I sometimes feel bad that the average rating I give out on Letterboxed is so high but then I step back and remember that I’m not watching a random sample of movies — I’m deliberately seeking out films I have reason to believe will be good. — PolitiTweet.org

People seem to spend a lot of time reading articles from sources they regard as unreliable and then getting mad at the articles … doesn’t seem like a great use of one’s finite time. — PolitiTweet.org

Normal people are often frustrated by the level of gridlock and partisanship in Washington, which is genuinely frustrating, but a lot of them comes from the sincerity — a bunch of cigar-chomping cynics would find it easier to cut deals. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
This is the thing The West Wing conveys better than any other fictional account of politics — there’s a strain of Washington that is really earnest and sincere that tends not to be dramatized because it’s not as obviously fun as more sinister depictions. https://t.co/yeSKtRpPBN https://t.co/FC33fZ7sPw — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
There is opportunism and grifting and clowns and so much more in politics but you really cannot make sense of the major events in national affairs if you don’t appreciate the role of the large number of earnest people who sincerely believe in what they are doing. — PolitiTweet.org

Once upon a time “The West Wing is good” was one of those simple truths that all could acknowledge, but like so much else it was ruined by the 2016 primary. https://t.co/yeSKtRpPBN https://t.co/lfBhYWLntK — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Today’s Slow Boring post is about The West Wing, which is in fact the best fictional depiction of American politics and an all-around good show to watch that teaches plenty of useful and important lessons. https://t.co/yeSKtRpPBN — PolitiTweet.org

Excited to be in a haplogroup with “extremely recent origins” not like the losers with newfangled ones. https://t.co/bP6Avpa342 — PolitiTweet.org

Conversely, walk around Hanoi at six feet tall and you suddenly feel like you’re ready for the NBA draft. Highly recommended. — PolitiTweet.org

This doesn’t mean the “induced demand” argument is wrong btw — oftentimes the thing people want to accomplish is reduced traffic congestion and if your new roads induce new demand that won’t work. Pricing really is the solution to traffic jams. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Popular, non-contrarian opinion that will only play as not those things if you are too online: If a highway-widening project induces a lot of demand and fails to reduce congestion, that just shows it is providing transportation services that people value. — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 Trump shifted the main axis of culture warring and then the rising salience of trans issues altered the valance of “guy who’s really outspoken about his belief in the importance of being scrupulously accurate about biological science.” — PolitiTweet.org

$1 trillion platinum coin? That’s absurd. 1 billion of these totally normal coins that have been sold for years without controversy? That’s just common sense. — PolitiTweet.org

I think Jay Powell should show his support for the Bill of Rights by adding some of these uncontroversially legal non-circulating platinum coins to the Fed balance sheet. https://t.co/UMR46eCZr6 https://t.co/xF41FxO1tq — PolitiTweet.org
