Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Really interesting quiz about whether one lives in a class bubble. I got a 53. (Dunno if that's good or bad.)http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/do-you-live-in-a-bubble-a-quiz-2/ …

      @anildash It's problematic bc it's Charles Murray's bubble. He doesn't "see" urban poor culture, mostly.

          @emptywheel @anildash I agree with you, but I don't think that makes this quiz "problematic." Just specific.

          @emptywheel @anildash On this we can agree. I'd love multiple axes. Class and race? Something like that maybe.

          @emptywheel @anildash But what about the poor rural culture? Appalachia is massively poor and has been for as long as it's been counted

          @emptywheel @anildash McDonald's in many parts is the only chain in the area.

          @mkelley Yup. Even in MI. One reason I raised Applebees, which is urban GOP idea of rural @anildash

          @emptywheel @anildash LOL it's also very culture-specific and it doesn't account for another thing which is more rare but does happen...

          @emptywheel @anildash And it also is severely limited as much of the modern bubble class is transnational in some way or other. In fact

          @emptywheel @anildash having the financial ability to leave one's nation of birth willingly and succeed elsewhere is a marker of wealth

          @emptywheel @anildash and so the modern bubble class is, while not diverse and often aspiring to a "white, Western" standard...

          @emptywheel @anildash any1 that thinks the quiz is problematic should see the full interview Newshour did with Murray. He is unbelievable.
