I think when you understand that context plus the Hunter Biden laptop imbroglio you get a sense of the — relatively modest — scale of changes that are likely coming. — PolitiTweet.org

Something I learned tonight is that many reasonably well informed people don’t know how central the specific Babylon Bee Twitter ban was to @elonmusk’s interest in the Twitter moderation issue. https://t.co/W1T5ZvsaWx — PolitiTweet.org

@policytensor @M_C_Klein @BuddyYakov @EricLevitz It does seem like Russia’s strategy has backfired badly (see also Finland & Sweden joining NATO) and they should try to reverse course sooner rather than later. — PolitiTweet.org

Here @jessesingal reveals the true nature of the grift — you try to write good articles even if the upshot is unfashionable among the leftmost 15% of the population. https://t.co/UNovicXAhO — PolitiTweet.org

This realignment is good for liberals’ sense of superiority but it’s probably bad electorally and for the general health of the country. Need to bring back the old vibes where people talked about Diebold and Bush’s secret audio device. — PolitiTweet.org

Populist affect (which can range from innocuous to dangerously violent) used to be independent of left-right alignment but has come to be associated with support for or opposition to Trump. https://t.co/CYLUYsG9GO https://t.co/qfLLVaT3En — PolitiTweet.org

There used to be a fairly even distribution of cranks across the parties but there’s been a large move of former leftist cranks into the right. https://t.co/al19FTz9RE https://t.co/eEmXwsFcVc — PolitiTweet.org

Honestly it’s the long tail of the Crank Realignment in action. — PolitiTweet.org

Another good idea! Picking exactly which features to prioritize is hard, but fundamentally this is what Twitter needs — more/better features to improve the product so everyone can have a better time or get more value out of having followers. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

When you get the list of who follows you, it should be possible to sort it so you can see your own most popular followers — yesterday I found out by accident that Arnold Schwarzenegger follows me! https://t.co/aK5ITEvR4B — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

This won’t attract as much attention as more overtly political moderation stuff, but what Twitter really needs is ongoing product improvement — you should be able to schedule tweets for deletion (or mass delete old ones) without using a third party service, for example. — PolitiTweet.org

The other thing about fare-beaters is it is by definition hard to tell who is illegally carrying a concealed handgun. If you arrest people who are visibly breaking minor rules and search them, you can generate gun cases without needing to do “stop and frisk” on innocent people. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Few in history have delivered as much shareholder value relative to overall market conditions as @paraga and it’s appropriate that he’s going out with healthy compensation. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I bet lots of people think it’s a good idea to enforce the rules but few of them will say it on Twitter so I’ll say it — fare evasion is not the biggest problem in the world but it’s good to enforce the rules. — PolitiTweet.org
