I see a lot of people on Twitter confused about how others wholly reject their views, and I think a good chunk of it comes down to not understanding the feeling of being polarized. It feels good to be polarized, to have certainty, to know you're on the good team. Storytime. 1/.

We don't need to increase the deficit even more. We don't have to spend money we don't have. We don't have to massively expand the national debt, creating a more unsustainable interest burden. All of these are choices.

The media (institutional and social): "Big development! Breaking news!".(discovery that it didn't actually happen).Media: "Stunning reversal! What drama!". The attention economy has a market failure and rewards sensational claims without basic research.

The law today is the integral of a lots of contradictory half-measures that cause many bad outcomes. We STILL need to update old law that isn't working - but there's no political reward in it. Social media pushes us to give our attention to conflict instead. Not sure solution.

Imaginary deficit cutting (nevermind balancing the budget) in 6 years (without a CBO score, to boot) isn't real. Raising the deficit now is real. When the debt bomb goes off, this will be one of the reasons why.

I agree with @WarrenDavidson. If we were serious, we’d be cutting spending now, instead of promising to cut spending years from now.

Even by Amazon standards, this is extraordinarily sleazy: starting March 28, each Amazon Echo device will cease processing audio on-device and instead upload all the audio it captures to Amazon's cloud for processing. 1/

538 gave us the best single tool I've seen to demonstrate the power of gerrymandering: I hope this stays up, or someone has a tool that's as good to see the power of legislative lines.

A basic rule:. - In the government, unless the law allows it, you can't do it. - Outside government (for citizens/companies), unless there's a law disallowing it, you can do it. Our system constrains government and defaults to freedom for everyone else. That's healthy.

Anec-data isn't data, but is compelling storytelling. Amplification algorithms seeking more and more engagement inherently devalue thoughtful, nuanced analysis. Data communicators have their work cut out for them breaking through.
