Used copies of Mulberry Street are starting at $300 on Amazon
If I Ran the Zoo starting at $800 good grief
Seuss episode turning out to be a massive wealth transfer from conservative families who want the books to liberal ones trying to get rid of them.
The $300 Amazon Mulberry has been snapped up, it's now $600+ 🚀🚀🚀#ToTheMoon 🚀🚀🚀
Per @waybackmachine, Mulberry was going for $1.50 prior to this week's news. So that's a jump in value of 39,900%

The virus is still killing upwards of 200 people a day in Texas. A year ago, lifting restrictions in that kind of mortality context would have been unfathomable. I honestly don't know what to make of our capacity to normalize mass death.
I still think about this tweet a lot
The mask stuff in particular blows my mind. You want to open bars and restaurants all the way, fine. A mask mandate is such an easy, minimally intrusive way to help keep spread low in that context. There's virtually no downside!

NEW: I asked a bunch of political scientists what's next for the GOP and, by extension, the country. It's grim; the incentives are all in place for the party to continue down the path of authoritarian minority rule. washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
As part of this I asked them how reporters should be covering what's happening the party right now. Gonna thread the responses below as they provide some good food for thought for the industry. Here's @PippaN15:

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…
Alright I need a 12-part true crime podcast on whatever was going on here 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?
