Good Things Friday (369) and Link Love

1. I scrubbed another quarter of the little oven clean and only have one last quarter to go! This cleaning project might take months in the end but it will be done!
2. I ran across this cookie recipe and felt that I very very much needed to make it. Haven’t made cookies in well over ten years though so I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high for cookies that would never be. BUT I managed to rest enough to scrape it together and now I have some cookie dough in the freezer for some future need and some in the fridge to make them chewier because I don’t like the crispy cookies.

Police publicize photos and videos of people without their permission even when they haven’t done anything wrong but when they are clearly in the wrong, it’s suddenly not ok to publicize their faces? Mhm. Rapper Afroman takes stand on Day 2 of Adams County trial. Deputies claim Afroman used footage from a 2022 raid on his home in a viral music video without their permission and that they suffered humiliation and death threats.
On the face of it, I would have assumed that this was a nonsense suit but this cross-examination especially underlined that sense. I love this verdict for Afroman.
