I would love to buy her dinner
I was thinking about this. Police have been straight-up murdering brown people since police existed, but for a lot of people one elderly white guy getting knocked down will be the last straw. So that’s not great. On the other hand, if the outrage leads to actual reform then that’s good. But if I were a brown person I’d be pretty fucking bitter about it, and as a white person I’m extremely ashamed.
Racism in general is a huge societal ill. The unequal treatment of minorities by our police and justice system is one aspect of it, but reforming the police won’t change much at the heart of the problem. And reforming the police because they started treating white people 1/10th as badly as they’ve been treating brown people forever feels pretty fucking hollow.

Doubt rioters were involved but the Amazon near me is fully up in flames. But if they happened to be… nice.

Some people love the buttercream frosting on cheap store cake. The birthday part is probably just his attempt to express his artistic self.

Since she couldn’t see her family because of covid and I can’t bake, I made my virus buddy a birthday cake out of a chips ahoy cookie and a candle. Low budget cake still good. Tom Cotton doesn’t deserve cake.

Publix sells containers of their buttercream frosting. They are elite when it comes to grocery store cakes.
This knowledge can only result in me eating a whole tub of the frosting at 2am. Thanks for nothing!

The “buttercream” frosting on most grocery store cakes is pretty much just vegetable shortening and sugar.
… go on.

Bon appétit!
Without a cup of sugar stirred in that’s just disgusting.

It appears everything ended peacefully. Could have been a mess.
On the rare occasions when I’ve had leftover frosting and began to eat it out of the tub, I reminded myself of this and it grossed me out enough to put it away.
Wait until you realize how easy it is to make buttercream frosting. Dont say I didnt warn you.
