Room Rater gives Matt Yglesias a 6 out of 10 even though the background is an unmade bed.

This grading on a political curve is ridiculous:

Exactly the decor I'd expect out of him.

I’m not even going to mention the lame ass movie posters on his wall except to say that I stopped putting movie posters on my wall when I left college.

He looks about as grumpy as I do before two cups of strong coffee.

Bob Smith বলেছেন...

If you don’t get up in the morning and make the bed .... I’m not interested in anything you have to say.

That's a 6/10 on the Incel-Adjusted Scale

The framed art larger than the window with no discernible border displays uneven scale.

Guy must be a lib. If he was conservative, then a 2.

Minus 6 for being a douche?

"This grading on a political curve is ridiculous"

Since men are more predisposed than women to be slobs, Yglesias might also have been graded on the gender curve.

Is Yglesias into whiteness or whut?

For some, everything is political. Absolutely everything.

Wow, I used to take Yglesias's ideas seriously. I won't make that mistake again, after seeing this.

If your bed is on TV something really bad or something really stupid has happened.

He lives in 2.7 million dollar house he should have nicer digs

Dalton and harvard, his dad wrote the manson series

The view out the window shows he is not in a basement, so he gets points for exceeding expectations.

This man needs a robot... maybe two...

I would guess that "really bad" or "really stupid" pretty much covers everything that's ever happened in fattyglesias's bed.

Poster on right is “Fearless,” great Jeff Bridges Isabella Rossellini movie about a man who survives a plane crash...and becomes fearless

Matt must be single. That looks like your typical "single guy in his 20s" room. But I think Matt is pushing 40. Sads.

Gunner বলেছেন...

Is this the guy who got his ass beat by some black muggers but didn't want to tell anyone because of racism?

rcocean বলেছেন...

I think I can see a "Breitbart Dead" headline on the wall, next to a smiling Matt.

madAsHell বলেছেন...

He's gay.

rcocean বলেছেন...

If Matt is single that's really sad. because Mayor Pete is married, and he's no prize.

Its based on the novel his father rafael wrote,

This grading on a political curve is ridiculous:

If he'd made his bed it would have been 8.

If he'd been a person of color, 11.

His impersonation of the Simpson's comic book guy is pretty good. +1 for that.

Paul Zrimsek বলেছেন...

If it were McMansion Hell there would be an arrow labeled "An Art".

DavidUW বলেছেন...

He's 39?

Lord what a loser.

He looks exactly like what he is though. Overrated scribbler who got to where he is on daddy's connections.

I love the movie Fearless, Peter Weir together with Jeff Bridges and Isabella.Rossolini and Rosie Perez, all at their peak powers. It's a very beautiful and profound movie. I understand it's popular among both atheists and religious people, the so called rationalist types and the mysterious, which is neat.

Yancey Ward বলেছেন...

As Narciso has already pointed out, Fearless was based on Rafael Yglesias' novel- Yglesias senior wrote the screenplay, too.

Not a bad movie at all. The son is just a waste of space- literally the only person who makes little Matty Yglesias seem intellectually weighty is Ezra Klein, and the truth is that Klein might be slowly surpassing even that low bar.

daskol বলেছেন...

Oh, the bed's unmade. Take off two points. Seems fair to me.

tomfromchicago বলেছেন...

"If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed." Apparently, Admiral McRaven's message didn't make much impact on Yglesias. But, McRaven was a Navy SEAL for 37 years, and Yglesias looks like whatever the opposite of a SEAL would look like.

That’s some kind of summer cottage—not his real room (in addition to the spartan decor, the bedroom door opens to the outside). So, in addition to everything else, he’s one of those selfish-prick urbanites who fled the city and spread the virus in rural America. And roomrater gave him a complete pass because he’s liberal.
