Back when stars rather than IP could open movies, they would crank out stuff with the most bizarre premise and we’d just show up to the theater and watch it. — PolitiTweet.org

I hate to be serious, but I really think it’s ill-advised to leak stuff relating to the Trump documents investigation. Like it’s fun and all, but the public interest in better served by the book. I promise back to irony and jokes after this. — PolitiTweet.org

I love this photo because it invokes primal reactions in people. They are the couple everyone wishes they were in high school They represent the summun of popularity and success Those who fall short this ideal cannot help but feel the sting of envy A mirror into your soul https://t.co/dtPRqGLKxV — PolitiTweet.org

According to @JoHenrich, stigmatization of cousin marriage beyond what’s strictly medically necessary was key to combatting amoral familism as a social norm and thus to the emergence of the rule of law and other good things. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin @Ed_Realist Well and even so we got back in person in February 2021 when the DC charters will still closed and when most Black DCPS students voluntarily stayed virtual. My friends who moved west “for the good schools” had trouble getting in-person spots but at diverse Garrison it was easy. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@NateSilver538 @Ed_Realist To an extent, sure. But I think the charter/DCPS contrast is important here, the whole point of charter schools is to reduce union influence relative to parental influence and the result was more Covid caution not less. — PolitiTweet.org

Everytime a place I went back when I was young and fun closes, I suddenly want to throw all my principles overboard and become a hardcore preservationist. https://t.co/Q4AypamhGD — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The closures were disastrous, but the problem for @reason's ideology is that the disaster was being *too responsive to consumer demand* when an effective public education system requires a certain amount of coercion. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

And as @PerryStein kept reporting, during the partial reopening phase the schools in the low-income neighborhoods were the ones that struggled to convince families to go back to in-person schooling. https://t.co/A7yQHUUQuZ — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I was vehemently against school closures, but this framing really underscores how neglected @Ed_Realist's point about family demand is. In DC, for example, the charter schools reopened slower and with stricter Covid protocols than the public schools. — PolitiTweet.org
