My predicting got better in my second year of doing it, but I was still systematically overconfident in a way I’m going to try to fix. Wish more columnists would try this game — it is difficult and humbling. https://t.co/lagm4mOAIH https://t.co/4xQzQpZLqS — PolitiTweet.org

About two percent of Cuba’s population have come to the United States in past year, now mostly arriving overland at the US-Mexico border. https://t.co/se3qqO9azt — PolitiTweet.org

In their #TwitterFiles reporting, @bariweiss, @mtaibbi, @ShellenbergerMD etc confirmed that Twitter content moderation can be implemented in biased undisclosed ways. Musk has made no structural changes to address that and is terrified of angering Xi — I worry. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
We've seen a lot of companies and people go down this road — it's hardly unique — but a critical fact about the prior leadership at Twitter (and Facebook etc) is they rejected the Apple/LeBron/Musk path and the implications of change there are my #1 worry about ElonTwitter. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Again, I point to Musk's silence in terms of criticizing the PRC on: — Zero Covid — Free speech — Lab leak Because we *know* these are topics he has very strong personal feelings on but nonetheless feels even more strongly that "keep Xi Jinping happy" is top priority. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
It's interesting that @elonmusk not only subscribes to Covid lab leak theory but doesn't seem to view the PRC as having any culpability for a pandemic that, on this theory, leaked from a Chinese lab and was covered up by the Chinese government. https://t.co/MUS8W94esC — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeMitchNH @ReubenR80027912 I think one issue here is that the original "bro" archetype was *always* somewhat vague so it leant itself to all kinds of expansions — not just tech bros but also bernie bros and substack bros — with the only core semantic content being "male-in-a-bad-way" — PolitiTweet.org

Contemporary writing (tweets, texts, DMs, macro text on Instagram images or TikTok videos) has taken on the plasticity of oral culture while supercharging the broad distribution of print. Very innovative linguistic landscape where it's hard for words to retain meaning. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In an oral culture, language evolves rapidly but large-scale dissemination of innovations is hard. Mass literacy lets linguistic changes spread rapidly, but the nature the printing industry is to induce linguistic conservatism (style guides etc) and slow change. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Linguistic inflation — "bro" going from evoking a pretty specific archetype to becoming a very vague "man I don't like" — is extremely common in human society and seems to happen faster than ever thanks to the internet. See also "woke" on the other side. — PolitiTweet.org

@atheistsquid You should either take a few deep breaths and then re-read my posts with a more generous frame of mind or else decide that my posts aren't worthy of being read generously and unfollow me. Don't torture yourself getting angry at misreadings of my work. — PolitiTweet.org

The best time for consumers is always when investors are willing to lose tons of money — cheap gasoline and Uber rides in the 2010s, cheap flights in the 1990s — but over the longer-term those deals usually go away. — PolitiTweet.org

Pre-Carter we used to have high prices, high quality, and low competition. Now we have low prices, low quality, and middling competition. For a while we had low prices, middling quality, and high competition — which was great — but the airlines were all losing money. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The thing about the crappiness of the post-2008 airline experience is that the prior paradigm involved the companies consistently losing money. https://t.co/nTBvvrp1dy — PolitiTweet.org

@jneeley78 Two distinct complaints: One is that conservative authors on this overemphasize vague hand-waving relative to policy but the other is they direct their vague hand-waving in a sloppy, inconsistent, and opportunistic way. — PolitiTweet.org

Like if I were to think of some recent examples of prominent people who have eroded norms of responsible fatherhood, I might name former president of the United States Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the richest man in America. But that's less convenient coalition politics. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
This piece is a good example of a trend on the right of social criticism that starts interesting but detours away from any kind of solutions or rigor in favor of vague class resentments. https://t.co/THFOzYQ9wI — PolitiTweet.org
