Twitter is a good candidate for layoff guinea pig because this leveraged buyout has left them with interest service obligations that basically *require* cost-cutting. But if it's seen as working, expect the trend to spread. — PolitiTweet.org

I can't evaluate this vibe shift or exactly why it happened, but it definitely happened. I used to hear all the time about the "war for talent" and the need to stockpile people, then the narrative flipped complete with VCs and CEOs blaming each other for the overstaffing. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
There's been a big vibe shift in favor of the idea that incumbent tech companies are massively overstaffed and Twitter seems likely to become the guinea pig for that theory. https://t.co/AhvcwJaLRM https://t.co/7WbAjc3V9s — PolitiTweet.org

Right now a lot of stuff is done by slightly janky third party apps that only weirdos use — these should be features for everyone. https://t.co/AhvcwJaLRM https://t.co/qXPWYsqltb — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter is going to succeed or fail based on whether the new owners can make the core product better — new features, new tools, a better experience for new users — not by changing the mechanics of content moderation. https://t.co/AhvcwJaLRM — PolitiTweet.org

Are you a fish biologist? Do you want to do agricultural economics research in Mandan, North Dakota? Be an auditor for a large hydroelectric project? Uncle Sam wants you — and more conservatives should step up to the plate. https://t.co/KpatQX0z85 — PolitiTweet.org

The Left controls "the Cathedral." Well what's the Cathedral? It's just media and academia. So does the left control Fox News? Sinclair broadcasting? AM talk radio? The Wall Street Journal? No that's not what we meant. Well what did you mean? You don't even know. — PolitiTweet.org

This is just an example of using obfuscatory jargon to avoid making clear claims. https://t.co/BYIkL5TyTG — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Yarvin's concept of the cathedral could not be more straightforward, he has said many times it just means media+academia.

@psychosort If he'd used normal words like you're proposing then we could begin to have a cogent conversation. Is the idea that Trump should have banned CNN? — PolitiTweet.org

Folks, what happened here is that the share of disabled people who were able to get jobs went up thanks to a strong labor market. — PolitiTweet.org

This strikes me as a good example — I frequently hear people characterizing the politics of crime almost exclusively through the lens of the dog whistle concept, but "crime is no big deal" is actually the peculiar perspective of white liberals. https://t.co/WfEC7Bad2f — PolitiTweet.org

In my last mailbag, I got a question about the Race-Class Narrative approach which I tend to agree with in theory. But in practice I tend to find myself disagreeing with RCN people, especially with their overly broad tendency to call "dog whistle." https://t.co/Zw3JfufmPP https://t.co/CRSWDpa8PF — PolitiTweet.org

This seems like a real concern to me, there are a lot of good pseudonymous accounts that aren't spoofing anyone and the network will lose value if they are cast aside. How to support pseudonymity without encouraging fakers is the problem verification has never solved. — PolitiTweet.org

@KragAggro Charging power users for valuable features is a great idea and it’s exactly what Twitter should do. What I’m saying is that right now the blue checkmark has near-zero value and if you charge money for it, it will have negative value. — PolitiTweet.org

I have my doubts about some of the characters they’ve nominated this year but you’ve got to admit that if Republicans had controlled the senate back in 2020 they never would have allowed that huge crime surge we’re still living with today. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
This is what I’m talking about — it’s total madness. If verification cost money, I would be embarrassed to be verified even if Twitter offered to do it for free. The idea is absurd. https://t.co/IkERuLdHMG — PolitiTweet.org

@mmasnick I think the decision not to cash out at a time when Musk is paying a huge premium over the market value is noteworthy on its own terms — PolitiTweet.org
