The 2020 polling slightly overstated the GOP’s actual performance. People who argued the polling was overstating GOP odds based on reading the entrails of the early vote turned out to be correct about the outcome, but the *reason* had nothing to do with differential turnout. — PolitiTweet.org

@Hold2LLC @marr75 Your reply here captures the mindset I am trying to get away from. You maybe found my post annoying. I don’t care. He maybe found my post annoying. I also don’t care. I found his reply annoying so I blocked. It’s not about fairness it’s about blocking everyone who annoys me. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@Hold2LLC The guy is a stranger I have no relationship with. He shows up to disagree with me while offering zero specific factual information to enlighten me with, just an argumentative tone. I found the experience slightly — and I want to emphasize very slightly — annoying. Block. — PolitiTweet.org

This is also why I thought the downvotes feature was good and wish Twitter made that a regular thing — “your post was bad” (not just unengaging) is feedback the world needs. — PolitiTweet.org

To me it’s important to block people who are being annoying, I want them to know “at least one person thought my behavior was annoying and took time out of his busy day to do something about it.” Important positive externalities from showing people. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias I’d just mute if I found the person annoying, but we all use social media differently.

This is a good example of the kind of bad I’m striving for. Was this tweet abusive? Harassing? Hateful? No, no, no, no. But I did find it very slightly obnoxious, not really uninformative, and it came from someone I have no relationship with. Gonna block. — PolitiTweet.org

A big problem with low frequencies is that not only is this not-so-convenient it makes the stakes of hitting the 1:57 bus relatively high so you end up needing to build in a buffer time. Cut it to 10 minute headways and you can forget about the schedule and just show up and go. https://t.co/qxCBRp0KBc — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 Yes — but I think the fact that we ended up essentially where we started shows something about the wisdom of that initial prescription as an achievable, beneficial goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Got a little lax about blocking over the past couple of weeks and have lived to regret it, so be on notice — my goal is to be always lowering the threshold for blocking people. — PolitiTweet.org

Over time vaccination, accumulated immunity from prior infections, improved treatment options, etc make it viable to operate a non-NPI society — not with zero burden of Covid (it would be better if this hadn’t happened!) but without the concern that we won’t be able to treat. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Nowadays if you say anything about Covid you’re guaranteed to get screamed at by the people who insist all NPIs were a mistake and by the people who insist anything short of Covid Zero is eugenics. But “restrict activity enough so the sick can be treated properly” made sense. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The concern was that when the raw number of cases got too high, the *death rate* would soar due to incapacity to deliver treatments, and we needed to prevent that. This was an important reason not to “let ’er rip” but also a much more modest goal than Covid Zero. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Covid discourse has become such a cesspool of ill-will and polarization but it’s interesting to go back to the original wave of public health communication about NPIs and the need to “flatten the curve” — I think we mostly achieved it! — PolitiTweet.org

The good news is that it is not hard to find efficiency-promoting reforms that are also equality-promoting — many of our leaky buckets of redistribution are redistributing resources upward. https://t.co/P3JPpCEWWF — PolitiTweet.org
