I think that pushback against literary analysis is an expression of contempt for art in general.

covid-19, seattle area
cdc has stated that covid-19 is now endemic in the state of washington. that means it's spreading through the community, no longer just from cases coming here from abroad.
if you're in the area, make sure you are washing your hands frequently, staying out of places where there are lots of people if you can, working from home if you can, and if you have symptoms of a fever and coughing - call the hotline, get tested, and stay home!
if you *do* have symptoms and your doctor says you don't qualify, make sure they know the cdc updated their guidance and is no longer restricting tests!

this is a worrying precedent for pete to drop before ST when he's in third right now. he's almost certainly trying to help extend Biden's boost off SC and was offered a cabinet position.
