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
