Wheat sourdough - The Sourdough Framework In this chapter, you will learn how to make freestanding wheat sourdough bread.

Most tricks I got are from this ebook: www.the-sourdough-framework.com/Wheatsourdou... like tips on stretch and fold and reducing water contents of the starter, once it's established.
The rest, I found, is finding the flour that really works for you, and that's a personal preference.

There are so many tricks you can apply to make the holes bigger, the texture lighter the proving process slower or faster, aromas come in more and so on.
It looks good though!

Have you had fun? I still need to make it to one of those nights 🙈

There's one you haven't studied yet! Looking great, Mr ❤️

I'll add to that Mick Flannery's Safety Rope and/or Fuck off World.
The latter definitely being the theme of the year.

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

Irony being that the entire Farage-isation of British politics is built on the phenomenon of white right-wingers who don't want to "integrate" with the reality of multi-ethnic Britain, don't want to accept migrants as their fellow citizens, and don't want people of colour moving into their street.

The problem is there is no will to actually do it. The Republicans are happy with, the Democrats are too scared to be labelled as going against the "will of the people" and the repercussions that'd follow.
The UK is exactly the same, everyone is just trying to out-Reform the Reform party 🤷🏼‍♂️

The anti-genocide protests are not made against the Jewish community. They're not even made against Israel per se. They are primarily against *our own government*, and it's complicity in the genocide being carried out by the Israeli state. The home secretary's remarks should be seen in that context.

I’m only here in the sidelines calling out far right fascism in USA and UK. Please keep this skeet in prosperity for when we all fall to fascism and I can say I bloody told you so !!!!!

Morning!

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

Labour has a chance now to turn a corner and win support from people who want it to succeed. Or it can continue with this type of vicious populist filth and alienate everyone. It's your call guys.

In other news, Kemi Badenoch's party has taken at least £7 million in donations from funders and directors of climate change denial lobby groups bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

Will be interesting to see which groups are sponsoring events at this week's Conservative conference.

Unfortunately I won't be able to tell you about it because her press team have banned me from covering it!

It’s about equality

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

Royal Society rules out expelling Elon Musk after rally speech - Research Professional News Society president criticises billionaire’s “language of violence” but says organisation should not “police political opinions”

Really disappointing from @royalsociety.org which is hiding behind "not policing politics" to sustain the membership of an openly white supremacist anti-science billionaire who never should have been admitted in the first place, talk about low bars 🧪

Yes, yes, gym. Ugh. Can I go back to bed please?

Linear and unidirectional for sure, but with a nasty tendency to speed up when not observed

Farage is applying for a job.

That job is Prime Minister.

The only thing on his CV is Brexit.

He campaigned for it for 27 years.

So his only real track record is making everyone poorer & damaging the NHS.

If you hire Nigel & Reform, you must want this company (UK) to fail.

Labour's conference is going to be an endless repetition of "it's us or Reform". All the while Reform is setting the agenda and Labour are pushing policies to meet it.
For many migrants, trans/non-binary, disabled, marginalised, individuals the difference between the two is paper thin in practice

As someone who has spent a large chunk of his life sharing scientific medical information, it drives me to despair to see the most powerful man in the world, and his henchpeople, callously share disproven medical theories and harmful nonsense.

I mean.. ouch

At this point Reform are every bit as extreme as the AfD—islamophobia, mass deportation of legal immigrants—but our media still refuses to call them far right

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

Just for comparison,
the term "child poverty" has only been referenced 869 times,

"homelessness" 627.

"cost of living" 719

"housing crisis" 310

You know, minor topics which are obviously secondary to demonising people for coming to the UK. 5/
