We need to have policing, but we also need policing to be better. I think that means we need some creative efforts to get more different types of people interested in doing police work. https://t.co/tYOmzLCMYO — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously having Black officers is no guarantee against misconduct, but I think the evidence does support the view that making departments more representative of the communities they police improves things on average. https://t.co/qinasU75pd — PolitiTweet.org

The thesis of the article is that it was bad for journalists to inaccurately characterize what Tom Cotton was saying, which I think is true regardless of where the virus came from. https://t.co/lRjzfxZGW6 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I’m confident it won’t, but I hope that if this episode mentions me it engages with what the article actually said. — PolitiTweet.org

@nathan_a_tanner @IfBooksPod I’m not sure “many virologists agree there’s no need for stricter regulation of virology labs” is particularly strong evidence for anything. — PolitiTweet.org

@milansingh03 That’s what I’m saying, all this stuff works as little behavioral hacks but then people invent new ways to undermine it. — PolitiTweet.org

@HistoryBoomer All the stuff Rufo talks about is real but so are all these “racist teacher” incidents that go viral in separate sectors. The school shootings that liberals worry about are real too. But in all cases following the news too closely will generate a misleading impression. https://t.co/QsxZq1YrP9 — PolitiTweet.org

The human mind is simply not prepared to exist in a national or even global media environment where we learn more about outlandish happenings in states we don’t live in than about the routine activities of the elected officials who actually represent us and govern our community. — PolitiTweet.org

“How could I be hearing 2-3 stories per week about this unless it was happening everywhere?” Because you’re hearing about a non-random sample that compromises less than 1 percent of the total! The same with our understanding of many local institutions. — PolitiTweet.org

There are > 100,000 schools in America and unless it’s your kid’s school, on any given day you’re most likely to hear about the *least* representative thing that happened at any of them creating the impression that this drumbeat of unrepresentative events is typical. — PolitiTweet.org

My sense is every diet succeeds regardless of the specific gimmick because it mechanically cuts down on snacking, but then every diet fails because the market creates new snacks that conform to the diet. Now there’s even snacks you can eat while fasting! https://t.co/TGQp2PRzeI — PolitiTweet.org

@nathan_a_tanner @IfBooksPod Well obviously I disagree with that assessment, hence my prior articles. But if there is fresh evidence that’s interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

But my assessment of the current status quo is that there are zero jurisdictions in the United States that believe: (1) Affordable housing would be desirable, and (2) Supply & demand are major factors in driving affordability — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I will believe that supply and demand are overemphasized when there is one American city whose policymakers say “because we want housing to be affordable, we are eliminating all restrictions on supply that don’t have a bona fide safety rationale.” — PolitiTweet.org
