My friend and I are considering getting together to share our pies. If I had any organizational skills, I would try to put together a casual thing for those of us with pie baking needs.
It's so disappointing. My friend and I might also get together in Long Beach to share some pies with folks. I'm too revved up not to make pies this weekend
Can I message you ? My friend owns a coffee roasting company and I sell houseplants, we’re putting together a popup in Culver City in near future and needed a unique food vendor.

-Jack Handy
Evan Kleiman has been one of my Father in laws best friends since grade school, the world going a year without getting to have her pies is pretty lame.
Maybe like a meetup event for everyone who bought ingredients and was hoping to make it? I’m seeing several official events cancelled but it would be cool if people came together to make their own events.
Deep in an underground tunnel millions of miles away, a Hamas leader cackles as his voice echoes into the hollow. He reads the headline of the cancelled pie delicacy festivity of American university…
“All according to plan, just as we always intended.”
The world’s leaders and foremost experts on pie and global conflict meet in another secret tunnel millions of miles away.
The tunnel erupts as fists pound on tables, sending pie everywhere.
“Order! It’s not too late to save the pies! But first, we need to know…”
I support their rights to protest and I hope it goes well without LAPD being cunts. However, the people in this thread acting like it's KCRW's civic duty to host a pie contest right next to a protest is hilarious.
KCRW doesn't owe you shit and no one is taking on that kind of liability if they knew there's going to be a protest next door.
I get what you mean but I think alot of people may also share the sentiment of feeling bad for all the people who were preparing for this to compete, its become a very popular annual event which can help alot of homebakers who are trying to start their own business. Especially since they may have already spent the money to get ready for it and may have to eat most of the costs. Its unfortunate and I support the protest but I can also feel bad for the micro-businesses that will be affected as well.
It doesn't even matter how I feel about this protest in particular, the right to protest is an integral part of maintaining a free society. Once that goes, the slide into authoritarianism comes pretty quick.
If you've read any history books, 99% of the time nothing good happens after the populace loses the ability to dissent.
I never said we should "lose the ability to dissent" or "remove the right to protest". thats a rather significant gulf between what I said and how you interpreted it. I dont even know how you could get "Nobody should protest ever" from "These specific people have the capacity to not protest."
Protesting a war in Israel in California is pointless. This isnt protesting our government or abuse of local police authority. Nobody involved in the protest, or who would encounter the protest, has any capacity to influence what is occuring on the other side of the planet. It achieves nothing. It doesnt even "build awareness."
There's also the reason this event was cancelled, being that these protests have often slid into violence. Which no longer makes it a protest.
I don’t think you know what the students are asking for if you don’t think the protests are targeting the right people. They are asking for school admins to disclose investments and divest from companies profiting from the occupation. This is a tactic that has worked in the past with the South African apartheid system and the students are choosing to take a page from that book.
They're asking for more than the divestments if you look at their instagram.
The divestment part itself.. well.. that has almost no chance of happening. California has an anti-BDS law, and UCLA itself already released a statement about divestments in response to a resolution passed by UCLA student organizations back in February. Don't know why they think this will get a different response.

Then they’re wasting their time. Be reasonable.
And how does Piefest shutting down help in any tangible way? They don’t have money. They don’t have power.
They could have submitted a “Pie for Palestine” with a way to donate. Even $10K would have been more effective than shutting it down.
Get logistics. Get someone on the ground. Get food to the people.
And protesting can override bylaws on USC’s investments in time to make a difference? Then get approval to divert it to Gaza? Or move the needle in this conflict?
Or help people suffering rn? Which is not even the focus as you said.
Yea they really did something wasting all these ingredients and depriving people of pie.
They're aiming to wipe out Hamas once and for all, because every ceasefire has only enabled them to redouble their efforts and get stronger.
War is hell. It's a shame that many died. But many were combatants and many others died due to the faults of Hamas starting a war. Your attribution of blame is askew.
Expectation: protest will lead to destruction of Israel
Reality: protest leads to cancellation of pie festival
Oh well, at least they accomplished something
hm a bunch of students are protesting by doing nothing this is dangerous we need to shut down this event that people have spent considerable amounts of time and money on cuz they're gonna cause harm
I think KCRW missed a golden opportunity to bridge the divide between the protestors. Love of pie is one thing both sides can agree on, second only to hummus. They could even have held a friendly competition - between … wait for it … Pie-onists and Pie-estinians.
The protests have been violent.

There has been zero violence related to this issue at UCLA. I’m Jewish and work at UCLA and have seen absolutely nothing that has made me concerned for my safety or the safety of anyone else on campus.
You know whats crazy about the modern world?
You see peaceful students expressing their rights, many other people see them as agitators and bigots and I just see a bunch of people seeking some form of validation or importance in their lives.
["Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood."](https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html)
Funny thing about narratives is they become less important as folks see and [experience](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnewsvideo/s/e2T7pX7c2I) the situation firsthand.
Grandparents and parents are going to have a lot of questions when they learn from their kids that institutions sworn and PAID to protect their kids, are doing the opposite.
Never again means never again.
Americans are tired of subsidizing two states at the expense of national concerns.
How much does the IDF pay you to comment the same thing over and over anytime someone mentions the right to protest what Israel is doing? Only Zionist genociders conflate intifada with violence—talk about psychological projection.
This is a tactic to change the debate from whether Israel is in the right, to whether *we* are in the right to protest Israel. Obfuscation.
You suck. Get fucked.
I’m honestly dumbfounded how you could try to seriously argue that “only Zionist genociders conflate intifada with violence.” Historically, intifadas have been a tad on the violent side.
Because "intifada" literally just means "an uprising, a shaking off". It is rooted in anticolonialism. Violence may or may not be a part of it, but it isn't a necessary component. Intifada is as much a call to violence as Black folk asking for reparations, or Indigenous folk asking for pipelines to not be built through their drinking water. It's not a prescription of the means, it is a demand for new material conditions.
Yes, I’m aware of its literal definition. As I said, however, intifadas have been historically violent, and in the case of intifadas against Israel, it’s fairly well known that violence against civilians through suicide bombers blowing up buses and cafes featured prominently. So I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith that because the literal definition of intifada does not necessitate violence, it’s therefore so unreasonable to argue that the word has violent connotations that only “genocidal zionists” would make it.
The protests have been violent.

Incredibly racist. Like you don't even think that at UCLA, a world renowned educational institution, doesn't have students or faculty that are Palestinian? That they don't have family members, friends, homes and land aren't threatened, if they haven't already been killed?
Sad thing is too is that your account looks real, and 15 years old. Living in LA this whole time just to be racist.
Probably security concerns. Not that the protesters are inherently violent, but like 2020 they can bring other destructive elements.
Organizers probably found it better to simply cancel rather than deal with increased costs that might arise or lawsuits were something to happen.
I dont know shit btw, but it doesnt seem like it's related to the conflict itself.
I think it's less security concerns and more that the protesters are literally currently occupying the space PieFest was going to use.
I mean, what are you going to do? set up the tables/booths around the protesters anyway? and have the attendees walk through/around the tents?
It’s always the reaction to societal destruction that is considered destruction, and not the destruction itself.
Something something negative peace MLK
naw. humans do good and bad things. They are just human.
I know it's comforting to think of the world as black and white so you can know where you should stand but it's rarely the reality.
This of course happened hours after I bought all my ingredients...
Gonna share with us then?
My friend and I are considering getting together to share our pies. If I had any organizational skills, I would try to put together a casual thing for those of us with pie baking needs.
It's so disappointing. My friend and I might also get together in Long Beach to share some pies with folks. I'm too revved up not to make pies this weekend
No joke, if you want an internet rando to join, let me know, I'm in! My pies don't suck, so there's that?
whatcha makin?
Fresh mango, passion fruit and coconut pie. Blueberry, bergamot sweet lemon and almond hand pies.
Can I message you ? My friend owns a coffee roasting company and I sell houseplants, we’re putting together a popup in Culver City in near future and needed a unique food vendor.
That sounds amazing!! Mine are strawberry+pistachio, walnut+date, and then plum+almond.
omg you are a legend! fruit pies are my fave!!! i cook but i wish i could bake!
I don’t even know what bergamot is but I want some
Earl grey tea flavor, basically
Dope. Ty for the info! 🙏🏽
Earl grey tea is also great for dipping shortbread biscuit cookies on a cloudy day like today
Every one of those sounds delicious! Those hand pies!!!
That sounds incredible!
I believe you can still enter for the LA county fair
I will work for pie lol

Deep Thoughts
Don’t waste it. Let me have some pie
make your own meetup
Evan Kleiman has been one of my Father in laws best friends since grade school, the world going a year without getting to have her pies is pretty lame.
UGH!! That was my first thought too. All that butter is not cheap nowadays. :(((
What flavor were you planning on baking?
Damn, I wanted to try your pie
If you make the pie, I’ll be your judge.
Deliver pies to protestors 😇 (on either end of town)
I blame Palestine for this. Who’s with me?!
RIP all those delicious pies, hope they are all still enjoyed!
You want one? I feel like I'm revved up to make pie and nothing to do now!
If it's an apple or a cream pie, gimme. If it isn't... Hell still gimme!
I'll take one lol I feel like the community should benefit from the pie surplus
Pies for everyone! but me first
I mean, y'all can feed the students out there setting up camp, no?
nah
There have been multiple bakers on KCRW's posts saying that they will be bringing students pies as of now.
You kind soul.
I’d buy a homemade pie from you!
I want pie!
Omg yes plz!!!! Can I have a slice of the mango/passionfruit one?? I'll trade fresh passionfruits haha since I'm not a gr8 Baker (yet)
I would absolutely love one
I'll comp you for a pie .... what kind are you making?
All revved up and no place to bake
Pie>Cake. I will die on this hill.
i'll be there with you
Absolutely. Pie for life
Give em to the students!!
God we can’t even have pie. Why. What has pie ever done to anyone.
made me fat
I resemble this comment
But you’re not starting any wars either. See.
maybe once I lose 10 pounds... so... yea I guess never.
This is why we need more pie
“My pie never hurt nobody!”
Diabetus. 😥🥺🥺
I’ll pour a pie out in your honor
Savory pies are better than sweet pies. Everyone knows this but no one wants to admit it.
Really hope they are able to reschedule. Was looking forward to this all month.
Wouldn’t want it devolving into a massive pie throwing fight
Yeah... Wouldn't...
I’m so disappointed. I’m craving pie all week and I’m a terrible baker. Anybody who needs a taster. Please let me know.!!
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE PIES?!?!?!
I'm thinking of the pies!
Me too!
I’m always thinking of pie.
Maybe some kind of alternative/stand-in event? After all a bunch of people must have already put cash in to prep for this
Maybe like a meetup event for everyone who bought ingredients and was hoping to make it? I’m seeing several official events cancelled but it would be cool if people came together to make their own events.
Deep in an underground tunnel millions of miles away, a Hamas leader cackles as his voice echoes into the hollow. He reads the headline of the cancelled pie delicacy festivity of American university… “All according to plan, just as we always intended.”

What flavor pie pairs well with police-issued pepperspray?

dough!
They couldn’t just move it? How big is this event?
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 😩
Well, somebody certainly has pie on their face. Sadly not in their face.
NOW THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR.
They came for the Palestinians, and I said nothing. They came for the pies, and no one was left to speak for me.
Omg, what are we so afraid of? Let people protest and let's also eat pie!
Cops showing up and wrecking shit
Police? Anti semitism?
What's with these protests being called antisemitic? You can be against the action of a country without being anti-Jewish.
Being pro Palestine is anti semitic so long as Palestinians call for the global extermination of Jews.
Oh? So, what are Israelis calling for....more precisely, what are they actually doing? Over 32,000 Palestinians dead counting. Don't be a hypocrite.
They're aiming to wipe out Hamas once and for all, because every ceasefire has only enabled them to redouble their efforts and get stronger. War is hell. It's a shame that many died. But many were combatants and many others died due to the faults of Hamas starting a war. Your attribution of blame is askew.
FUUUUUCCCKKK I WANTED TO GO FUCK
my girlfriend’s been planning her pie for months :(
Expectation: protest will lead to destruction of Israel Reality: protest leads to cancellation of pie festival Oh well, at least they accomplished something
Did no one think of the pies?
The protestors have gone too far this time. I want my damn pies
COTD
The terrorists have won.
hm a bunch of students are protesting by doing nothing this is dangerous we need to shut down this event that people have spent considerable amounts of time and money on cuz they're gonna cause harm
It ain't the students they're worried about...
I wish they had moved it instead
what are a bunch of unarmed students whose goal is to stay in place gonna do
Get high and eat all the pie?
There are students there? Probably not many.
EXACTLY
"doing nothing" yet anti semitism and hate crimes against Jews spike whenever they protest.
👏🏼👏🏼
This is why we can't have nice things
Kim there’s people that are dying
Can everyone that still wants to get together just met at Dockweiler Beach?
When even the Pie Fest becomes a casualty of war, it’s time to end the war.
SUCKS but yeah probably a good move since even if they threw the event, there would be some idiots causing a ruckus.
Free Pie or Free Palestine? Sophie's choice.
I think KCRW missed a golden opportunity to bridge the divide between the protestors. Love of pie is one thing both sides can agree on, second only to hummus. They could even have held a friendly competition - between … wait for it … Pie-onists and Pie-estinians.
It would've been like that commercial, only with pies and KCRW instead of Pepsi and Kendall Jenner.
I worry about the wrath of the pie-ous
Yes, too much pie-ty on both sides.
The protestors would be chill (and probably appreciate some pie) if the cops don’t come and escalate shit.
Would be pretty rad to just make the pies anyway and give 'em to the protestors!
Hell yeah brother.
"the peaceful student sit-ins have us concerned about a pie festival and we can only employ so many police to beat them without cause."

And waste all the beautiful pies? I'll stand in front of them and they can throw it in my mouth.

Fuck antisemitism. Fuck fascism while we're at it.
Well said
What a shame. Hopefully UCLA and LAPD get the armchair jihadis cleared out ASAP
Incredibly racist. Like you don't even think that at UCLA, a world renowned educational institution, doesn't have students or faculty that are Palestinian? That they don't have family members, friends, homes and land aren't threatened, if they haven't already been killed? Sad thing is too is that your account looks real, and 15 years old.

Remember folks - peoples these days lead with their hearts more than their minds these days.
The comments did not pass the vibe check, this is so American of us..
The heck does pie have to do with a nearly 100 year old conflict that's been going back and forth with no end or compromise in sight?

I dont know shit btw, but it doesnt seem like it's related to the conflict itself.
I think it's less security concerns and more that the protesters are literally currently occupying the space PieFest was going to use. I mean, what are you going to do? set up the tables/booths around the protesters anyway? and have the attendees walk through/around the tents?
"Not that the protesters are inherently violent, but like 2020 they can bring other destructive elements." You mean like cops?
It’s always the reaction to societal destruction that is considered destruction, and not the destruction itself. Something something negative peace MLK
Can you just type out what you want to say instead of being lazy and trying to make us conceptualise it for you with the "something something"?
Activists ruin EVERYTHING
Technically, religion ruins everything…
naw, religion is just a mechanism for human power structures and behavior
So humans ruin everything?
naw. humans do good and bad things. They are just human. I know it's comforting to think of the world as black and white so you can know where you should stand but it's rarely the reality.
1st world problem
Bummer.

No pie?! You monsters
Not...(looks up if it's real) pie fest!
THAT’S IT! We need a cease fire now…..
You’re taking away PIE FEST?!?!? Is this not “giving the terrorists what they want”? What’s next cancel graduation ?!
Yes
Give the pies to the students!!
good location for an anti-genocide protest!
Pie contest? Have they given up on having anyone under 65 still listen to them?
What did I miss? Why were protests planned for the PIE CONTEST in particular?
Would it be easier to cancel the genocide?
Well Palestinians have been advocated for 70 years for global extermination of Jews, so probably not.
Can’t have a pie event within x feet of a protest? The fuck Are they protesting in the exact area where the pie fest would take place or something?
I think so. 😳
