FIRST TONIGHT on an *EPIC* #FridayNightZillow: An *amazing* Norwegian-style home built by hand out of solid redwood by a brilliant pathologist who found the 2018 Spanish flu in lung tissue of bodies buried in Alaskan permafrost. $1.6M. Follow along... 1/ zillow.com/homedetails/22…?
The pathologist, inventor, mountaineer and "one of the world's leading authorities on labyrinths and runes," Johan Hultin, died in January. This New York Times obit of his quest to isolate the 2018 Spanish flu is amazing: nytimes.com/2022/01/27/hea… #FridayNightZillow
"This house is a replica of the Norwegian Vastveitloftet from the Skansen Stockholm open-air museum of Scandinavian architecture." Says it was built to last 1,000 years. #FridayNightZillow
Hultin, per the Zillow listing, also invented a crash-absorbing automobile bumper and a hand brake for chainsaws. The Washington Post's obit of him here is also good: washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202… #FridayNightZillow
It's been a long week. OF COURSE I meant the ***1918*** Spanish flu. Twitter, I would pay you $50 for an edit button right about now, but you still haven't figured out how to take my money for a typo. #FridayNightZillow
I could totally live here. Good vibes, great setting. MUCH MORE #FridayNightZillow to come! Next up: $199K artist's home, then a West Virginia cray cray cray compound.
Next on #FridayNightZillow: A shockingly cheap, renowned artist's home in Milan, Minnesota. It's a living museum to her art, and the local arts school is raising money to preserve it. On Zillow for *$199K*??? That's #CheapZillow! zillow.com/homedetails/10…
These intricate details are throughout the home. Specializing in Rosemaling and Dalamalning, artist Karen Jenson's "Trestuen Garden Gallery" has 50 years worth of her work in it. Gorgeous gardens. Amazing character. Insane price. #FridayNightZillow
PBS profiled Karen Jenson in her cool home. Brought a smile to my face, and we need more of those this week I think. #FridayNightZillow
Karen Jenson's lifetime of work is posted on her website. It's gorgeous. #FridayNightZillow karenjensonrosemaling.com/Works/
Next up: the "Keyes Ferry Estate." It's wild and wonderful in West Virginia and it's on #FridayNightZillow! $2.95M in Charles Town. Has it's own chapel, tower, pool, and much more on 30 acres. ~8K sf. zillow.com/homedetails/11…
I guess this is a pagoda? I love it. Pool/greenhouse, sitting area. #FridayNightZillow
I love a house with drama. This one delivers! The ceilings! #FridayNightZillow

This is *a bathtub*! #FridayNIghtZillow
Nice houses. That coffee table is art. I grew up with dining chairs like that from Scan in my parents' house. #FridayNightZillow
The property belongs to ... FLEA! robbreport.com/shelter/celebr… h/t @DorseyFilm #FridayNightZillow
TEXAS ROADHOUSE. $750K. Could remake Roadhouse here. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/514-N-Ra…?

Welp. This is part of the outside entertainment complex at a gaudy NJ party mansion. Lazy river/slide/bridge/grotto? $4.8M. The inside of this house is 💥. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/15-Embry…?
When New Jersey wants to get its gaud on, it plays for keeps. Look at those columns! #FridayNightZIllow
This bathroom may or may not cause me permanent brain damage. Will know in about a week. #FridayNightZillow
THIS IS A TOILET. In a $1.995M mansion in Kentucky. Don't think I'll ever be able to top this. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/52…?
One more house to come. It's worth waiting for. #FridayNightZillow
SHOWSTOPPER ending tonight's #FridayNightZillow. A *dream* estate in Vancouver. $22.95M Canadian. It's pretty sweet. zillow.com/homedetails/29…
Bowling alley! Proper placement of an ENORMOUS TV. Insanely awesome round seating area surrounding a round internal firepit. (I'd want some fire if I lived in Canada too!) #FridayNightZillow
More eye candy. Hope you enjoyed this edition of #FridayNightZillow and got a break from everything. As usual lately, nearly all of these homes were found by my wife and sister-in-law. See you guys next week.

Two years ago, Congress considered banning 18-20 year-olds from buying AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles after the Uvalde massacre, and some Republicans were briefly open to doing so but ultimately blocked including a ban in the bipartisan gun bill signed by Biden.
Then-Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law raising the age to buy guns in his state to 21 after the Parkland massacre, but then opposed doing the same for the nation as a US Senator. He told reporters it was easier to do it at the state level.
McConnell actually enacted a law one day to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. But he didn't want to talk two years ago about a proposal to raise the age for buying rifles.

Soaring cost estimates for extending Trump tax cuts set up a crucial 2025 fight:
*CBO puts tab at $4.6 Trillion over next decade
*Fight comes with US debt far higher than 2017, interest costs ballooning & Social Security cliff looming...
w/@chrisjcondon
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
*Trump wants more tax cuts, along with massive new tariffs — aka a tax on imports — that would raise consumer prices but offset at least some of the cost.
*Biden wants to extend breaks <$400K a year paired with higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
If past is prologue, Congress will again play Santa Claus. With a few exceptions, Congress has repeatedly increased spending and cut taxes since 2001.

One of the scarier things I've seen on Zillow. Let's hope this is a prop and not an actual electric chair. #FridayNightZillow Image

Ozempic can be produced for less than $5 a month, a new study found, but Danish company Novo Nordisk charges Americans $968.52. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Bernie Sanders insisting the company charge Americans no more than it charges Canadians for the same drug.
Ozempic pricing page. Many people get discounts on this price, or have insurance companies (ie premiums) or taxpayers pay the bill. novopricing.com/ozempic.html

McConnell helped nix:
Roe
Campaign finance reform
Individual mandate
Medicare dental & vision
Dream Act
$35 insulin cap
Minimum wage hike
Flag burning amendment
Making Election Day a holiday
Public option
SCOTUS filibuster
Pro Act
1/6 Commission
Oil export ban
Cap&trade
Tax hikes
Vast majority of laws since 2007 have had either the acquiescence of McConnell or his outright support, with notable exceptions, like the Affordable Care Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Obama stimulus, Biden Covid relief, Dodd-Frank, Lilly Ledbetter, USA Freedom Act, Paygo.
One way to look at McConnell is that he has often had the role of editor of Congress. Empowered by the filibuster and his conference, he had a key veto point in Washington; spending, taxing and legislating had to pass through his filter.
