1/ Exactly a year ago I started my indie consulting practice. It's been a great ride so far. Here's how it has changed me: https://t.co/yQcHAHRWGB

@dahvnyc @2AvSagas Doesn't this chart say the opposite? 5a-6a is all green.

@devonzuegel Hope this is a helpful input! https://t.co/R9MXKaYmBU

@mattyglesias @conorsen Or to merge the two:

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

@mattyglesias @conorsen Carter 1980: 7.21% (L)
Trump 2020: 2.86% (L)
Obama 2012: 1.21% (W)
Bush 2004: 0.65% (W)
Bush 1992: 0.43% (L)
Clinton 1996: -1.53% (W)
Current: -1.65% (TBD)
Reagan 1984: -6.16% (W)

@TheStalwart @conorsen I wonder if this is intended to placate an internal, employee constituency. "We're the good guys because we're setting Twitter free!" Makes the project feel futuristic instead of being pure conquest.

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

@tomcritchlow Yes please!

Dataviz of the day

[Alice Evans @_alice_evans]

Around 20% of Italians, Spaniards and French people live in houses with a leaking roof.

That is a higher level of material deprivation than I anticipated.

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

@tomcritchlow Your examples and mine are probably best described as gap between where they are and what their full potential once was...too far gone now

@Wertwhile @conorsen @NateSilver538 It’s really surprising looking at this list, expected a handful of duds. The next tier — clear top pick but not clear consensus of greatness — has a lot more issues. (My Sixers fan brain: Fultz, Simmons. Ouch.)

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

Dataviz of the day.

[Kurt Andersen @KBAndersen]

The Wagner forces are now in Rostov-on-Don near the Ukrainian border. Been fascinating the last hour watching the road closures pop up in real time on Google Maps between there and Moscow 800 miles north.

@charlesdbecker @Scholars_Stage He deserves the Walter Isaacson treatment

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

@conorsen Feels like PR incentives change when moving from upstart (need the right call at the right time in order to deepen deal flow) to incumbent (gotta be in the conversation for every possible tech wave, even if you have nothing new to say, to widen deal flow)

@SimoneStolzoff What an amazing city, hope you have a great trip!

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

Istanbul, earlier this week

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

@SimoneStolzoff Oh man, so many options. But will probably most remember a simple rice pudding from this place: https://t.co/nsZYYFdTOB

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

Dataviz of the day, unfortunately.

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

New report finds that over 8,000 pedestrians were killed on US roadways in 2022.

Jimmy Carter was president the last time that happened.

@ritholtz Surprised “Affordability” isn’t considered — one thing these places have in common is they’re extremely expensive, especially real estate

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

@GergelyOrosz Yes, totally. And if adding a website or something with a cross-sell discount, the slight premium sometimes even starts to look like a discount.

[Andrew Bartholomew @andrewbart]

@GergelyOrosz I think this is a function of your audience. Squarespace’s primary appeal is it is extremely user-friendly for the layperson, and support is great. Worth a small premium for that if you’re not technically-minded, and especially if connecting to other Squarespace services.
