    Remember how the old Soviet Union had leadership which was very opaque, and there were a whole class of “Kremlinologists” who would figure out who was in favor by how closely they were standing to the Soviet Premier in photographs of public events?

    This is similar, we can figure out who is close to our new Prime Minister by how he treats them on Twitter. “X-ologists”? It’s dumb, but so is everything in this timeline.
