@sacca Exactly — if someone is being annoying at a party you walk away. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
“Pre-midterm polling tends to move sharply against the in-party during the final month of the campaign” is one of those empirical regularities that is very well-established but I think not particularly well-understood in terms of *why* it happens so it still surprises people. — PolitiTweet.org

The single best way anyone can improve their twitter experience is to block more people, making faster judgments and lowering the bar for blocking. If someone's being a bad hang on here, block 'em. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
If I've blocked you it's probably because you said something kinda annoying that didn't seem like a big deal to you, but I have >500,000 followers so annoyance adds up fast and life is too short to spend your time feeling annoyed. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think this was the right choice. The majority/not-majority binary is very significant so maximizing the number of seats you win in a neutral cycle is more important than minimizing losses in an R+5 year. — PolitiTweet.org

With today's "bad news" of many job openings, a reminder that a good way to address the downsides of strong labor demand is to promote pro-efficiency policies rather than the recessionary thinking that you want to "create jobs." https://t.co/4h1lX2C8Jg — PolitiTweet.org

Seems like a bad take to me but if the new president of Brazil wants to try to mediate that wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

If you drive around with a bad map, you're going to get lost! It's not a sin or a profound moral failing, but you do need to go procure an accurate map and retrace your decisions. https://t.co/qvvSBjo6PF — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think "boring technical problems with surveys" is an underrated answer to hot button questions like "why did Hillary lose" or "how come Dem House candidates did poorly in 2020"? https://t.co/Jlw3CfGz8D https://t.co/TbeugaxmZI — PolitiTweet.org

If you think the job is just to do optimism all the time, then TargetSmart has you covered. But what is actually the point of that? https://t.co/2uLa1d2z3P — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
When the votes are in, maybe DfP's numbers will prove prescient and maybe they won't. But the point of publicly releasing them is to try to get it right, in hopes that will make people listen to them when they publish analysis on issue-positioning and messages. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
It's interesting that the embedded assumption here is that the correct role of a progressive data organization is to produce optimistic assessments of the electoral landscape rather than to try to do accurate ones. https://t.co/emcgTz284C — PolitiTweet.org

You have to keep reading Russian literary classics despite the invasion of Ukraine because the weird end to Anna Karenina (spoiler alert) where Vronsky reacts to adverse life events by getting really into pan-slavism now seems relevant and important. — PolitiTweet.org

You can parachute into Twitter and make some big policy changes, but what the company needs is sustained focus on iterative product improvements. Musk seems well-suited to leading that but it also does seem like a zero-sum competition with working on Tesla software. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
My odds would be higher if turning around Twitter were Musk’s singular focus but the guy is running multiple other companies. https://t.co/AhvcwJaLRM — PolitiTweet.org

@MHendi35 I think the topline revenue growth was so strong that, yeah, they didn’t put a lot of emphasis on building “up or out” systems. — PolitiTweet.org

On Fox News you're not allowed to talk about tax policy or Republicans' plan to create a debt ceiling crisis in order to try to force Social Security cuts. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
My strong guess is that at the end of the day content moderation changes at Twitter won't be that large — they will veto slurs that Democrats and Republicans agree are part, not things that only progressives think are bad. https://t.co/AhvcwJaLRM https://t.co/hXpFGOQptq — PolitiTweet.org
