All Podcasts Are Shows; Not All Shows Are Podcasts

As a side note, I think the $100 million in venture capital that Luminary raised is going to be $100 million flushed down a toilet.The sooner the better, AFAIAC


Extinction Rebellion, David Blunkett and Me

Very interesting and thoughtful read.  How one sanctimonious ex-MP  turned “a stereotypically diffident Englishman who hates getting in other people’s way and making an exhibition of myself” into a potentional eco-anarchist, although he also very sensibly denies that label, it being utter tosh.


Did you see the photo of my starter from this morning? It has now had time to work its magic and I have three good looking seedy loaves based on Hamelman's multigrain with soaker. I can't guarantee that these particular loaves will be absolutely del

@rdwrt Not really, because it is an unconference. The sessions on the first day are offered by the people who are there and adjusted to suit people, and the second day is a hack day devoted to IndieWeb projects. Some more details at indieweb.org/IndieWebC…


Mexican X-plainer: Balls, Nuts Avocados

Because an article on Medium is obviously a lot more long-lived and citable than a Twitter thread, right?Luckily, someone else is taking care of keeping it available. web.archive.org/web/20190… is why I support The Internet Archive and not Medium.

My sourdough leaven, active and spongy and ready to do its thing after two builds. I originally received this more than a decade ago, as a Tuscan starter that was more than 100 years old. Is there anything specifically Tuscan about it? I doubt it. I


I think they were cod fillets, but in any case they were delicious.


Hearsay Festival is the Coachella of creative audio

I don’t know what Coachella is (well, not directly) but I do know that Hearsay is the business.


New RSVP

Nice result for the 3-flour rustic, after gentle handling.


Elderflower.


And very good they are too, though I say so as shouldn’t.

Prime buns, waiting to prove.


Seven hours later ...


Now to wait and see, and hope that I haven’t overfaced my willing microbe helpers with all that rich food.


Spices: allspice, cinnamon, cloves, cumin and nutmeg. Half a teaspoon each for 500g of strong flour.


Today I will mostly be making Hot Cross Buns, leavened by my 100% white starter, fully conscious that it may not work. Nothing ventured and all that.
