Is good data science always political? Our regularly scheduled guest had to cancel at the last minute, so Joel and Andrew decided to talk about politics.

Topics covered include:

the one data scientist who’s not on twitter
how much Joel hates the xkcd cartoon
free speech in Canada (which Joel gets very wrong, please don't @ me)
how one (or one's bot) gets banned from twitter
Joel getting a phone call from his kid's school
#YarvinGate and #YarvinGate2
how good it feels to hold a pitchfork
loving one's neighbor vs tolerating one's neighbor
why everyone hates Kant
Nazi-punching
the pros and cons of street violence
whether companies should take political stands
whether Shopify should power the Breitbart store
what the hell do they even sell in the Breitbart store anyway?
the difference between refusing to do business with customers because you don't approve them and refusing to business with customers because twitter doesn't approve of them
