It’s not anti-Semitic to criticize the Israeli government.

It’s not anti-Semitic to put the current conflict in historical context.

It’s not anti-Semitic to mourn the death of Palestinian civilians.

But if you describe the slaughter of 1,400 civilians as “military action” or call for a ceasefire without mentioning the toddlers who are still in the clutches of a terrorist organization, people will rightly wonder why you don���t seem to give a single shit about the lives of innocent Jews.

@cody_fettig @mattyglesias Economist generally look at property taxes as a consumption tax and not a wealth tax. If you own a $500k house with a $400k mortgage your wealth is $100k, however, you are not taxed on your wealth ($100k equity) but how much value you are consuming, in this case $500k.

My daughter asked what Milgrom and Wilson did to win the Nobel prize. I decided to see if I could explain it using the 1,000 most common words.

@jillruthcarlson Yes, this is talked about in the opening chapter of “Matchmakers: The New Economics of Multisided Platforms” https://t.co/w4Gr0QzNbA

Could we, without relentlessly criticizing, let people have their pumpkin spice, and avacado toast, and their fandoms, and their D&D, and their too-early-Halloween-decorations, and whatever little harmless things in which they’ve manage to find a tiny shriveled flower of joy?

Russian news is equivalent of retrograde analysis in chess. Work backward from the conclusion that Ukraine & West are to blame.

@dandrezner @philipaklein @jpodhoretz Also I would argue"WarGames" or "Snow Falling on Cedar" are superior Washington State films than 50/50
