I don't know that Stewart has it in him to produce a viral clip that gets the same kind of backlash from the very online left that Chapelle or Maher or Burr gets. — PolitiTweet.org

My theory of Jon Stewart: in the Daily Show era his core audience tolerated making fun of the left sometimes so long as he mostly made fun of Bush and Fox News, but now, to be liked by folks he wants-needs?-to like him requires unfunny ideological solidarity. See also Colbert. — PolitiTweet.org

@Gurdur I've never understood why it's more civilized to have all the deaths of people who don't get kidneys they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson Better at trash talking: Larry Bird Better at winning championships: @MagicJohnson — PolitiTweet.org
The Athletic @TheAthletic
We asked 17 of Bird’s former teammates and opponents for their best stories about Larry Legend, the epic trash talker. They delivered.

Fascinating to see Republican officials using "corporate media" in the way one once associated with Chomskyites. — PolitiTweet.org

Perspective: sometimes agents don't bear all potential negative externalities of their actions, distorting incentive structures. https://t.co/ParCmdSafn — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey You think it's true that "no one tells us that the window is blurred"? I think lots of people are telling us that. — PolitiTweet.org

@odnyc_ @jonfavs @jonlovett I mean, they did indeed write some excellent speeches! — PolitiTweet.org

@Banned_Bill I have looked at it, but it's often, e.g., a single lesson, or even a single worksheet, with no information about whether it has made it into the classroom, and if so, how many classrooms? One outlying teacher? An entire district or even state? — PolitiTweet.org

@DoremusJ While I don't have time to write speeches for the purposes of your review, I have published a piece on the subject at hand, if you'd like to know my views https://t.co/3VC7EQyRFt — PolitiTweet.org

@DoremusJ I'm sure I could have written a better speech for Obama to deliver. — PolitiTweet.org

@dahollafish My experience of those adults is that they are quite distrustful of the information they are seeing, sometimes to the point of paranoia, not blindly trusting, but perhaps you are right. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Okay, having gotten through the whole Obama speech (in transcript form) I must say I find it underwhelming and disappointing. He's capable of expressing himself much more incisively when he aims for analytic clarity. This isn't that. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
That is: *lots of people* seem to be telling us "that window is blurred" and most people seem to believe that it is blurred, while disagreeing radically about how it is blurred. — PolitiTweet.org

I am skeptical of this passage from Obama's speech today: https://t.co/t5kGVld6WT — PolitiTweet.org

@lrmagnusson @seanilling If you haven't noticed distrust of institutions on the left too I invite you to read up on Occupy Wall Street, Defund the Police, and calls to radically alter the Supreme Court, the Senate, and the Electoral College, for starters. — PolitiTweet.org

@BAlbertBen @uther_bendragon The trigger is presuming to control the ideas others are allowed to converse about, not the merits of the idea in question. The inability to grasp this is a huge driver of misunderstanding. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey What those parents mean when they scream about CRT is not academic Critical Race Theory. Rather, they use CRT in a non-rigorous way, using it to label anything in their school that they don't like. We can't evaluate those things, for good or ill, by evaluating academic CRT. — PolitiTweet.org

@BAlbertBen Anything is debatable. We could debate whether the moon exists. I think it does exist, and the evidence it exists is very strong, so I would win the debate. There is no need for DEI groups to suppress debate. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @Saikmedi The point is that sending all cats to space is a lot less consequential than launching nukes, yet we would all agree that the president cannot order all cats into space, but can, given an attack, launch nukes. — PolitiTweet.org

@SaysSimonson Clearly a systemic problem *where*? Every school district in the country? — PolitiTweet.org

@BAlbertBen *Does racism even exist* would be a weird and short debate––"Yes! Here are three examples!"––but barring the ability to even make such claims is needless, counterproductive, and likely to end in concept creep. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki So long as we agree that the president doesn't have the power to (for example) order a nuclear strike on Mexico or Argentina. I agree that courts say the president has the power to press the button if the Russian nukes are on their way. — PolitiTweet.org
