Can we stop using the hipster pronunciation of DOGE preferred by tech bros (“dō•zsh” or “dohj”), in reference to the cutesy meme and to the early crypto-currency coin? Open to suggestions. How about “doggy”?

Seeing sort of positive press that’s framed around “giving Trump a chance.” Based on what? Trying to overturn the last election? Promising human rights catastrophes as a dictator? Naming clown college drop outs to the cabinet? I think we don’t think this is a probationary period type situation.

I’m going to say something historians rarely say. We haven’t been here before. We haven’t had a near-authoritarian takeover of our government. Admittedly, we don’t know what comes next. There’s a wide array of options. But know that in the US, this is new ground. And none of this is normal.

Can I really give up Xitter? Reluctantly, yes. Since Elmo, it's only been good to follow favorite smart people. Originally there because after Oscar Grant, hashtags told one in real time where the protests were happening. Then, it was good for breaking news, then the brilliant comic hot takes.
