Weird floor plans with windowless bedrooms are the housing solution America needs right now. https://t.co/MXnyBJUcZw — PolitiTweet.org

The funniest part of federal appellate judging is that in addition to being basically fake, it’s all done by interns anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

An amazing fact about lawyers is that the question of who gets which internships is genuinely significant. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidNeiwert What happened here is that @oneunderscore__ made a specific claim about electoral impact and I said that I disagree with that claim. Then @ElieNYC mischaracterized what I said and there’s all kinds of dumb controversy swirling around. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the many oddities of the rise of education polarization is that "prominent rich businessman has right-wing political opinions" has taken on an air of man bites dog. — PolitiTweet.org

@ElieNYC Elie, I have no desire to tone police you I would just like you to correctly state what we are disagreeing about. — PolitiTweet.org

But I stand by the substance of my claim — bringing back the gas chamber meme accounts from 2016 will make my life less pleasant but reminding journalists of how shitty Blake Masters’ scumbag fan club is isn’t going to improve his media coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile I note a certain irony in taking this tone in a post that’s about how threats and harassment are bad! — PolitiTweet.org

I didn’t say “it’s not a big deal” I said the electoral impact is ambiguous and unpredictable. It’s really difficult to have a productive exchange of ideas when people willfully mischatacterize claims and leap to name-calling. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not some mystery, Twitter’s moderation reflects a sincere (if somewhat misguided) view about the merits of protecting people from harmful content it’s not a message-optimization exercise. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

If you tried hard to bias a social media network in favor of electorally helpful messages, I’m sure you could pull that off. But that’s not what Twitter’s moderation policies have amounted to, they kick off the *least* appealing figures. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

IMO the relationship between Twitter content moderation policies and electoral outcomes is a little ambiguous — letting Trump back on here almost certainly good for Dems, letting more Nazis and bigots back on also probably good for Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Hell yeah I’m a longtermist (guy who has his weekend planned out already on Tuesday) — PolitiTweet.org

I would love to see a single reporter who covered the ~~emails~~ beat in 2016 do a retrospect on whether single-issue classified information handling voters were well-served by the overall tenor and balance of the coverage. https://t.co/PwPyn2U6Fl — PolitiTweet.org

Now he just needs to sweeten the offer a little and broker that Russia/Ukraine peace deal. — PolitiTweet.org

@Incilin @DKThomp Each scene needs to carry so much narrative load that there isn’t a lot of opportunity to really consider “does this make sense as a depiction of how this specific interaction would play out?” — PolitiTweet.org

I’m torn because I think it’s a very troubled show for this reason, but it also is kind of cool to be using “franchise privilege” to do formal experimentation in the normally very conservative medium of television (same as WandaVision). — PolitiTweet.org

If someone files a lawsuit that’s one thing but I don’t think we should hype up this cheap talk “considering our options” stuff. If you’ve got a strong case, you file the case. — PolitiTweet.org

@bendreyfuss It’s because they didn’t give us money!! — PolitiTweet.org

But if every white collar worker in the country simultaneously decides he wants more space at home this is a big problem for the marginal renter — even in a YIMBYtopia the housing stock can only expand so fast. https://t.co/28FxNsbTb2 — PolitiTweet.org
