We will of course never solve *all murders* but if we were aiming to attempt it the approach sketched at book length in Ghettoside is what I'd favor. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
In 2021, murders were way up and police killings were down. What should that mean for our crime policy priorities in the coming year? My thoughts here. https://t.co/4sU0QfWDy5 — PolitiTweet.org

@Sebastian_Hols @JeffreyASachs One can find hysteria on both sides of this debate, but the notion that one can find it from me or Yglesias is unsupported and I think unsupportable. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JeffreyASachs You seem to imply that Yglesias and me have been guilty of "rhetorical hysteria." In what articles specifically? — PolitiTweet.org

To read Tyler Cowen, as you all should, is to repeatedly come to the humbling realization that he knows more about what he's least interested in than I do about at least some things that I am quite interested in. https://t.co/KXEA5MlL4a — PolitiTweet.org

@ColinAllFreaks As I understand it, boosted people have weak but nevertheless nonzero protection against infection, and are much less likely to die, require hospitalization, or have serious cases, so having 100 percent boosted staff would minimize the number of staff absent due to sickness — PolitiTweet.org

I still think the issue is fraught, for reasons best captured by @elisaslow, who excels at treating people on both sides of the question as sympathetic humans https://t.co/gxqAP8MxaR But I think, for hospitals, the pro-mandate folks have the better argument. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
In other words, hospitals are already struggling with staff shortages. And if fewer of their employees were vaccinated, making them more vulnerable to serious cases of Omicron, things would be far worse. Vaccinated staff *directly helps the core mission of the institution*. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
What's the strongest case for the vaccine mandates many hospitals imposed on their staffs months ago? Here's a passage from @edyong209's latest: https://t.co/u1v2ONkDex https://t.co/yB9Yh4FSZh — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I hoped for when starting the Up for Debate newsletter was to share starkly different perspectives on an issue so that readers could better understand how others were feeling and why. This week's reader emails on Covid do that. https://t.co/T4vWDMnb3a — PolitiTweet.org

@thrasherxy I am not a nihilist and did not write "let's stop debate." I wrote that if Omicron spread uncontrolled in NZ that would end one debate. As it turns out, it has not spread uncontrolled, and that too tells us something. — PolitiTweet.org

@jessesingal 1. Cut pizza slice into small pieces. Put in pan crust down. 2. Wait for bottom to get crispy. 3. Add eggs and scramble. Crispy crusty cheese eggs await! — PolitiTweet.org

@jessesingal I like scrambled eggs with leftover naan. Also, I hesitate to add any more pizza to your diet... but a friend recently made me pizza eggs––scrambled eggs with cut up pieces of leftover pizza in it––and my goodness it was delicious. — PolitiTweet.org

From the Economist: "The first reliable records of an official mission from Japan to China date to 238ad, when a Japanese queen dispatched a delegation to China’s Wei kingdom, offering as tribute ten slaves." Depressing to ponder how long humans practiced slavery. — PolitiTweet.org
