Generally follow the packet instructions, but once it’s cooking away, we often turn off the heat and leave it on the burner for 10-15 minutes or so

It tastes wonderful. As to the name, “When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

On ODSP ($1,368/mo = ~60% below the poverty line).
This month I still need $700 just to cover basics — food, hygiene, staying connected.

I call it the naughty school kid effect. If you were a fairly well behaved kid at school you’d get clamped down on by teachers for putting a toe out of line but if you were a little shit it’s like they expected you to be a little shit.
Think of that, but it’s the people governing the country.

Lest we forget one month ago Angela Rayner resigned over underpaying stamp duty on her £800,000 flat in Hove

Within a week Farage exposed not to own a £885,000 house in #Clacton he claimed he’d bought & accused of avoiding £44,000 in tax by funding his girlfriend to buy it

It got buried quick eh❗️😡

Wow, me insulting the leader of a party that isn’t mired in the same bullshit as Reform, Tories and Labour upset people. Read my substack where I explain why I’m smart and everyone else is dumb.

Something I find striking about Zach Polanski is how - unlike the vast majority of those who played a key role in Corbynism - his politics are so clearly not rooted in any kind of deeper analysis or intellectual tradition. It's all just a surface-level synthesis of 2010s left-wing slogans and memes.
