@gaberivera fwiw in my outdoor dining experiments to date i have found the non-foody places to outperform the foody places. don't know how much of that is expectations vs level of difficulty — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@gaberivera This is correct. You have passed the test. Next! — PolitiTweet.org

@gaberivera What level of foody-ness would warrant covid risk for you, Gabe? — PolitiTweet.org

RT @oneunderscore__: I was a little too excited to go on the Recode Media podcast with @pkafka, in part because I knew he'd ask some harder… — PolitiTweet.org

@benyt @NateSilver538 One party, a couple unions, a mayor who is both bull-headed and indecisive, and plenty of well-justified concern from a million-plus stakeholders. Good times! — PolitiTweet.org

I’m beginning to come around to the idea that De Blasio would not have excelled as President of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

@joshsternberg @ranimolla @DelRey They have a giant catalog - and, crucially, are committing more of the company's resources to building streaming even at the expense of linear, compared to the other bigmedia cos. — PolitiTweet.org

@yoda This is one of the problems Q poses: There's a spectrum of believers who believe and do different things; some are simply misguided people who think they're saving children from abuse. It's very hard to get a grip on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@KyleStack @oneunderscore__ Sorry! But the President of the United States gave them tacit approval on national TV. We all have to engage now. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Also want to shout out Ben's colleague @BrandyZadrozny, who covers the same beat with him. They've been doing indispensable work on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Thing that was obvious but I didn't realize until I talked to Ben; Q has been around for a while (and builds on/incorporates many other conspiracy theories) but took off during the pandemic, which sent millions of people to their browsers with little to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

You don't believe in Qanon but way too many people do. Soon one of them will be in Congress. NBC News' Ben @oneunderscore__ Collins explains the origins and crazy growth of the conspiracy theory — or "grift" — as he calls it. Really good, really worrisome. https://t.co/R4HSI9JhlJ — PolitiTweet.org

Bonus pod! @benthompson walks us through China, TikTok, Oracle - and why he thinks Trump’s would-be-TikTok ban is a good idea. https://t.co/U7zsIOQ6Aw — PolitiTweet.org

@edmundlee Crap surfeit gives you Qanon. But obstacles to crap doesn’t make you learn anything. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@edmundlee Yeah, Americans were super-diligent about history and world affairs before MySpace. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Bonus episode of Recode Media coming shortly. On the road so instead of sitting on the floor of my bedroom I’m sitting on the floor of my mom-in-law’s guest bedroom. Good place to chat about China and Trump and Oracle and TikTok. https://t.co/aDVfm2zFla — PolitiTweet.org

@stevesi Oh they know! That’s why they made sure to include stuff you wanted. — PolitiTweet.org

@jeffbercovici @MeredithBlake I do remember thinking a lot about the fate of the vegimals. More recently spending time thinking about the pokemon who are captured and trained to fight each other. — PolitiTweet.org

@can @gruber @asymco @benthompson @exponisity @happy_roman Yeah I'm not going to do stock valuation/prognostication twitter. I just think that people who are considering Peloton but may go for Apple service and no Peloton instead are not a significant market. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@can @gruber @asymco @benthompson @exponisity @happy_roman I think that version works when someone who isn't apple offers a $500 bike plus service etc. (Which, again, exists). — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@can @gruber @asymco @benthompson @exponisity @happy_roman Well sure. If you don't want to pay for/can't afford Peloton, there are many other options. So now Apple is competing with those. But it's not competing with Peloton. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DelRey This would make sense if Apple was selling an integrated bike + exercise service? — PolitiTweet.org
