I was explaining this book to my 7yo who asked what a boarding school was so I told him and he says “why would anyone want to do that?!” and I said “my mom told me it’s because WASPs don’t love their kids” and my wife, a person experiencing Anglo-Saxon Protestantism, got mad. https://t.co/UgQN6Gh9CY — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s really underrated how much the recent spike in homelessness is a mechanical consequence of remote work making people want bigger/less crowded homes — demand shift was much too fast for supply to keep pace. https://t.co/28FxNsbTb2 — PolitiTweet.org

I think if you actually could convert 5% of DC’s office stock to housing that would make a huge dent in the vacancy rate and do a lot to stabilize the local economy. — PolitiTweet.org

My predicting got better in my second year of doing it, but I was still systematically overconfident in a way I’m going to try to fix. Wish more columnists would try this game — it is difficult and humbling. https://t.co/lagm4mOAIH https://t.co/4xQzQpZLqS — PolitiTweet.org

In their #TwitterFiles reporting, @bariweiss, @mtaibbi, @ShellenbergerMD etc confirmed that Twitter content moderation can be implemented in biased undisclosed ways. Musk has made no structural changes to address that and is terrified of angering Xi — I worry. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
We've seen a lot of companies and people go down this road — it's hardly unique — but a critical fact about the prior leadership at Twitter (and Facebook etc) is they rejected the Apple/LeBron/Musk path and the implications of change there are my #1 worry about ElonTwitter. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Again, I point to Musk's silence in terms of criticizing the PRC on: — Zero Covid — Free speech — Lab leak Because we *know* these are topics he has very strong personal feelings on but nonetheless feels even more strongly that "keep Xi Jinping happy" is top priority. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
It's interesting that @elonmusk not only subscribes to Covid lab leak theory but doesn't seem to view the PRC as having any culpability for a pandemic that, on this theory, leaked from a Chinese lab and was covered up by the Chinese government. https://t.co/MUS8W94esC — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeMitchNH @ReubenR80027912 I think one issue here is that the original "bro" archetype was *always* somewhat vague so it leant itself to all kinds of expansions — not just tech bros but also bernie bros and substack bros — with the only core semantic content being "male-in-a-bad-way" — PolitiTweet.org

Contemporary writing (tweets, texts, DMs, macro text on Instagram images or TikTok videos) has taken on the plasticity of oral culture while supercharging the broad distribution of print. Very innovative linguistic landscape where it's hard for words to retain meaning. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In an oral culture, language evolves rapidly but large-scale dissemination of innovations is hard. Mass literacy lets linguistic changes spread rapidly, but the nature the printing industry is to induce linguistic conservatism (style guides etc) and slow change. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Linguistic inflation — "bro" going from evoking a pretty specific archetype to becoming a very vague "man I don't like" — is extremely common in human society and seems to happen faster than ever thanks to the internet. See also "woke" on the other side. — PolitiTweet.org
