Rubin has a harsher take… (though I think there's a difference between bailing out Vox Media and bailing out Klein's voxdotcom site, one of many they have) https://t.co/mdgMVROVnP

PS: I was with conservatives who opposed removing Schiavo's life support. I thought the decision to do so reflected a 'culture of good death' that has somehow infiltrated our law.

This is where much of the party of Terri Schiavo would take us, apparently … https://t.co/3RnfWrMWRf

"Sweden: Older people will now be REFUSED care." https://t.co/wkEh69HVQH Don't know this site, but they appear to have an actual document from a Stockholm hospital.

"Bad ideology, not bad leadership, caused our China problem" https://t.co/VQj5p1ltV1 ie. globalism. Not sure it's 100% ideology, as opposed to de facto bribery. There was just an awful lot of money to be made by moving all production to China.

If a) social distancing was result of individuals calculating themselves risks of going out, then b) it's doubly misguided for right to blame evil CDC planners and "alarmist" media, no? The people spoke and they were (rightly) cautious. https://t.co/mFk7j4nSgj

Yikes. This reinforces the case for social distancing, no? (It must be part of the conspiracy then …) https://t.co/0Q2tf9eYZF

It has come to my attention that there is gloating going on in the replies. Please control yourselves! a) I've learned lots from Vox despite the creepy ExplainerVoice b) Again, they'll probably still be here in 3 years. At Slate we had a 'no-gloat' rule about Salon–never needed https://t.co/qBiCxPuFcx

Conventional wisdom was that Vox, Vice & Buzzfeed were teetering even BEFORE the pandemic. Hard to see them surviving now. Voxdotcom part of Vox would seem to have best shot-will always be some rich progressives willing to fund. I've been waiting for Salon to collapse for decades https://t.co/Yqat8ctALv

Lowering Medicare age always seemed like a good idea to me. Details are unclear (Sargent's account makes it seem like it might be restricted to two sub-groups.) Note that Bill Clinton proposed a form of lowering to 55 when he was President-so can't say this is wildly bold. Still. https://t.co/7ucLmxbfOG

But where is the Hofstadter cite? Must be editing error. The rules are clear: You have to cite Hofstadter, however inappropriately, to demonstrate sophistication vs. rubes. This is like "In the Air Tonight" without the drum solo. https://t.co/lMBRu3zpQy

That's @RobertWrighter he's talking about! Wright put forward the same theory in a @bloggingheads episode on 4/3 [see 9:30 in] https://t.co/3ahQnm5Pxk Of course they're going to err on the pessimistic side (when plugging in assumptions). Don't need Trump to explain that. https://t.co/C0LnSL4Ee7

Rosie Thomas' "When We Were Small." The first 3 songs are so heart-ripping I haven't even listened to the rest of it (except the last song, which is as good as the first 3). https://t.co/4ixFyq6fQE
