Apart from today’s @thomaschattwill piece in Gawker that had to be retracted because it was totally fake, what is the point of this beat? https://t.co/saFuw0OV70 — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarro It does seem unfairly stigmatizing to monkeys, who are innocent victims of a rodent virus. But I’m not sure they care what we call it. — PolitiTweet.org

The other weird thing about Swiss trade data is their largest export is gold but there are no gold mines in Switzerland, it’s just that gold is also their largest import. — PolitiTweet.org

To an extent, I think this is what happens when you don't have a normal healthy amount of arbitrary/generational churn. People are hungry and ambitious, and if the only available path to upward mobility is to pick fights over new kookier ideas then that's what they'll do. — PolitiTweet.org

The mods, meanwhile, have a perverse tendency to blame the progs for their electoral problems when the actual issue is stances that *they themselves decided to adopt* in order to box out the progs and maintain control of the levers of power. — PolitiTweet.org

But to a large extent what the progs think is that the mods are bad people, who ought to be cast out from the circle of leadership and replaced with themselves. So instead of declaring victory, the progs espoused new further-left ideas to keep the feuding going. — PolitiTweet.org

If you look at the factional arguments that existed 10 years ago, what's happened is the *people* who were on the mod side are mostly still running everything but they adopted a very large share of the *ideas* that the prog side espoused at the time. — PolitiTweet.org

This @perrybaconjr column reminds me that there's a fundamental ambiguity in the way we talk about these factional divides — prog vs mod as the names of sets of ideas, and prog vs mod as the names of sets of people. https://t.co/RtGpX3EBfP — PolitiTweet.org

I've seen a lot of libertarian college professors transition to becoming more straightforward conservatives because the donors to and administrators of voluntary civil society organizations they are affiliated with started adopting ideas they don't like. It's kind of funny. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of progressives have talked about finding ways to curb inflation that don't just rely on higher interest rates and weakening the labor market. But what EA and now the White House are doing is genuinely walking the walk, not just doubling down on longstanding policy ideas. — PolitiTweet.org

This is totally wrong, in the United States immigrant life expectancy exceeds native-born life expectancy (I think because immigrants don't fully adopt American dietary habits) — if we limited to natives, US underperformance would be even more extreme. https://t.co/gLX3dfcvFi — PolitiTweet.org

In general, critiques of GDP are overrated. Only real problem is the Ireland/Luxembourg tax-motivated profit-shifting quirk and that itself highlights a genuine flaw in EU taxation policy that ought to be addressed. https://t.co/cLKX5EVerI https://t.co/4yhROmWxAu — PolitiTweet.org
