wrt to the NYT specifically, it was an intentional top down decision

Does anyone know why the original tweet was deleted by Matthew Yglesias?

From some cursory searches, I haven’t been able to find a specific reason like a retraction, and it doesn’t look like he did a general wipe of his history around 2022.

I'm surprised that the article didn't mention this, given the company the author apparently keeps I would have thought he'd have been among the criminally few people who witnessed and is aware of it, and it's both narratively aligned and the single most important piece of background information.

I left a comment on his post (I think, substack commenting is a bit confusing)

Oh I forgot that one. Good catch.
