In this week's Red Lake County police blotter: a stolen tractor leads to the bust of an apparent theft/drug ring?
Props to the local radio station for taking down all the details on the tractor trfradio.com/2020/12/07/thr…

The annual round of trash-talking between the National Christmas Tree Association (representing real trees) and the American Christmas Tree Association (artificial trees) is one of my favorite holiday traditions.
I love how passive-aggressive it is. Artificial Tree trade group: "Oh real trees are totally fine, as long as you don't mind bringing dust, mold and fungi into your house."
Do any of you actually spray your real trees down with a hose and then leave them to dry for 24 hours before bringing them in? In my house it's straight from the roof of the car to the living room

The most plausible path seemed like:
1. Trump wants to steal the election
2. Launches legal challenges to throw out D votes
3. Pressures officials to not certify, throwing electors to partisan legislatures
4. ELECTION STOLEN

A long shot? Yes. But they were/are trying *very* hard
Again, and I will be a broken record on this: the only thing standing between now and a much more chaotic timeline is the conscience of a few Republican judges and election officials.
And given current political realities and the fact that most of the GOP *went along with this,* I don't see why the GOP plan for the next four years isn't to install more pliant judges and officials for the next time this happens.

Un-freaking-believable. Now more than ever, people are looking to elected leaders for signals on how to mitigate risk. Is it any wonder so many aren't following health guidelines? And this is the allegedly pro-science party!
Just in the past week:
-- Newsom's indoor unmasked dinner with lobbyists
-- Pelosi's indoor new members banquet
-- NYT op-ed "I'm traveling anyway"
-- Cuomo doing this
What's a well-intentioned person who is on the cusp about pandemic restrictions supposed to conclude from this?
Either our elite class is full of hypocrites incapable of even modest amounts of self-sacrifice, or our public health guidelines are mostly for show and can be tossed aside as soon as they pose a minor inconvenience. Which is it?

oh I don't know, maybe it's because WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EFFIN PANDEMIC and most of us haven't slept since March
"why doesn't she smile more," but for an entire industry
I'm being hyperbolic and I'm sure the paper is fine, whatever

A recent survey found that 40% of Americans plan to attend a Thanksgiving gathering with 10 or more people. Here are the odds of encountering a Covid-positive person at one of those gatherings. washingtonpost.com/business/2020/… Image
Caveat: These numbers will only look worse on Thanksgiving day given the uncontrolled spread everywhere. washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
Data comes from @joshuasweitz's COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool, which was recently peer-reviewed in Nature.

Wife hears a commotion in the toddler’s room 2 hours after lights out. She goes down to investigate and finds him pacing around talking to himself. There’s a half empty soda bottle perched precariously on his bed. (1/n)
The little shit had snuck out of his room, raided the fridge, found the leftover soda from dinner, and brought it back to his room for a little one-toddler party. But that wasn’t all.
Returning to our room the wife notices something *under* the dining room table. It’s another soda bottle, this one empty, along with a tube of Go-Gurt that appears to have been gnawed open and drained.
