Agree, we should have been paying attention years ago.

Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X in c/technology@beehaw.org

Overdue - more national media needs to take this step.

The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.

It's not like they weren't warned though.

If he can call John Bercow a "ghastly little pipsqueak", I can call him a frog eyed twat.

'Ghastly little pipsqueak' is telling though isn't it? He so really, really wants to be seen as one of the upper class. What with his choice of wardrobe and all. And I bet the septics lap it up, they think it's real. Like the orange criminal they've chosen as president.

Best get the balloon ready if the King of Cheetos is coming here.

I managed to swear and wave the middle finger at him last time. Doubt that he saw me though, what with being in Marine One and about a thousand feet over my head.

It's the thought that counts though.

They're not even hiding are they?

They may as well just superimpose a swastika on their logo and have done with it.

Rewatching The Expanse for the nth time. It always cracks me up to see Bobby Draper stuffing those cucumber sandwiches into her face. Do you want some?

Probably not what you're expecting - but the fact that the once iconic 'British' car is now made in China.

I spent many hours under the hood of my MGB GT :-(

How do I make my bread really dark? (beehaw.org)
 

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA
