☆ The viral 'Twitter menswear guy' just wants an affordable home in a walkable neighborhood
  + stars: | 2024-03-16 | by ( Eliza Relman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
It belongs to San Francisco-based fashion writer Derek Guy, also known as the "Twitter menswear guy" behind the @dieworkwear account. But, increasingly, he's been sounding off on his other passion: affordable housing. "I'm probably never going to be able to afford a home in San Francisco, that's my guess, or anywhere in the Bay Area, unless I move really, really, really far out," he said. But Guy has written about how diversity in cities — made possible by affordable housing — is essential for creative inspiration. How about you put me in the middle of a ton of affordable housing."

☆ Opinion | Americans Might Tune Out the Trump Show Reboot
  + stars: | 2024-01-19 | by ( Michelle Goldberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
In crude material terms, Donald Trump’s presidency benefited the media, with subscriptions, ratings and clicks all soaring. “When Trump Wins, So Does the Media,” the center-left writer Matthew Yglesias wrote in October. In a second Trump presidency, those questions would be answered. If Trump is re-elected, I’d expect to see a lot of Americans adopting a similar stance as an emotional survival strategy. Though Trump thrives on attention, he’d be even more destructive without the pressure of sustained public outrage.

☆ ChatGPT showed it could pass a freshman year at Harvard and achieve a 3.34 GPA, student says

ChatGPT is capable of achieving respectable grades at Harvard, an experiment found. Per the experiment conducted by a Harvard student, the bot ended the year with a 3.34 GPA. A version of ChatGPT powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 is capable of passing a typical freshman year at Harvard, a recent experiment found. To conduct the experiment, Bodnick, a Harvard student herself, asked eight professors and teaching assistants to grade ChatGPT's essays generated in response to real Harvard prompts. Higher education is starting to bring in guidance and policies to manage the rise of generative AI.

☆ How Democrats Can Win Workers

Today, I’ll be writing about what Democrats might do about the problem, focusing on a new YouGov poll, conducted as part of the Center for Working-Class Politics study. A key point is that even modest shifts in the working-class vote can decide elections. If President Biden wins 50 percent of the non-college vote next year, he will almost certainly be re-elected. But candidate messages that explicitly mentioned race were unpopular. Democrats who have won difficult recent elections, including both progressives and moderates, have often presented a blue-collar image.

☆ Joe Biden Is a President Who Knows the Right Time to Shut Up - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Matthew Yglesias | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In many ways he embodies what is an unusual model of the presidency in our media age. Presidents facing legislative roadblocks are invariably urged to do more, to say more, to use the bully pulpit more. The dramatic speech or confrontation makes for good storytelling in a way that a drawn-out, incremental, closed-door — in short, boring — negotiation never could. That is the insight President Biden brought to the office. A reduction in spending, disproportionately tilted to nonmilitary budget items, is a real win for the right.

☆ The House Passed the Bill. Who Won?
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( David Leonhardt | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
It is a short-term bill that lacks any attempt to solve the country’s long-term fiscal challenges through tax increases or changes to Medicare and Social Security. The House bill not only protects all the clean energy subsidies passed last year, but also includes a bipartisan priority known as permitting reform that has the potential to remove some of the bureaucratic obstacles to major clean-energy projects. “This is the thing the Climate Left keeps not acknowledging,” Matthew Yglesias wrote in his Substack newsletter this week. Instead, they led to a classic political deal that left untouched the major accomplishes of Biden’s first term. It is a reminder that he is the most successful bipartisan negotiator to occupy the White House in decades.

☆ Elon Musk says Twitter has no 'actual choice' when complying with authoritarian government requests to restrict content
  + stars: | 2023-05-29 | by ( Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Elon Musk has approved more government requests for censorship on Twitter than his predecessor. A "free speech absolutist," Musk previously said he'd only censor Russian news "at gunpoint." Now facing criticism over Twitter's track record, he says there's no "actual choice" but to comply. Please point out where we had an actual choice and we will reverse it." "Look, I'm not the one who bought Twitter amidst a blaze of proclamations about free speech principles," Yglesias responded.
☆ Elon Musk says Twitter has ‘no actual choice’ about government censorship requests
  + stars: | 2023-05-29 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —Criticized for giving into governments’ censorship demands, Elon Musk on Sunday claimed that Twitter has “no actual choice” about complying those requests. The comment comes after Musk has previously called himself a “free speech absolutist” and said he wanted to buy Twitter to bolster users’ ability to speak freely on the platform. Shortly after agreeing to acquire Twitter, Musk explained his approach to free speech by saying: “Is someone you don’t like allowed to say something you don’t like? However, prior to Musk’s takeover, Twitter frequently fought government takedown requests in court, including from India and Turkey, in addition to publicly releasing detailed information about such requests and how it handled them. In last recent removal request report before Musk’s takeover, Twitter said it received more than 47,000 removal requests between July and December 2021, and complied with 51% of them.
☆ Elon Musk's Twitter faces censorship allegations in India free speech battle

Elon Musk is facing allegations of being complicit with state censorship after Twitter appeared to take sides with India’s government in a turbulent free speech fight over a documentary critical of the country’s prime minister. Musk’s brief answer was in contrast to the sometimes-detailed, personalized responses he has given to other people who complain to him about Twitter. Within India, Twitter said it complied 5.6% of the time. “The BBC has not asked Twitter to remove any content relating to the documentary,” the British broadcaster said in a statement. “The IT Rules are being exploited, handing authorities license to pressure platforms to censor content in ‘emergency’ cases,” he said in a Twitter thread.
☆ Substack is having a moment, again. But can the startup live up to its massive $650 million valuation?

He provided a place where readers could find him "in case the bird app spirals into oblivion": his Substack newsletter. The epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding began promoting his Substack newsletter to his 722,000 Twitter followers in early November. They have been a welcome addition, Substack writers say. Substack has also recently rolled out mentions and cross-reporting functions, where writers can mention other Substack writers and share existing posts with their audiences. The irony, of course, is that many Substack writers rely on their Twitter audiences to promote their posts.
