"Catty cake"?

May 14, 2021

For anyone wondering why people get shot needlessly...

Well, of course there is the issue of racism and power tripping in some instances. And there's also the confusion caused by law enforcement. Look at this scene and the conflicting motions and gestures by the cops, a few of them with their guns drawn. We can't even hear the audio, which would surely have added to how disorienting it must be.

One false step...

Most and least expressive Americans by state?

I was just listening to Preet Bharara's podcast with George Floyd prosecutors Jerry Blackwell and Steve Schleicher as guests. Blackwell said that Minnesotans generally aren't very emotive. He shared an anecdote that an elderly resident of the state told him: Minnesotans tend not to smile because bearing teeth is perceived as being aggressive.

It made me wonder, what have been your experiences in terms of the most expressive or friendly American state and which would fall into the least expressive or least friendly state category?
