The haters scared me off but I’m a Hydrogen Guy again thanks to this poster. — PolitiTweet.org

Low interest rates encourage investments that swing for the fences even with a high rate of failure, higher rates shift time preference and risk-appetite in favor of contact hitting. https://t.co/VSUCWznryw — PolitiTweet.org

It seems like an easy way to increase rail mode share on the Northeast Corridor would be to get rid of the cafe cars and replace them with more seats. There is food for sale at the stations. — PolitiTweet.org

@atrembath Are people now going to start bragging about their low-efficacy charitable giving to evade the taint of SBF? I give money to my kid’s school PTO. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not sure this framework helps us explain why housing scarcity is more severe in some places rather than others. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanksgiving weekend and this train just departed Union Station with no cheese & crackers boxes — @PeteButtigieg is failing. — PolitiTweet.org

Why are commodities and securities regulated by separate agencies anyway — why not a unified “trading stuff” regulator? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@primalpoly I think a troubling sign of social, emotional, and intellectual dysfunction is that a large number of people who agree with what I wrote posted this kind of reply instead of just agreeing with me. — PolitiTweet.org

@PatrickRuffini It might work … I enjoy selling subscriptions — PolitiTweet.org

@wil_da_beast630 Agree on Nazis! — PolitiTweet.org

99 percent of the time it’s just attention-seeking behavior — there’s money to be made off trafficking in all kinds of overstatements, exaggeration, and crisis-mongering. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Everyone is responsible for their own actions, but it’s incumbent on everyone to ask what is the intended purpose of using maximally inflammatory rhetoric (“communists,” “groomers”) to describe policy disagreements. https://t.co/wm6kAAhbnQ — PolitiTweet.org

Has “use airstrikes to inflict suffering on civilians to get them to pressure the government into surrendering” ever worked? — PolitiTweet.org

@andymeyers10 People have been disagreeing with each other politely for thousands of years. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
In that view the real oddity of pre-Musk Twitter isn’t that they were too harsh on rightist edgelords but I think they were maybe too lax about the hammer & sickle crowd — brand advertising normally means optimizing for blandness. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The boring non-politics thing about Twitter is that unlike Facebook/Instagram/podcasts they never built a strong direct response ad business. When you’re relying on brand advertising direct adjacency to “ironic” frog nazis isn’t great. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
That seems like an important job at a company whose main source of revenue is brand advertising. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Ruffini @PatrickRuffini
This basically says that the entire function of the “trust and safety” team at Twitter was placating advertisers. https://t.co/xldZ1bTFyG

@karlbykarlsmith @olivertraldi @MattBruenig @DanRiffle @melfromstl_ @NebraskaMegan Yeah though this is also where teenage peer effects are a big deal. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Good thread here. Let me say more broadly it’s weird that the discourse has collapsed “thinks climate change is very unlikely to cause literal human extinction” and “thinks climate change is no big deal” — there is a broad middle ground here! — PolitiTweet.org

A ton of interesting stuff is happening in the economy and it all mostly tracks back to the Fed raising interest rates faster than people thought they would. https://t.co/VSUCWznryw — PolitiTweet.org

@olivertraldi @MattBruenig @DanRiffle @melfromstl_ @NebraskaMegan I'm sure you were better at it than I was. I'm just saying my students absolutely got better scores even though I was doing essentially nothing beyond saying "do the practice tests." — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
If you think I’m full of shit, that’s fine. If you want to show up in my mentions and *say* I’m full of shit, that’s rude and you’re blocked. Everyone needs to learn some manners. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Some more examples — would you say this to a stranger at a party? How would you react if someone said this to you? Block block block block. https://t.co/VoB1TkdwcB — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@eerac Right now I think the norm is just to too little blocking — I really want to encourage people to feel good about blocking over low-level rudeness. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@MattZeitlin Now that Effective Altruism has been discredited, I think getting America’s billionaires to invest in achieving US dominance in handball and other obscure sports should be top priority. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Good example — your duty as a citizen is to block people like this and encourage a norm of people trying to make pleasant conversational contributions. https://t.co/Z4AqtBDkgk — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Still want to insist the best thing you can do on here is block (not mute) more people. Ask yourself “if someone said this to me at a party, would I would think that guy was annoying and want to walk away?” If the answer is “yes” then block without hesitation or remorse. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Positive change in the Musk Era: — Fewer ads, better user experience Negative trend: — Doubt this is an actual product change but more rightists feel emboldens to reply to me in annoying ways with no offsetting decline in annoying leftists, need to block even more people. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@MattBruenig @DanRiffle @melfromstl_ @NebraskaMegan The value-add I provided as an LSAT tutor is that I would make the students actually do the practice tests — conscientiousness will get you far in life but it’s not something everyone has. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I personally enjoy Twitter a great deal, but you need to understand that fundamental aspects of the way it operates are emotional quicksand designed to make you angry and annoyed. — PolitiTweet.org
