Joe Biden is going to make it harder for rich business owners to cheat on their taxes and conservatives can't stand it. https://t.co/OBgMnIfdfI — PolitiTweet.org

I don't think this has any implications for current policy, since either approach suggests rate hikes are appropriate right now. But in the not-too-distant future the lines will cross and the official data will be overstating housing inflation and that will have implications. — PolitiTweet.org

If you check @ApartmentList's latest data update, this continues — July spot rent growth was still higher than what the BLS shows, but it fell relative to June. https://t.co/hLR6o5D4Qk — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Something I flagged on June 23 is a double divergence between spot rents and average rents. The spot market shows housing inflation that is higher than the BLS data, but inflation that is already slowing rather than still rising. https://t.co/FegHW0ydjw https://t.co/d1BEPinB6M — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter is constantly tied into knots over now to deal with egregious misconduct because the platform has normalized levels of rudeness that almost nobody practices in IRL settings. Everyone who values the good aspects of this platform should push back against that. — PolitiTweet.org

I think if more people observed a norm of hair-trigger blocking, they would perform the public service of helping to shift the generally accepted standards of conduct on here. — PolitiTweet.org

I almost always unblock people who ask, but my philosophy is that I want my Twitter experience to be pleasant and informative so if you are rude to me or just even a little bit annoying then I will eagerly block you unless we have a history of fruitful interactions. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I know this is idiosyncratic but a good example of my blocking philosophy is that this person — who was not being abusive or threatening or particular egregious or anything — has now been blocked. I think more people should set a similarly low bar for blocking. https://t.co/pQtySZksdQ — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@davidshor @nataliesurely @TanaGaneva I just think even that is too high a bar to set — people should block on hair-trigger over mild rudeness and then liberally un-block if the person apologizes and asks to be let back on. — PolitiTweet.org

@ModeledBehavior @lymanstoneky He’s been a featured speaker at CPAC and Hillsdale recently, has been called by congressional Republicans to testify on Covid issues, etc. — basically one of the right’s top public health authorities. — PolitiTweet.org

In terms of the signature longtermism cause, I think the idea of “longtermism” is mostly a red herring — AI safety worriers believe we face a very high probability of a relatively short-term catastrophe. https://t.co/TDVnRG9HaN https://t.co/rvgCCW9Fdl — PolitiTweet.org

Travel sports leagues crowding out more lowkey town- and neighborhood-based teams seems good for the narrow cultivation of athletic excellence but pretty bad for society writ large. https://t.co/TDVnRG9HaN https://t.co/lIlEFwR0Rc — PolitiTweet.org

“What binds these pleas together is an application of ‘the personal is political’ so expanded in scope that, for a certain kind of person, personal problems, anxieties & dissatisfactions are illegible or illegitimate unless described as political problems” https://t.co/YeRNUeuUcv — PolitiTweet.org

@nataliesurely @TanaGaneva I think blocking is massively underused and should be the default response to anyone being annoying. — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinWGlass I talked to the developer of one of those buildings and he told me absent regulatory constrain the sweet spot for that location would be about 20 floors. Higher and he’s need to switch to more expensive construction methods. — PolitiTweet.org

I celebrate practical YIMBYs for trying to find politically feasible ways forward (ADUs, triplex laws, etc) but on the merits we should adopt really extreme solutions on housing just like people are allowed to build however many refrigerators they like as long as they are safe. — PolitiTweet.org

No. Every city in America (yes including Houston) has land use regulations that are dramatically too strict. There should be no limits on lot size, height, FAR, parking, or quantity of units on any residential parcel anywhere. https://t.co/4tfaDTW151 — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait I guess I understand it — there are no pro or significant college teams in town so what else are you going to go watch? — but it’s alien to my life experience. — PolitiTweet.org

In private, many Republican elected officials say Trump is a relatively weak candidate and they’d prefer a different 2024 nominee. In public, they’re on hair trigger alert to defend every aspect of his conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Canadian institutions seem to be using euthanasia legalization to avoid the expense of caring for the disabled. Extremely disturbing stuff here. https://t.co/MB3lr6Ckr3 — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, not like parents getting overly invested in their own kids’ teams (I have a lot of feelings about first grade soccer in DC!) but the sense of a fandom among *non-parents* that you see for high school football in Texas or baseball in Maine is very alien to me. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve seen the TV show and everything, but thing about this part of the country that my coastal elite self can’t accept isn’t just a bit is the idea of adults being emotionally invested in high school sports. — PolitiTweet.org
