Twitter refugee, YIMBY, kinda moderate I guess. Lots of luck and some talent with data has allowed me to live in San Francisco, but I hope lots and lots more people will eventually become my neighbors.

College student Josh Shapiro wrote a very bad essay over 30 years ago, but his current positions re:Israel and Gaza are the Democratic mainstream. So, when I see people flipping out about him I think either their vote is ungettable or they’re fundamentally reacting to him being Jewish. Or both.

Political violence doesn’t succeed in a functional democracy, regardless of who the target is or whether the target is themselves committed to democratic principles. And this is how we want it to be; the moment political violence confers success, including against “the bad guys”, we’ve all lost.

“I can’t do smart things, because I am not actually smart. But I ache to be smarter than everyone. So I believe in weird, stupid things, and spin it as being more brave, more smart, more perceptive than the people who don’t believe in weird stupid things.”
