Wondering about the recent history of Scholastic, as a history of slop:

* 95% of their books now are total slop

* partnership with Epic means Scholastic coextends into screen time slop

* in the 90s their books were at most semi-slop; something has shifted recently

I turned the saturation down on this photo btw

Probably was shifting for a long time, yet their long time owner/ceo passed away during Covid and that may have exacerbated the shift.
