After everything that Republicans have done - and are doing - to destroy American democracy, if you still think this is about the economy and globalization and forgotten towns and opioids, you've lost the plot.

@OpheliasMarbles @dburbach @ericowensdc @DDFStrand Somewhere along the line, we convinced people that only losers don’t go to college. This was a pernicious lie fostered across the political spectrum.

@JMoLawre @NomineNemo @dubsmud @ericowensdc The tell is that those trucks are shiny and un-dinged and have never been used for actual work-related stuff. Just saw one in the parking lot at the local supermarket the other day; the wheels alone were worth an entire off-shored Chinese factory. It was so economically anxious.

@Troyliss @tcburkejr @phillips_allen1 @jeffatc28 @NormOrnstein @AnaCabrera The criticism is "don't lump in police unions with unions." Of course, that's why I explicitly said *police* unions, but Twitter, as it always does, will choose the most contentious possibility and say "That's not what you meant." This is why muting and blocking are gifts.

I left behind the cheap elliptical I’ve had since grad school. I run/bike only in good weather. Gyms near me in NYC are meh. I thought maybe time for a new elliptical or a rowing machine? So hard to find objective, reasonable assessments! The fitness-bs industry drives me nuts.

In the UK, 90% of everyone over 16 has had at least one dose of a COVID vaccine and they had a Delta wave catching many of the unvaccinated. Trying to squint to understand why “it’s a mystery” for hospitalizations to go down even without huge restrictions. https://t.co/yX2n3S4B4v
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 16:26:25 +0000 2021
Do people know that the 1890 pandemic was likely caused by another coronavirus, OC43 (that was then novel?) Nowadays, no longer novel, it is one of the causes of the common cold. We're obviously not living in the OC43 pandemic since, and we won't live in a COVID pandemic forever.
@zeynep -- Sun Sep 26 21:03:27 +0000 2021
I hear this a lot. I don't like stationary biking, just a personal pref thing, and software/group work doesn't solve a problem I have. Still, I wonder if part of the appeal is that it just works. The fitness industry otherwise has so much bs. https://t.co/sJ0fP90umj

@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 21:02:10 +0000 2021
@notdred @AaronRichterman I think his point isn't that: "otherwise they'd go to waste" is a thing of our own doing, not some teleological outcome. (I don't even begrudge anyone wanting a booster). But we'd otherwise waste them is our choice, not a "let's booster" argument.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 16:34:41 +0000 2021
Personally, I'm for aggressive public health measures—too much preventable suffering. We don't put up with food poisoning, so why not better ventilation or other measures against respiratory illnesses, for example. But SARS-CoV-2 isn't some virus that stands against all biology.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 21:49:35 +0000 2021
@notdred @AaronRichterman Well, given how terrifyingly good Delta is finding the unvaccinated, if you got a Delta-specific vax, you'd want to immediately direct it to the unvaccinated with blanket coverage. What are the odds of that happening? It might turn into be fourth booster in wealthy countries.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 21:43:37 +0000 2021
@AaronRichterman @notdred The part I've been thinking about is can you imagine what might happen if we got a Delta-specific booster? All the wealthy countries will buy every last dose while whatever mRNA capacity we have will likely get directed to that. Talk about suboptimal local minima.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 21:10:15 +0000 2021
@notdred @AaronRichterman Well, of course you can't advise individuals not to take it—that is the MD/clinical view, and I'm not disputing it at all—but you can still see the broader point that "it will otherwise go to waste" or "it's already here" is a reality of our making.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 16:49:56 +0000 2021
@DFisman @VoiceOfFranky Also 1890 was anosmic (and thus neurotropic, which we don't see for influenza in humans). I'd say pretty likely! https://t.co/lCjDbGW7It
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 16:29:12 +0000 2021
I'll reshare this piece by @dylanhmorris on why the *novel* part of the phrase "novel coronavirus" is key. There are two ways to make the virus no longer novel to one's immune system: vaccination (yay lowest risk) or infection (the risky, dangerous path). https://t.co/UXWhg6X0mI
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 20:17:20 +0000 2021
In any case, after looking through the history of how the aerosol/airborne debate actually went down, versus what the textbooks said, I think it's really useful to look at history at times with fresh eyes. Did we really know this, or did we conclude something and kept asserting?
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 16:39:56 +0000 2021
Also, flu pandemics happen, of course, but they too end once it is no longer novel to enough people. (And flu has a lot of tricks this virus does not have). Plus, we have vaccines now (we did not for flu for 1918 but that one ended, too). It sucks, truly, but it's not endless.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 17:28:05 +0000 2021
@jmcrookston @stephenjudkins Agree on that. See: https://t.co/UXWhg6FoY8
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 16:51:23 +0000 2021
Unlike many terrible *past* pandemics (yes, past), we have vaccines now. Ideally, we move forward by learning from all this: how to get ready for next time, and how to reduce disease burden from all respiratory illnesses. But viruses do not stand outside biology and history.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 16:30:57 +0000 2021
Of course, OC43 remains dangerous to the elderly—especially those living in nursing homes—because humans aren't immortal and our immune systems fail as we age, and congregate living is especially dangerous. For the immunocompetent: OC43 causes the common cold and no crisis.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 19:24:21 +0000 2021
@jbloom_lab @wanderer_jasnah The previous maybe? pandemic influenza is 1857-1858. (Though obviously ~winter epidemics). So about a generation to 1890. I want to summon a dissertation to being here by a medical historian to go through what became "assumed" and what might stand out. https://t.co/JuGOBxIa2l
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 19:04:37 +0000 2021
@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab So a grad student going through the archives for primary descriptions (especially early on) globally might be able to provide a lot of clarity to the symptom set. (As "conclusions" spread, you see stuff become homogenized circularly: there was a lot of communication).
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 18:54:59 +0000 2021
@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab I see an amazing project for a historian here. I don't have a systematic collection, but "loss of smell" (and some other neurological stuff) does come up as symptom of 1890 and that was my cue—though, yes, a lot of dissent to it. Someone hunt the archives! https://t.co/j2Bl8GtMJh https://t.co/OBzhRfPqca
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 18:30:27 +0000 2021
@jbloom_lab @Science54900201 So my guess would be that a deep historical dive would unearth a lot of detailed accounts that probably never got collated together, or looked through modern clinical eyes.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 18:27:51 +0000 2021
@jbloom_lab @Science54900201 I've definitely seen distorted/perverted smell/taste mentioned in multiple histories... (I'll look again for more). This looks like a great project for a historian, though,collect contemporary to accounts. (like this: https://t.co/5Bsvu8SGjE)
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 17:41:15 +0000 2021
One informed dissent to my "likely"—though I'll keep the original point: pandemics end and viruses don't stand outside of all known biology or history. We're facing a coronavirus (not the first time), and there are already vaccines. https://t.co/Nx7sOUcXrC
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 20:11:44 +0000 2021
Would be really interested to read a history of symptom accounts of the 1890 pandemic from primary sources (including non-medical). I had read papers (and know specialists who think so) that suggested non-influenza—instead another coronavirus. I had found the anosmia compelling. https://t.co/3l1rdWOn9X

@RukhnamaLives You know, it’s funny… Colson Whitehead was talking about his outlining process, and that’s actually how I got restarted on the book. I started reoutlining to make the writing tasks smaller/easier

This is largely hard-won pages describing some community processes in Oakland, but I wrote them down as a vessel for my own understanding, and now I need to turn them into something someone would actually want to read.
@alexismadrigal -- Sun Sep 26 23:59:33 +0000 2021
@nwchap It’s largely narration of events… not quite plot tho… it’s like describing a community process and at its current length, it is boring af

@alexismadrigal Me too (admittedly, I do it anyway bc it helps focus my fact-finding/research). However, I have accepted that my initial outline won’t reflect any subsequent outline or the final product. It’s my process.

@Villagrana_M -- Mon Sep 27 00:49:10 +0000 2021
@alexismadrigal IOW, a hybrid of what you proposed—keep current text; separately, draft a new story/outline based on what you have learned and use any and all current material as necessary. You may need to do additional gap-filling but u don’t have to start from scratch.

@Villagrana_M -- Mon Sep 27 00:46:38 +0000 2021
@alexismadrigal Everyone’s different & each written product is unique. What’s worked for me in similar circumstances is to now draft a list/outline of the new “story.” Outline, key points, etc. U may still end up using the current material but in different ways than u originally thought.

@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn And I should say, inflammatory in both directions, since its underlying premise — if I’m right about what you think here — is that the American electorate contains a huge amount of anti-black racism that Democrats have to tread carefully around.
@jbouie -- Mon Sep 27 17:38:30 +0000 2021
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn But since Democrats do need to attract those voters, and the party is already coded as “racially liberal” (to put it politely), directly addressing black concerns over racism ends up alienating the “50-year-old white people” who say are in the driver’s seat of American politics.
@jbouie -- Mon Sep 27 17:36:44 +0000 2021
@mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu @Nate_Cohn So this makes me think that the reason people keep saying your point is banal is that you’re not actually stating your point. As I read you, you’re saying something like “Democrats are undermining themselves by making ‘attitudes about black people’ a salient political concern.”

The dividing line, esp right now, has to be 'someone with the focus, energy and diligence to fix stuff vs someone who doesn't'. We're in the midst of chaos, we have a hapless PM. Starmer's mantra should be Get. A. Grip.
@mrianleslie -- Mon Sep 27 08:40:07 +0000 2021
...Starmer's dividing line with Johnson shouldn't be integrity. The voters he needs already think Boris is a bit of a shyster; they like him anyway. And voters don't believe in politicians as truth-tellers, especially those who say it about themselves.

@waltshaub @alexnazaryan Looks like @waltshaub has this covered, but I'll just add a historical note: "fractious" started off in the 18th century as a synonym for "factious" but eventually developed the more "quarrelsome" sense, perhaps influenced by the verb "fratch" meaning "quarrel, wrangle."

I think "cost" is properly measured as the net increase in spending, not the net increase in the deficit. The net increase in spending is less than $3.5T because there are spending cuts (most notably in the form of prescription drug price controls). But taxes just finance a cost. https://t.co/hGncxj6R82

Once again, the monetary community on here that gets the most mockery is the fiat community. Constant bashing of the Fed, the dollar, inflation etc. And instead of self congratulation, sneering, and smarminess, fiat adherents are working to diffuse the debt ceiling crisis. https://t.co/vNu0OIQOLA

@RadioFreeTom @dburbach @DDFStrand Also, none of the jobs you mention, David, except possibly accounting would have required a college degree 40 years ago. You just worked your way up. And college was still broader. “Pre-law? Pre-med? What’s the difference?”

@DDFStrand @RadioFreeTom I think it was J.D. Vance, before he went nutball populist, who observed that American colleges are sociological factories which take the best people from small towns, process them and send them to big cities, never to return. It wasn’t always this way. Not do completely.

@dubsmud @RadioFreeTom I have a smaller-town doctor friend who owns an expensive pickup truck. He’s made the same observation. He can pull up in his truck and patients see a man of the people. But If he buys a Mercedes for the same price, he’s that fancy, rich doctor. It’s weird.

I'm sorry but the "marriage is hard work, I hated that nigga but hey we still here" line is one of the most standard storylines every. What do you think ppl are not ready for?
