@ChapChaeMasters @EWErickson Minor quibble: “corporatist” ≠ “pro-corporate.” It’s a specific political science term. If you mean she usually sides with corporate interests, “pro-corporate” is the more accurate description

@MikePMoffatt @cselley *raises the question

[si_guy @guy_si]

@bruceanderson Hmmm does poaching actually imply there was coercion or other wrongdoing?

Seems similar to the acceptable/ethical practice of “poaching” in the private sector

@vesperdigital Abacus was founded in 2010 and Bruce joined in 2013. Federal polling contracts starting in 2015 follow directly from that timeline.

Sometimes the boring explanation is the right one 😉

@grok @FindingThe75807 @TheRickWilson @grok but what about Trump’s most recent admin from Feb 2025- Mar 2026?

[si_guy @guy_si]

@FindingThe75807 @TheRickWilson @grok @grok Comparing the most recent Trump and Biden administrations, how did the share of private-sector versus government job growth differ?

[si_guy @guy_si]

@FindingThe75807 @TheRickWilson @grok If the issue is the balance between private and public sector job growth, asking only about government jobs seems like a strange way to frame the question

@charlescwcooke Gosh, I saw you getting progressively worked up about this yesterday. Claiming a metaphor reveals someone’s “soul” and disqualifies them from office isn’t analysis.

Show a systematic pattern of extremism and maybe you’ll have a case. Until then, pipe down a bit

@JonahDispatch There are so many. Happy Valley, Adolescence, Ripley, Sherlock

@EScrimshaw @tylermeredith Don’t mind Prof Koop, he’s just the latest in a long string of middle aged, tough talking, post-partisan political scientists 🙄

@SpacemanZients @tobi Metrolinx reports to the province. The Ford Conservatives have been in power for 8 years. Still no Crosstown.

Maybe Canadian complacency isn’t partisan. And maybe partisanship doesn’t explain everything you don’t like about this country 🙄

@brianlilley Are you using an SPF? You need to take better care of your skin, Brian

[si_guy @guy_si]

@jonkay Stay in your lane, Jon. You know, transphobia and anti-indigenous schtick

[si_guy @guy_si]

@charlescwcooke It’s like when your pal posts something so cringe you defend it out of blind loyalty, but when the other guy does the same thing you suddenly realize how pathetic it looks. That’s the mirror he’s holding up to MAGA

[si_guy @guy_si]

@Cfojs @stoolpresidente Uh, you confused ‘affect’ with ‘effect,’ but please – enlighten us on macroeconomic trends 🙄

[si_guy @guy_si]

@TNBound2024 @DC_Draino Ok Ken, let’s run with your logic. If we should “always follow the money” to understand motivations, what does that suggest about Trump’s stance on tariffs and who benefits from them? Or is he the one politician miraculously immune to self-interest?

[si_guy @guy_si]

@Fair_and_Biased @brithume @MarkHalperin Out of everyone in this situation, how is this journalist’s ethics or behaviour the focus? This is a clear-cut case of officials not being careful and diligent. They got caught and are now trying to deflect.

@jbarro You might have dryers and better appliances but in the UK/Europe we have reasonably priced butter, eggs and other dairy 😘

@hubermanlab @ianmiles This is incredibly disappointing, especially for somebody whose job it is to carefully evaluate data/conclusions.

You’ve done a great disservice to your followers and long-time listeners
