Working in retail is always hard. But this time of year? Especially onerous. Especially in bookstores. So, if you’re out shopping? Take a moment and thank your local booksellers. Bookstores rock; booksellers rule.

🚨WOW
CNN reports that a binder containing highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, raising alarms among intelligence officials that some of the most closely guarded national security secrets from the US and its allies could be exposed.

fans of teams “happy my team didn’t give him $700M” are such liars to themselves.

props to the dodgers

Is Shohei Ohtani worth it?
“It’ll pay for itself within six or seven years...He’s literally just a money factory. Even just on advertising alone. All the eyeballs from Japan. He’s like Michael Jordan to them. He’s like Taylor Swift.”

COVID death rates are well predicted by state partisanship even once you control for age.

If I understand correctly, the GOP position is:
* Donald Trump should be President
* Bob Menendez should have his day in court
* Jamaal Bowman should be expelled from Congress immediately

I don't know what the hell is going on with this fire alarm situation and I don't think we'll have clarity until we see the video, but I do believe the party led by a man currently facing four indictments and 91 criminal charges, partly re: Jan. 6th, should sit this one out.
