As Bulgaria prepares to join the euro, Russia is spreading anti-EU disinformation in the country.
Isn't it lucky for us in the UK that our politics doesn't include a major anti-EU, pro-Russian party? Oh wait... hang on a sec...

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

More garden tips: if, like me, you want a jump on eating lettuce, a 6-pack of starters is great.
But, to keep eating it, know that they overseed them & the multi-plant pods won’t grow long-term unless you break the individual seedlings up a bit.
My 6 pack is now 14 plants but coulda been more.

Wired has indeed been doing exceptional reporting — and courageous as fuck.
It’s now dangerous for them and I have subscribed, despite my boycotting of American stuff.
Wired are the only ones actively fighting this and loudly in big media. $5 for one year? I’m in.
