Correct. When Joe Biden steps forward and says "I took them on purpose, those documents belong to me, and I'm not giving them back, and also I just magically declassified them in my mind," then we can both-sides it, but until then, this is just a (serious) screw-up.

This is concerning and the #DOJ has its work cut out for them. But it’s important that Biden is cooperating and working to get all records to the @USNatArchives. https://t.co/qdzusbVtcL

I think it's funny that people insist on reading my habit of expressing very normal opinions as some kind of clever ruse — you, too, can have normal opinions and state them on the internet.

Great profile—deftly points to Yglesias's branding of aggressively conventional wisdom as unconventional, a trick that works bc his willingness to carry water for the rich/powerful is often so brazen it's hard to believe someone would say it so straight. https://t.co/OJpNeq2oZL

Can't recall if I endorsed this here before but if you're looking for a book that explains why Tokyo's neighborhoods are as amazing as they are, without resorting to hand-waving about Confucianism or whatever, and explains what policy can and can't do, this is the book for you

Great news: our book Emergent Tokyo has been chosen as one of Bloomberg Citylab's top urbanist books of 2022!! So grateful to everyone who made this happen; it's honestly all beyond my wildest imagination from when I moved to Tokyo with only a pipe dream. https://t.co/FVuOj6dUk6

Congress has had ample opportunity over the past decade to amend the law if they want to limit the minting of platinum coins. https://t.co/tbd0zmB4xR

"But that's not what Mike Castle meant when he wrote 31 U.S. Code § 5112 (k)"
Thanks bro, but I'm not really that interested in hearing about someone's "lived experience." Much more interested in what the text actually says.

"Social media drives misinformation" is itself mostly misinformation.
Quitting Facebook makes people happier, but also *less* informed about the news because when you log off you do better stuff with your time.

This is incredible engagement. Those of us posting about politics aren't even in the game.
