@Noahpinion The picture you reposted is AI. Why not take 5 seconds to check that? Do you think “USA NEWS” is a credible source?

@SeattleStone37 You thinking much less of my work makes me think slightly more of my own work.

@andrewsharp Oil prices up 2x, Stocks in correction territory, two dozen Americans dead, Straight of Hormuz still closed, Iranian regime still in place, $200B price tag -- what exactly has been accomplished here? What is your criteria over the coming months for this being a success?

@JeremiahDJohns It captures Millennial Leftism well - he’s vaguely depressed, vaguely guilty about being white, vaguely angry about capitalism, convinced the world has gone to hell but somewhat aware that it’s just because he’s spending too much time online.

Bo Burnham's Inside is not only the best piece of art about COVID, it's probably the defining piece of art for the 2020s (not the best piece of art, but the one that is most quintessentially of this time)
Emma Camp@emmma_camp_
Question for the group: has there been any great art about Covid? Any incredible literary novels or films? I can't think of anything off the top of my head but my cultural knowledge is not limitless.

@mattyglesias It’s a meme that went mega viral on Instagram. The penguin leaves his colony and “heads for the mountains” and people joke that they can relate.
Because this administration is terminally online, they wanted to jump on the viral meme trend (but did so in a lazy/hacky way).

@jmattjmattjmatt @SEC So well deserved. Vandy legend for life!

Amazon/Microsoft/Google/Apple all have very high net favs, Tesla is unpopular, Meta is somewhere in between
"Big tech companies" in general underperform the average of specific tech companies and are narrowly underwater - but still much more popular than both political parties
David Shor@davidshor
@MattZeitlin If you ask favorability for Meta it’s 52% fav / 41% unfav / 8% don’t know, a net fav of +11. Across ~52 politicians we track nationally the average is -4.5 and the max is ~+5. if Meta was an elected official it’d be the most popular elected official by a lot!

Donald Trump agreeing with the Democratic Socialist Mayor of NYC that we need more YIMBYism is on so many levels of I didn’t have this on my bingo card I think I ought to give up the ol’ bingo game all together
Acyn@Acyn
Trump: He wants to see no crime. He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down. All the things that I agree with. We may disagree how we get there, the rent coming down, I think one of the things I really gleaned very much today, he'd like it see them come down, but building a lot of additional housing—that's the ultimate way. He agrees with that and so do I. When you read the newspapers, you don’t see that.

It’s genuinely insane that it hasn’t been shut down yet. Like, just open flouting of a law passed by Congress, signed by a president, and upheld 9-0 by the Supreme Court.

There has never been a better time to ban TikTok.

My most fundamental political conviction is that peoples' lives matter, even when they disagree with me, and that it's worth talking to one another because we all have to live and work and build together at the end of the day.

Not only do corporate landlords own only a tiny sliver of the U.S. housing stock, but they usually seem to *lower* rents instead of raising them.
The antitrust progressives are just plain wrong on this one.

@AlecStapp One of my favorite heuristics is "would the same people complain if the reverse had happened?"
Imagine if we had cheap & ubiquitous ride-sharing, but then that was replaced by the taxi cab medallion monopoly model.
I don't think leftists would be celebrating that as a win!

I don’t think Amazon, Uber, and Netflix have made life in America worse

Not a single top performing public transit system in the world is free.
The purpose of a nominal fare with strict enforcement beyond operational revenue is that it’s a very simple and effective filter for antisocial behavior that makes public transit unpleasant and unsafe.
Ed Markey@SenMarkey
Public transit is a public good—and it should be free. That’s why @RepPressley and I are reintroducing the Freedom to Move Act to make fare-free transit a reality and close the transit equity gap.

@SEANewLiberals Thank you. I found this answer from her to be pretty appalling, and it's good to call out how backwards this way of thinking is.

We do need Amazon jobs, for both the economy and also for tax revenue for priorities progressives like Wilson want to pursue like transit expansion and a greater safety net.
A Seattle mayor should be laser focused on keeping and growing Amazon's presence.
