Pie should not be hot or even warm
As the author of a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide (COLOR TASTE TEXTURE), I support all food preferences.
Personally, fruit should not be hot. No fruit pie for me, thanks.

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

“Our communities can’t truly be safe unless law enforcement is accountable for its actions, and accountability requires transparency.” - @councilorkanal.bsky.social
Oregon's Attorney General and Portland area DAs just told the feds they'll prosecute excessive force by federal agents in the state—citing evidence from the trial that shut down Trump's National Guard plan for Portland.
Oregon to Feds: Rein in Your Officers or We'll Prosecute
Prosecutors in Oregon are warning the US justice department to rein in federal agents who’ve repeatedly used excessive force on protesters, immigrants and even local police. A joint letter from Oregon...

The only pie I didn’t like was a green tomato one my mom made when I was about 9 yrs old, and I’d probably love it now
When ranking pies, I remember the wise words of my grandfather, who always said "I only like two kinds of pie: hot pie and cold pie."

one piece of advice for everyone: potato puree is bullshit. food should resemble and taste of itself. you’re not a baby, you don’t need baby food, this is not a three michelin star restaurant

Unpopular opinion: Yes, it's bullshit that Ghislane Maxwell is getting better treatment in prison than everyone else because she praised Trump. But it's much bigger bullshit that incarcerated people are treated so horrifically that toilet paper is considered a privilege.

somebody on here suggested awhile back that a pretty compelling 2028 Democrat campaign promise would be "on day one I will deploy a WPA-scale army of forensic accountants across every square inch of the federal government" and I think about that every day
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
