Matt Yglesias (You may call him Matty Glesias, but it’s the same guy), is always complaining about conservatives. He has a Substack (don’t they all) and a column. He’s probably a nepo baby. Anyway, today he is hyper focused on the ‘National Review’.
National Review home page is a great case study in how much more conservatives care about lib-owning than governing.

The page is literally full of things Republicans are doing to govern, but, go off, weirdo.
Yglesias was just dead wrong here. Even his screengrab undermined his point.
For you young people, this is all a lesson learned from Krugman, who used to pride himself on NEVER reading conservatives, and then would expound on what conservatives don’t ever say or don’t know. https://t.co/llzpTChx6c— Tim Carney (@TPCarney) January 28, 2025
Apparently, he didn’t actually read the screenshot he was using.
So, just on a random screenshot at one point in one day, the top left item is our editor-in-chief giving an overview of the new administration’s policies; there’s a link to our flagship podcast discussing Trump’s showdown with a foreign government; and there’s a trio of items on… https://t.co/Dg98u0PPlp

But other than that … heh.
I regret to inform you that Matthew Yglesias either cannot—or will not—read. https://t.co/2NrDGrBzTE https://t.co/p4tjIaqZKQ

He was just board, wanted to be called out by one of you guys. Poor dude. pic.twitter.com/s2vee6Q3Jp

Apparently, Matty was desperately in need of attention today.

Matt Yglesias is a fascinating human being because he is perfectly comfortable criticizing the other side for not doing things they actually do even though he doesn’t do those things himself. He’s completely unaware of his own hypocrisy, yet often leans into it.

This is the perfect description of Matty.
But in fairness, he did take a screen shot so there’s that…

Bless his heart.
Yglesias’ combination of high grade smugness, laziness, and mediocrity is singular.

He is very impressed with himself. He has that going for him.
I will never understand why anyone on the right takes Yglesias seriously. I’ve really tried giving him chance after chance, only to be reminded what a futile endeavor it is.

The Right doesn’t actually take him seriously. It’s just mocking him is so fun.
That guy really isn’t worth the response.
I get it, I regularly remind him how short, bald and bad at his job he is but he’s really not worth it.😂👍🏽

It’s important to frequently remind him.
