keir Starmer has announced that AI tutors will be rolled out to 450,000 children on free school meals to close the attainment gap. Speaking at London Tech Week, the PM also announced the government's new AI jobseeking tool.

Where is the brave filmmaker who will tackle “Brewster’s Billions”?
There is no way a single person can spend a billion dollars, let alone a trillion.

And yet, no one else ever figured out how to parlay these simple tricks into a $1T fortune. So he still deserves some props, no?
People only hate Elon Musk because he comes from an emerald mining fortune made in apartheid South Africa, he buys ideas and pretends he’s an inventor, he’s a white supremacist, union-busting, abusive employer, he’s hoarding $1T in stolen wages, he makes us ashamed to be human,

I hereby propose a 100% tax on all Ugandan compounds owned by American politicians. Let's do it, Zohran. For the people.
Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.” The Palestinians never wanted peace. This must be shared every single day.

The theory here is that government can spend your money better than you can. Sheer madness
Trillionaires shouldn't exist and neither should billioniares. Tax every penny in net worth over $999 million at 100%. We can have extreme wealth concentration or a democracy but we can't have both at the same time. Pick one.

I'm not even a fan of Elon Musk, but it's pretty astonishing to me that essentially nobody on the Left can see the plain and simple truth that he crossed the four-comma line by building things many, many, many people benefit from, including lots of jobs and some incredible stuff.

Americans have been struggling to pay for groceries during the entire many years that California has spent billions and billions on a high speed rail project that has gone nowhere. In the same amount of time, Elon Musk has developed multiple revolutionary technologies.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

It’s so wild you think that he just has a trillion $ sitting in his checking account. That’s not how net worth works. So let’s say like you and AOC want we tax people on net worth. Ok cool. He sells all his assets to cover the bill from Uncle Sam. All of his businesses stock fucking tanks, layoffs, bail outs, thousands out of work, etc But hey you taxed him great job. How about we fix the tax code 1 page 10% net income if you make over x amount. No write offs No loop holes The rich stay rich because they understand the system I can have millions in stock but it’s not taxed until it’s a realized gain.

What a corrosive, dangerous thing for a would-be senator to say
Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire. Let’s make sure he’s also the last.

It went seriously downhill during the later tenure of Peter Capaldi, unwatchable after that.
The ‘DOCTOR WHO’ Christmas special has been cancelled. Russell T Davies and producer Bad Wolf have also exited the series.
