Was the exclusion of Spielberg’s filmography from the Sight & Sound best movies list the result of Russian disinformation? We have to ask the question… — PolitiTweet.org

RT @robbysoave: @mattyglesias The social media suppression gave it far, far more attention than it would have gotten otherwise, IMO. So man… — PolitiTweet.org

People who think the main way voters get their information is from Twitter rather than from television news are people who spend too much time on Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

This was a good piece by @KenDilanianNBC and @Tom_Winter that ran before the 2020 election about the laptop and its contents — Twitter shouldn’t have done what it did but their decision didn’t stop major outlets from covering the story. https://t.co/A7QCEV1HCD — PolitiTweet.org

The thing about Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story in fall 2020 is that it was covered on television and in newspapers and so I’m not really convinced that Twitter’s decision made a big difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Good story about kids’ efforts to appear “less Asian” in their college applications to avoid the discrimination everyone knows happens but it’s impolite to talk about. https://t.co/C4Cf5BHE1G — PolitiTweet.org

I would not be a very effective Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court because I don’t actually know how anything works. https://t.co/xaLS6Pw8qW https://t.co/DhZ3a2WaUP — PolitiTweet.org

Okay, folks, historian here — this is what Ye gets wrong about Adolf Hitler. Buckle up: (1/27) — PolitiTweet.org

Musk is Friday news dumping the Hunter story while purporting to hype it up? — PolitiTweet.org

To me, a good use of machine learning would be to track in real-time how "rated" various things are, because I think a lot of overrated/underrated discussions actually turn on disagreements about what the conventional wisdom is. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Meritocracy is overrated not so much because it's bad as because it is rated extremely highly. Disruption is underrated; people don't understand the idea properly but it's very powerful. Free markets are correctly rated — good but not perfect, which is what everyone thinks. — PolitiTweet.org

@janecoaston @DLind It's honestly offensive. — PolitiTweet.org

We don't have historical examples of automation leading to *generalized disemployment* but we have lots of examples of specific sectors vanishing or shrinking dramatically. — PolitiTweet.org

This seems to me like an inherently unstable and short-lived paradigm. — PolitiTweet.org

I reconciled myself to "middle-aged" status when I turned 40 but this is a brutal assault on people in their late thirties. https://t.co/PmMD2YA8lt — PolitiTweet.org

The first amendment itself is a glorious document and I'm glad we have it in a way that Europe doesn't, but what it practically does is preserve companies' right to pick their own censorship regimes rather than prescribe or prohibit any specific approach. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

That seems fine to me — we're living in a large and diverse society in which some speech norms command a wider consensus than others, and it's appropriate for different businesses to adopt different approaches based on what stakeholders want. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Ye getting suspended for being overtly pro-Hitler illustrates that nobody actually wants to instantiate 1st Amendment free speech protections on Twitter the argument is just about drawing the line in a somewhat different place. https://t.co/AhvcwITatc https://t.co/TL99XnOSvN — PolitiTweet.org
