   From https://newrepublic.com/article/188156/liberals-dump-musk-leave-twitter

   "I would ask my liberal friends: Why are you still on Twitter, or X, or whatever it’s called? They would look at me sheepishly."

   It's weird how similar this reads to talking to others about covid and masking 🤔

     @eniko tangential, but I'm now trying to work out if everyone at that publication is deliberately ignoring the context for the naming of Murk's would-be government department

     "the proposed Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, was once a word to describe Venetian monarchs"

     in the context of internet culture but more specifically in the context of Musk's very personal semiotic symbolism.

     (He used to be part of my beat before I sidled away from journalism.)

     @eniko honestly it was part of the tapestry of things that made me nope out.

     I was really sick of using the word "controversial" in the place of "asshole".
