Appreciated on my Tár rewatch that Lydia Tár (who is not real) name-checks Hildur Guðnadóttir who not only is real but composed the score to Tár. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the streamers needs to buy the rights to Piranha 2: The Spawning so we can become Cameron completists before The Way of Water comes out — am I really going to have to pay money to rent this? — PolitiTweet.org

@JaphethMcGee Right but elite liberals are voluntarily choosing not to inject this issue into electoral politics even though it would please their base and be popular with voters. — PolitiTweet.org

To improve accountability in urban policing, you need to make more people — and ideally a broader range of people — want to be police officers. Which is in part about money but also in part about who valorizes law enforcement careers. https://t.co/BPQPdD6KJb https://t.co/ca3vYJwpvt — PolitiTweet.org

I launched some discourse about the NYT's approach to covering technology a little while back, and I'll just say I think it's striking that this is their view of the tech landscape this week rather than anything about the GPT chatbot. https://t.co/eGeJsNgvsR — PolitiTweet.org

We have a coalition of religious people on the right and disability advocates on the left who've been doing a pretty good job of keeping euthanasia low-salience and out of electoral politics, trying to wield it as a partisan cudgel is likely to backfire. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Everyone is entitled to a dose of hypocrisy on populism vs elitism, but it's important to actually be aware of which is which and what side you're on. US conservatives tend to misunderstand the dynamics on this topic, their enemies here aren't lib elites but the mass public. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Much of the contemporary right promulgates the idea that these kind of elite consensuses are all bad, that the institutions are off the rails, and we need to reclaim society for the wisdom of the common man. That would mean becoming more Canadian on suicide not avoiding it. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Euthanasia and medically assisted suicide are both broadly popular in the United States and they're being kept mostly illegal by a reasonably strong cross-party elite consensus that this is a bad idea. https://t.co/y62aK6G0pr https://t.co/LwNUFg1CMb — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Interesting @DouthatNYT column on medically assisted suicide in Canada as an example of liberalism run off the rails, but I think he should also examine this through the lens of populism. https://t.co/oOpbclGxNb — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 Yes but theoretically the point of federalism is states could undertake local projects that make sense locally — the problem (as we saw so painfully with California HSR) is execution. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s sort of funny how poorly suited the population geography of France is for high-speed rail compared to the northeastern United States. https://t.co/Z5yBreHpZV — PolitiTweet.org

Most likely the views of educated people are overrepresented and the views of old people underrepresented in available training text so GPT output skews toward center-left views relative to the general population. — PolitiTweet.org
