ONE OF THE DEFINITIONS OF 'LITERALLY' IS "IN EFFECT, VIRTUALLY—USED IN AN EXAGGERATED WAY TO EMPHASIZE A STATEMENT OR DESCRIPTION." SOME PEOPLE GET MAD IF YOU USE IT THIS WAY BECAUSE IT ISN'T THE WORD'S PRIMARY MEANING, BUT THIS SENSE OF 'LITERALLY' HAS BEEN USED FOR 250 YEARS SO

@samuelmoyn @ezraklein @herandrews @JillFilipovic Great idea/topic but I thought the interview had very little to do with boomers other than discussing the time period in which they happened to live.

Today I’m thinking about Leon, of course, but also Mary and Eli Black and the curse that must hang over that storied family.

This and other heavy handed tactics during the @navalny protests are going to bring more Russians out into the streets. By arresting Navalny, Putin has set this train in motion. By violently attacking the protesters he’s insuring that the mood of Russia defies him

@samuelmoyn I don’t know of any serious historian who plays this game and doesn’t know it’s a game.
