Slow Boring gross annualized subscription revenue up 10.1 percent year-of-year (nominal) — I think robust growth in this sector is going to be on voters' minds in the midterms. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp This is what I'm talking about. Also her parents' book One Point Safe was adapted into the George Clooney / Nicole Kidman movie "The Peacemaker." Tons of opportunities for weird crossovers. — PolitiTweet.org

@mw99456 Biden’s policies are good — highest average monthly production of oil and gas of any administration ever, plus historic investments in zero carbon energy. — PolitiTweet.org

The world is going to need a lot more energy as poor countries become less poor and as rich countries hopefully continue to get richer — the focus should be on clean > dirty but also on more rather than less. https://t.co/8irpi1OwHk — PolitiTweet.org

It’s now turning around, but “produce less fossil fuels while still consuming them” never made sense as an environmental policy. It’s the consumption that drives the emissions. https://t.co/aSkj0huZia — PolitiTweet.org

European countries deciding not to develop domestic natural gas because the future was renewables, but then just actually using lots of Russian gas seems like it was maybe not a great idea. https://t.co/jozlIo7oT6 — PolitiTweet.org

Teaching everyone reading and math is hard, especially when a lot of students are coming from tough home environments & have other problems. We should focus on getting the core job done with adequate resources, not have schools take on extra missions. https://t.co/xsrXc6Vo65 — PolitiTweet.org

So by all means give students “culturally relevant” material to keep them engaged and learning; but the point really is to build the basic skills. https://t.co/xsrXc6Vo65 https://t.co/ZG1OLiwWS1 — PolitiTweet.org

Good citizens should be able to navigate basic questions about finance but as @Dr_AnnaLusardi finds most people’s math skills are too weak to do compound interest. https://t.co/xsrXc6Vo65 https://t.co/eHToujLWLk — PolitiTweet.org

A good citizen should be able to read the smart books about American history, but the average American adult’s literacy level is too low for that. https://t.co/xsrXc6Vo65 https://t.co/nqPTSOrFyp — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s not a coincidence that the people who really play up the importance of citizenship education also end up downplaying the importance of education — they are fundamentally underrating the basics. https://t.co/xsrXc6Vo65 https://t.co/peqkbj95wC — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Controversial take from me — schools should really focus on teaching kids basic reading, writing, and math skills and not worry so much about whether they are receiving the Correct Interpretation of History or whatever. https://t.co/xsrXc6Vo65 — PolitiTweet.org

US oil production in June 2022 was below the June 2019 level but higher than every other June on record. 2022 as a whole is clearly tracking to be the #2 year for US crude production — below 2019 but above the Trump average. https://t.co/fmOsYj8G6F — PolitiTweet.org

The current situation is painful for both sides — it’s such a dumb thing to say but Putin could make everyone (very much including Russians!) better off by changing course. https://t.co/1xYv5xuhWU — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not an “omg everything is Munich!” guy but it really does seem like if Europe were to give in to Russian energy squeeze tactics they’d be inviting endless future problems. — PolitiTweet.org
