Belatedly, Tom Friedman has recognized the strategic insanity of Israel pushing Trump to quit the #IranDeal. Better late than never!
Yet, his piece is very important as it highlights two issues that the US media largely has neglected. >>

This is basically California enviormentalism in a nutshell. Suburban sprawl homes that require driving and destroying nature is enviormentally friendly cause there wont be a gas hookup.

As part of a settlement agreement with environmental groups, the massive Centennial home development at Tejon Ranch in northern L.A. County won't have natural gas hookups. Instead, homes will be built with electric heat pumps and induction stoves: https://t.co/AJce7MDwgm

Not a real shocker at this point, but in previewing CDC research, the Biden administration basically gives the fish eye to quarantining students as a COVID mitigation strategy for schools. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

This is a good @ATabarrok post on why you should take the new pollution evidence seriously, and more broadly than that, how to think about when to trust striking scientific findings. "Trust literatures, not papers."

The anti-booster campaign by (some) public health officials was.a grievous mistake that cost many lives.
Who will be held accountable?

NEW: Many public health experts were opposed to a boosters-for-all approach. The new variant is changing some minds.

If this ends with a grand bargain to relocate the capital to Tucson, I can live with it.

I’m betting conservative donors and conservative activists will recognize that this is a good strategy instead of investing time and money in trying to get candidates to pre-commit to tons of stuff.

New: Mitch McConnell has told colleagues and donors Senate Republicans won't release a legislative agenda before next year's midterms, according to people who've attended private meetings with the minority leader. w @alaynatreene https://t.co/LeMvOBw4h0

Really interesting study on Reddit users and polarization. Main finding: "we don’t see much evidence for the platform polarizing people. Instead, new people polarized the platform in 2016."
Ashton Anderson @ashton1anderson
Thrilled to share our paper, out today in @nature, which proposes a new paradigm for the analysis of online platforms and applies it to study political polarization over the complete history of Reddit

Missed this tweet when it came out, but this is correct.

People say that the West today has no goals, no metrics, no sense of purpose by which to measure itself.
Nonsense! The purpose of every politician, journalist, and intellectual is clearly to amass likes on Twitter. By extension this is now the purpose of Western civilization.
