I'm a proponent of free speech broadly construed so I think we moderate the Slow Boring comments with a pretty light hand. But freedom to boot people on occasion is critical to making it functional and appealing. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
This 5th Circuit ruling that tech companies have no free speech right to decide what to publish or not is really disturbing — imagine applying this to book stores or newspaper letters or anything else and you'll see how backward it is. https://t.co/XkAi0jNovM — PolitiTweet.org

@FabiusMaximus01 @wesyang I agree with all of that, I don't know why you read my tweet as denying any of it. I'm perhaps more optimistic than you about the various parameters, but as stated you're clearly right — one of America's great strengths is our above-average "ability to assimilate." — PolitiTweet.org

@mjc565 That's true. My tweets are typed rather than spoken out loud. — PolitiTweet.org

The big Texas cities combine a cosmopolitan liberal outlook with a boosterish pro-housing regulatory framework and it’s pretty great. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the many oddities of duping Venezuelans in San Antonio to board a flight to Martha’s Vineyard to teach virtue signaling blue cities what it’s like to have immigrants is that San Antonio is already a diverse, pro-immigrant blue city. — PolitiTweet.org

Political economy note: Precisely because the new IDR rules create bad incentives, now congressional action to reduce college tuition will score as saving money rather than reducing revenue. — PolitiTweet.org

@lastpositivist @cafreiman My real citation is office gossip, but I think a tell is this passage in Law of People's where he calls immigration a "problem" (🤔) that he doesn't discuss because in a just world there wouldn't be any immigration so there is no need for a treatment of just migration policy. https://t.co/1JsEutqUWC — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@lastpositivist @cafreiman I think Rawls also had a very pessimistic view of the impact of immigration on the receiving country and was very keen to avoid the conclusion that rich countries have an obligation to allow more migrants from poor countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Can Russia reasonably expect to be as well-treated in a Chinese-dominated Sino-Russian alliance as resource-rich places like Canada, Norway, and Australia are in the democratic/western bloc? I would not take that bet. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
An underrated “realist” take on Russia-Ukraine is that it’s *Russia* that needs to take a more realistic assessment of where things stand and where its core interests lie and halt a disastrous course of action that’s at best going to make them an adjunct to China. — PolitiTweet.org

The Square Deal (TR), New Deal (FDR), and Fair Deal (Truman) were all intended as metaphors about playing cards not as metaphors about a social bargain. — PolitiTweet.org

Given the Malthusian logic of premodern economies, outside of wintertime the living standards should be highest in the North because so many people die off during the cold years while Dorne exists at bare subsistence all the time. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot Yeah I can buy that. At any rate, it’s why I now ask professors privately if they think there’s a practical problem with their pedagogy. There’s always something dumb happening, but I do want to know if people feel they can do their jobs responsibly. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot My recollection of when I was in college was that almost nobody cared about politics. — PolitiTweet.org

But with our modern sensibilities we naturally root for Rhaenyra against the sexist opposition to her — and good for us we’re so enlightened. It would land better, though, if we saw her taking an interest in governance and correcting her father’s flaws. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Viserys is I think the most interesting part of the show, a portrayal of someone who’s a bad king without being an ~~evil villain~~ type like you’d normally see on TV — he’s just not making sharp, savvy decisions and he’s going to lead the kingdom to some bad outcomes. — PolitiTweet.org

@evanmarckatz @bendreyfuss Your next book should be on how to attract a quality television network and get it to commit. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I feel like structurally HOTD needs us to be rooting for Rhaenyra to become Queen, but the show also doesn’t give us any indication that she’d be good at it or that the stakes in this are important. So you’re left with what’s almost an artsy character study — but with dragons. — PolitiTweet.org
