@AJentleson @DPearsonPHL What does or does not excite extreme partisans tells you nothing about how swing voters might feel!

[Paul Safier @PaulSafier]

@AJentleson @DPearsonPHL A lot of progressives use a heuristic where they say, “this candidate moves me from a 6 to a 9, so, therefore, he must move others from a 4 to a 7.” Or the converse — “this candidate doesn’t excite me personally so he must be failing at persuasion.” That’s not how it works!

@CartoonsHateHer @theashleyray I am like this. Occasionally, I’ll remember something I did literally decades ago, mutter “fuck,” and my family will all yell, “What happened?” All I can say is, “Remembered something.”

The joy and pain of knowing you just wrote the greatest sentence any lawyer has ever written and that it won’t survive the editing process.

@lexlanham Depends on what part of the Hulk Hogan case you are talking about.

@mattduss Is it your position that AES is going to match or exceed Benson’s margin? I think AES will win. But I would take the other side of that bet.

@fifimcfae Yeah, every time I have any interaction with that institution (which, blessedly, has been very infrequent), I am in awe of how great everyone is and how well designed the place is.

@DKThomp @BenjySarlin @EricLevitz I feel like “America bad” isn’t a super winning message with the American electorate, though I am just a normie Dem so what do I know.

[Paul Safier @PaulSafier]

@MattZeitlin Yes! Relevant question, even from a leftist perspective, is whether an al-Qaeda with the resources and power of the U.S. would be worse than what the U.S. has done. Anyone who thinks that is a hard question is not worth listening to.

@Jesse_Leg @daveweigel Ross was a great hire.

@ClistonBrown The Bernie movement did emerge somewhat organically out of “Occupy Wall Street,” but it obviously looks very different if he doesn’t get the artificial boost of being the avatar for anti-Hilary sentiment.

@NateSilver538 There’s a weird thing that has happened in fb analytics where the insight that fb is a team game and the sample sizes are small has liberated analysts to evaluate qbs based on whether their peak throws look awesome.

@ArmandDoma The neo-Brandeisians don’t object to getting screwed by market transactions so much as to being made aware of the fact they they are engaged in a market transactions. That’s why they hate dynamic pricing and options to pay less for a flight for a worse flying experience.

Open racism by the Republican nominee for an important statewide office in TX (regulates oil and gas). What's especially tragic is this picture shows the magic and genius of America.

@hecubian_devil I think the key change here was social media. In the old days, it was easier to bite your tongue for strategy reasons when there weren’t likes and engagement waiting for you loudly and obnoxiously “speaking your truth.”

Osama Bin Laden is dead, LeBron James is a 76er and the Philadelphia Eagles play football on Sunday.

@MarlowNYC The general disregard for Spike Lee’s oeuvre is so gross. He’s made at least three films, counting 25th Hour, that are in the canon of greatest/most important American films ever made.

@CentristMadness This guy would be the guest. Our Rogan would nod and say, “whoa, that’s wild,” as this guy explained that GLP-1 drugs were designed for genocidal purposes.

@jessesingal During the Biden years, DR repeatedly claimed that voters only cared about inflation because the media was talking about it. Like, there are arguments that voters should have cared less about inflation or not blamed Biden. But, they knew what they were paying for things.
