Finally got to write my magnum opus for NPR on why late night TV still matters, charting how it has mattered so much over 60 years of TV history. I also float my theory that key to its continued relevance may be in today's hosts sticking together. READ: https://loom.ly/MZ0a9IE

Media companies thought late night TV was irrelevant. Kimmel proved them wrong

Crispy chicken tostadas — golden cornflake-coated chicken with smoky salsa roja, lime and coriander slaw, and a fresh tomato salsa on top. A mix of crunch, heat and freshness that’s quick to make and full of flavour.

Full recipe on Instagram:

A serving platter with crispy chicken tostadas, each layered with shredded cabbage, sweetcorn salsa, and golden-brown cornflake-crusted chicken. The tostadas are topped with a dollop of salsa roja and fresh coriander. In the background, there’s a blurred bowl of sweet potato fries and dips.

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa
