Good morning. ⛅ I want to tell you about the William Morris "Blackthorn" Placemat Set I recently got from the Hyperallergic store because I’m in love with it. Beautiful, affordable, and quite sturdy, these ornate placemats have left no guest unimpressed. You can check out our holiday gift guide for this and other great finds.

Today in the news, Chinese citizens who are fed up with the country's unforgiving zero-COVID policy are using white sheets of paper as symbols of resistance. There's a history behind this symbol, as our staff reporter Elaine Velie explains. And the Venice Biennale closed this weekend with record attendance. We break down the numbers for you.

And as Art Week Miami kicks off, our News Editor Valentina Di Liscia put together a guide to all the noteworthy fairs and exhibitions of this week, including recommendations for restaurants and snacking spots. Valentina will be bringing us more reports from Miami this week.

Finally, read our Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian's analysis of Elon Musk's bizarre beside table photo on Twitter, featuring guns, a Buddhist amulet, empty Diet Coke cans, and an image of Emanuel Leutze’s “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” I'm starting to really get tired of this guy. Later, Musk also tweeted: "There is no excuse for my lack of coasters." To that I say: Have you seen our Louise Bourgeois coaster set?
