@nitingoel We’ll see. I’ve lived in this town for 20 years and nothing related to the bins has ever gone smoothly. — PolitiTweet.org

@DemocraticLuntz Anti-immigrant politics and anti-black politics had basically unrelated valences at that time, it was really only after World War II that immigration reform and civil rights came to be bundled together. — PolitiTweet.org

Language lessons for adult refugees have big benefits for their kids. In political terms you could probably frame this punitively (“we need to make these people learn Danish”) to appeal to more immigration-skeptical folks. https://t.co/tHOE3Di3Ex https://t.co/KmVAPdo3pi — PolitiTweet.org

@firasd Absolutely, markets are sometimes bad — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@firasd Absolutely. And I’m saying it’s bad — like how the market says it’s profitable to sell people Fritos or encourage people to become problem gamblers. — PolitiTweet.org

We know from research that internal locus of control helps people do better in life and ultimately be happier, but there’s a view that it leads to bad politics or undermines the push for systemic change. But in fact external locus makes people anti-social not agents of change. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
One of the worst intellectual fads of recent times has been the idea that encouraging people to cultivate external locus of control will advance social justice. https://t.co/g7T0wXtIqw https://t.co/UhhrzJELeJ — PolitiTweet.org

@firasd Stipulate that’s true — the point is television writers don’t have skills that could solve other more significant engineering problems. — PolitiTweet.org

The government would work better if well-functioning agencies were something people care about. Inattention and dysfunction are the fruit of constant culture warring. https://t.co/z3q5fuzvqY https://t.co/awqdcR9BQ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Anyways, “tech” does so many great things for the world — that particular company makes a lot of money employing a lot of smart people to do something that has very little value. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve seen the best minds of my generation wasting huge amounts of their lives trying to induce others to waste more time scrolling social media feeds in order to sell more ad inventory. https://t.co/z3q5fuzvqY https://t.co/O3C1loRZrd — PolitiTweet.org

What kind of RINO believes in evolution? — PolitiTweet.org

Ah evolution. Ugly men make more sperm than attractive men because they don't get as many chances to deposit it. http://tinyurl.com/l9xeqb

Golden is so good. I’m afraid he’ll narrowly lose while dramatically overperforming the fundamentals and be forgotten but he ought to be a model nationally for how to win in more conservative areas. — PolitiTweet.org

I think that’s the right choice for the show, but it’s a choice. They deliberately *avoid* emphasizing how far back in the past those events are. But if you wanted to make an “aughts” showing playing up the differences you totally could. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
One thing that’s interesting is that, as an artistic choice, they do not emphasize the “period” aspects of Better Call Saul’s setting — they don’t work in references to Bush-era politics or music. But it was a long time ago, objectively. — PolitiTweet.org

I can trick myself into thinking stuff hasn’t changed that much since I started college, but I was using Pine for email, dorms didn’t have WiFi, “unlimited night and weekend minutes,” was a big consideration, and there was no age-polarization in voting behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

When I was 15, events from 20 years ago felt like the distant past. Now that I’m 41, that’s no longer the case. [7,000 RTs] — PolitiTweet.org

@nbashaw My actual texan father in law making the switch to pellets is what has me intrigued — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
With so much conservative policy writing, I'm intrigued by the ideas at some level of abstraction but then I keep reading and re-reading and not seeing the part where they actually explain what the proposal is. How does this work? https://t.co/S3pcPx58eB https://t.co/WVa8wTdzyc — PolitiTweet.org

Should I get a pellet smoker? And if so should I go with Traeger or is there some smaller shop that’s better? — PolitiTweet.org

@davidshor @MattZeitlin @Wertwhile @revhowardarson @Lis_Smith There was a freshman Senator from Illinois who also chatted a lot on and off the record with the national press when he got to DC. — PolitiTweet.org

@RogueWPA @davidshor I think it is probably more effective as applied to Latin American immigration, where everyone is already obsessed with narrow partisan impacts. — PolitiTweet.org

@DanielMillerEsq Thip Khao (Lao), Maikan (Malaysian), Doi Moi (Vietnamese), or Baan Siam (Thai) would be my suggestions. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@Wertwhile @davidshor @revhowardarson That’s one effective tactic. Another I think is to try to fight with companies on social media. But also sensible politicians should try to actually engage with journalists — it’s surprisingly rare. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbashaw @cwarzel My mother was an analog-era graphic designer and photo editor who saw most of the monetary value of her skills eliminated by desktop publishing software. So I’ll always be sympathetic to people facing that plight. But does anyone seriously regret that the industry evolved? — PolitiTweet.org
