@JEFFWH75 @mattyglesias Who do you think is more credible on these issues now?? Certainly not Trump.

[Diderot @profdave]

@TheGrapeGatsby2 @mattyglesias Don’t be naive. We excuse mistakes if the system is really trying to do its job professionally. The people in charge are trying to fill quotas and instill fear.

@bernardfrosty @jammles9 How are things in Moscow?

@mistermjdotcom @bonchieredstate Um, so is protesting and filming what you see. I thought you guys cared about liberty. But maybe you’re just a bot.

[Diderot @profdave]

@penialism2 @texaradogirl @speechboy71 You are high. The protestor did nothing to the ICE thug.

@Eternal_Kernal @DeryaTR_ You’re kidding, right? I do not think that graph means what you think it means.

@Zelandakh @anishgiri If there’s a black pawn on f5 it’s a Dutch.

@Agent_IsaacX @fermatslibrary Yes, I regard the entire enterprise of trying to base mathematics on set theory and logic as fundamentally flawed. Knowing what math is about, why would we choose those as its pillars rather than, say, arithmetic?

@ThomasSowell So funny to hear a modern Rep say that it’s the Dems who want more government power. Check the board, Coach.

@dko9999 @asymmetricinfo Every accusation a confession.

[Diderot @profdave]

@PrimeVanguardX @mattyglesias Every accusation is a confession

[Diderot @profdave]

@ThomasSowell You don’t actually believe this, do you?

[Diderot @profdave]

@Astute1492 @JamesSurowiecki Hahahahaha

[Diderot @profdave]

@Bharris74 @JamesSurowiecki No

[Diderot @profdave]

@Spence25S @JamesSurowiecki @johnmanuelNC Of course tariffs are legal. They’re an enumerated power of Congress. Not the president.

[Diderot @profdave]

@SohrabAhmari Um, it’s also a terrible description of modern economics. There are lots of debates about foundations and models of individual economic behavior. But classical market theory has been consistently successful, and there’s no need to throw it away.

@jonfavs @ezraklein I assume you saw the recent Matt Yglesias column asking for an application of abundance to education. What do you think?

[Diderot @profdave]

@arealperson33 @BrianTorri Is your answer zero?

[Diderot @profdave]

@oladips2005 @gunsnrosesgirl3 Ha ha ha. So funny.

What's the matter with people here??

[Diderot @profdave]

@JenniferSey @jaketapper What she’s talking about is *editing*. Taking some care and responsibility for what passes through your service.

The companies already do this, of course, with some offensive posts. They just don’t want to spend the money to clean up the rest of the damaging material.
