A TikTok ban might benefit Twitter (though that’s really not clear to me), but Tesla has massive business interests in China and is also much more important to Musk’s net worth.

Guy who’s mad that higher imputed rent costs have eaten up all the unrealized capital gains from his owner-occupied house.
One reason Trump is holding up well with more politically disengaged voters is he benefits from the perception among confused people that he has nothing to do with Dobbs.

I think it’s interesting that the parties switch positions on the relative importance of “tough on crime” vs “rights of the accused” in the specific case of campus sexual assault claims. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/…
The weird thing about people still defending the logic behind RBG's decision not to retire is that the result was one of the most predictable, and predicted, developments in American politics. Here's me in 2014. I deserve no special credit here because all this was very obvious!

Here’s a hot take: a certain type of academic or non-profit type hates YIMBY because it’s a movement largely composed of mid-SES people with polticial/social capital to directly advocate for their own interests. Rather than relying on an activist-priesthood to ‘speak’ for them
@mattyglesias How much of that is just Mario Puzo, Scorcese, etc packaging and marketing the slang for public consumption. The Bloods and the Crips had this, but the Russian Mob doesn’t. I bet there’d be a lot to work with.
@tahrajirari Might be the perfect love story actually
@mattyglesias Think you’ll be surprised how quickly this shifts and J starts to want to do more on his own. My J is 10 and this was the year she started asking to walk alone, run an errand to the bodega, etc. Cities offer more opportunities for this sort of thing, I think.
I followed Nolan from afar. Another loss of transit reporting in America. Critical public service & policy like transit needs coverage. We need local media as twitter isn’t journalism (or reality!) and opinions aren’t facts. (yes I get the sad irony of posting on here).
Two mayors, two govs, two MTA chairs and god knows how many budgets — proud of the stories on billion dollar stations, unequal COVID and mpox vaccine access, kids left in lead-tainted apartments, and unsafe shelters. It’s been a good run. Got laid off. Will be at the bar.
Charlotte Rogers and Ian Gough argue that the consensus to build more housing isn't working, so they suggest a far more dramatic alternative of redistributing existing housing according to need. It's shocking! blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpol…
The 2010 midterms "shellacking" forced the Obama Administration to pivot to austerity prematurely, fostering a lost decade high unemployment, zero interest rates, and a transitory surge in youth socialism
i have a "real america" confession to make: i saw a golf cart in mexico plastered with various bumper stickers referencing the mormon church, the state of utah, and america's national parks and then i said "huh that's cool, yale football too" (it was BYU)
@MattZeitlin for the record I was wearing black oxfords
BLS data on rents for new tenants out today show they rose just 0.4% over the last four quarters, marking the slowest pace of advance since 2010. The largest and most important component of the consumer price index is likely soon to follow them lower
@bessie628 @JedKolko @mattyglesias @WhiteHouseCEA @citizensclimate From my experience no, congress and its staff just don’t have very many PhD economist types who care about these things. Though they do rely on reports by CBO and CRS who do employ many phds. But far more PhD types in the executive branch.

i would say this attitude is probably the single biggest barrier to effective urban policymaking in new york specifically and the united states as a whole, we simply can't accept that there are essentially off the shelf solutions for our problems that have been proven elsewhere
This is such bullshit
That's a good start: Mario Draghi, who will publish a much awaited "competitiveness report", says that the €zone crisis "competitiveness strategy" (austerity and downward wage pressure) was bad as it reduced domestic demand, deepened the crisis and undermined the social model.

@mattyglesias Maybe the American Home Shield® analysis of Zillow data is more accurate than the HUD-Census Bureau American Housing Survey, but for those who are curious about the latter, it tends to show somewhat smaller housing units in the United States (only certain states are available):
