Jacobi/Bacon is in the 99th percentile of accurate casting. https://t.co/Abh6UkDhqD — PolitiTweet.org

Finished the fantastic new Stevens/Swan biography of Francis Bacon, realized that the first time I saw Internet Favorite Daniel Craig was in the biopic where he plays Bacon's lover George Dyer. God-tier biopic casting in "Love is the Devil." https://t.co/i0at9HTSbk — PolitiTweet.org

@drgitlin You're pulling the thread that will reveal why I want better public transportation. It should be easier to yank licenses from crazy drivers, but it shouldn't ruin their lives when it happens. (This is why DC non-enforcement bugs me, you know these idiots can take the bus.) — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

@SleepyEEL Haha, good call - the craziest driving was down there. It got less silly once I got north of Richmond. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Not as dangerous (they're slower) but the number of people banking right into a parking lot with no signaling - why? The little button is right next to your left hand, what are you doing with it that's so time-consuming — PolitiTweet.org

Drove a lot for a story this weekend, freshening up my hatred of drivers who don't use turn signals. I hope the guy in the Dodge Charger zipping through traffic like he was being chased by Neo and Morpheus knows how much he sucks. — PolitiTweet.org

*2012 VP candidate — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Think of how a fairly normal news consumer met the last few speakers. Pelosi 2007: Grandma who brings kids up when she gets the gavel Boehner 2011: Normal guy whose family owns bar Ryan 2015: 2012 VP, seems smart McCarthy 2023: MTG selfie after a week of jackassery — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

@CoreyAtad The ask is a big deal! I forget who shared the clip of Dore mocking Stoller for talking about committee assignments - I imagine if the ForceTheVote ask was "we want the squad on the rules committee" it'd have gotten the same mockery. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

@Emptyset09 Yeah, I got the same, but it wasn't affecting their money/plans like a debt limit standoff. It was just embarrassing. Didn't tear America apart, just introduced the new speaker as a desperate stumblebum. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Like, think of how squeamish Dems are about who they associate with - imagine Pelosi clinching the 2021 speaker vote and taking time to thank the most unpopular people in her party for bringing it home. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Definitely overheated. Delaying the speaker vote for days didn't affect most peoples' lives at all. Only hurt Rs insofar as few Americans knew who McCarthy was before last week, and now he's the guy whose power depends on MTG and Trump https://t.co/2GXgtCJbTU — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Doesn't this overlap with what @briebriejoy and others have been saying - that the squad et al aren't willing to go to the mat in the same way? There are people who wish they'd hold a speaker vote for days to get demands met, they just don't do it. https://t.co/KMSGrCDkN0 — PolitiTweet.org

@JackWaltimore I fully admit this - people should watch the whole ep. It's a funny stunt gag on its own, it's a masterpiece with the character backstory. — PolitiTweet.org

It works even w/o the build-up, which is immaculate: We meet this guy getting dropped off for work, hear him talk about his rap dreams, see him dart off from the food court to spit for Paperboy and get his big break. And this is their only interaction. — PolitiTweet.org
