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

Karen Jenson's lifetime of work is posted on her website. It's gorgeous. #FridayNightZillow karenjensonrosemaling.com/Works/

It still boggles the mind that the Vegas shooter shot ~500 people.
>100 Americans die in a typical day from bullet wounds.
This shooting from a little over a month ago you may have never even heard of.

Why are large capacity magazines still legal?

Nearly all Republicans & some Democrats voted to keep them legal after Sandy Hook.

Below is the 2013 Senate vote on banning new magazines larger than 10 bullets.

It got 46 votes, but just 1 Republican - Mark Kirk.
Needed 60. ImageImage
The Senate debated the amendment for 2 minutes. Blumenthal argued for the ban on behalf of the mother of Dylan Hockley, a 6-year-old murdered at Newtown. The shooter left the smaller capacity magazines at home, he said. "He knew the larger capacity magazines were more lethal." Image
Chuck Grassley spoke in opposition to the amendment. He said there was no evidence magazine limits reduced gun deaths, and are "not unusually dangerous" Image

Hundreds of bullets were fired in DC at a school by a crazed sniper and it's, like, not even Top 5 on the gun beat this year?
I wonder how many countries in the world this would still be national headline news for months/years?
DC school shooter was 23 years old; described himself as "an AR-15 aficionado" and a "basedman"; bought an arsenal of guns/ammo legally but modified rifles to become fully automatic; used a baby monitor for video surveillance; posted his exploits to 4chan and Wikipedia.

Votes in the U.S. Senate on gun policies in the wake of the Uvalde massacre could occur on June 8/9

Schumer wants to file cloture when Senate returns from recess in a week on either a bipartisan deal or a House-passed background check bill.
It takes a couple of days to set up a cloture vote unless all 100 senators agree to accelerate it.
Even then it could be cloture on *proceeding to a bill.* Absent consent of all 100, you need cloture both to proceed to a bill and then to end debate on any amendments and then on the final bill. Multiple cloture votes = days and days.

Seriously, this place is fantastic. A lot of rich people's houses are super tacky, but I like *most* of this one. And the setting is exquisite. #FridayNightZillow ImageImageImageImage
Fantasy bedroom, dining room, theater. #FridayNightZillow ImageImageImage
