Bob has an interesting Stephen Glass theory in this week’s “Parrot Room.” (We were asked by a listener to give our views on him. When the listeners are paying they have more clout, somehow.) https://t.co/U4G5UyZxOa

“He had been in office only two months and there was already a crisis at the southwest border.” Makes it sound like Biden struggled to control crisis that just happened to him. Try: “Biden suspended a key policy- Remain in Mexico-his first day in office, helping cause the surge.” https://t.co/rQuVnpxGlO

Finally some reporting on fights in the White House, though it’s pretty thin. What, for example, is Mayorkas’ role? What was his agenda (and agendas of others)? What did they think would happen if they won? https://t.co/SZYrIuEpwx

If you wanted to argue that Biden is a weak president unable to make decisions to solve a national problem if it means pissing off one side, you’d find confirmation in this story. https://t.co/NZZmMjR4rw

“But is it about judicial philosophy or advice and consent?” Huh? What are you consenting to if not a nominee’s judicial philosophy? Lesson of Bork is if you don’t like it you don’t have to vote for it (subject to consideration that you should fill the seat somehow), no? https://t.co/EtigUdFBn9

So it will be, what, greenish-yellow check? And will that give the cred boost “public figure” check gives? Or will it say ‘here’s a sucker who’s paying us $3?’ Will “public figures” be able to cut greenish-yellow checks out of their feeds the way they can now cut off non-checks? https://t.co/BexrzQ1WlY

Actually while everyone seems to think a blue check gives a boost it’s not clear if it’s a boost directly in the algorithm or indirectly-through added cred and more (including blue check) engagement that in turn influences the algorithm. Either way a boost https://t.co/ECQI5D1pYt https://t.co/7I3HHHzwr7

Wait — @elonmusk’s already said there WILL be a third tier of”public figure”s! So there’re 1) proles 2) $3 blue checks 3) famous people! Will (3) get a boost that (2) doesn’t? If so tier 2 are being taken for suckers–they pay $3 to still be inferior https://t.co/qZ9SHrBJAV https://t.co/NezmSHn0nu

For example will @elonmusk eliminate the Blue Check boost, or at least assure all BC’s are boosted equally?

NOT CLEAR THIS DEALS WITH THE PROBLEM! The problem with blue checks is a) their tweets are boosted by @Twitter’s algorithm above ordinary users; b) there’s a button that lets them ignore ordinary users and only read other blue checks. Does this address those issues? https://t.co/y8Pcb9CmHw
