I believe, if i remember correctly, she noted in a past letter that this is the official (colloquial) pronunciation of the meme from which dog-E was derived! We should all always call it that!
But it makes it hard to share the content with "manosphere" adjacent podcast listeners.
I know some Elon fanboys in my sports league. I would love to share this great reporting with them, but they wouldn't take it seriously and immediately ignore the content.
"Bro it's pronounced 'Dohj' lol".
These are mostly folks that get their news from X or TikTok. But I've been having some conversations with them after games and I have, incrementally, started to get them to consider that maybe Elon's DOGE isn't actually doing anything positive (and is in fact destructive).
Yet I feel like I can't use one of my best tools — these short sub 15 min podcast episodes by HCR.
Perhaps dog-E is the more "original" way to say it but this is not how Elon fanboys (or the vast majority of Americans) pronounce it. It makes the reporting less accessible and, I fear, also makes it come across a bit pretentious.
Musk lying about 8million for 8 billion is on script, forming public opinon with lies. The brainwashed will run with his lies and never read or consider the corrected reality. Is stuff like this a form of military psychological operations? More Flooding of the the zone I quess.
The Gun Lobby and Cambridge Analytica style influence campaign of persuasion without consent ( buying ads and manipulating social media news feeds) needs some further investigation. Who funded it? Where was it deployed? Which voters were targeted and how? I remember thinking why is a Russian Oligarch, a finance banker, Alexander Torshin ( wanted in Spain for money laundering) at all these NRA events? And then you find out he is running a red sparrow Maria Butina who is sleeping around with right wing CEO’s and Paul Ericson, Republican political consultant. Kinda some weird stuff going on. Why didn’t Mueller investigate the extra 30 million the NRA donated to the Trump campaign?
Yeah, like selling polling data to Oleg Derisposka. We never got to here testimony from the intermediary, Konstantinos
Klimnick, a Ukrainian that bolted to Russia and just disappeared completely. Why is that? Even other spies got jobs in the Russian parliament or their own tv shows. Why is it that Konstine just disappeared? I think he sold the Russians were to work their influence campaigns… the swing states. The key swing districts in those swing states at least, at most the social media handles/profiles of those most vulnerable to persuasion. I don’t think most Americans understand the Cambridge analytical model. I don’t even think the majority of Americans understand the social media advertising model what’s legal in the United States for political influencing on social media is illegal in Europe it’s illegal in Europe because these are psychological cyber weapons..
She is clear and concise in her explanations and you can hear the "historian analysis" in that clear recalling of the facts. Something we really need in the era of MAGA and the leader Trump.
I think the eyeliner tattooed vp’s threat to europe was equally a threat to us americans. So now we have an administration that is against us. Interesting (perplexing, dystopian, nauseating). The orange turd and his ilk have waged a war to turn the entire world against THEM (the administration). If I weren’t afraid to get on a plane, I would go to these European conferences and say I join you in opposing America’s administration. But that is the orange turd generating the very thing he did on Jan 6. Americans vs americans. To some of (apparently 76 million) people, orange is ok (although I am pretty sure that number is changing) and the rest of us are watching “The Breakfast Club” wanting something beautiful and youthful to happen only to realize disaster has come upon us. WTF, we’ve awakened, standing naked by the bed wondering not only where am I but how on earth do I get out of this situation then realizing I’m f’ing stuck. Help us.
Hang in there. I recommend Chop Wood Carry Water, also on substack, as another resource to know what’s going on and what WE THE PEOPLE can do about it. Or look for other resources to take action. There are lots of newsletters etcl out there these days.
Thanks very much, Heather. Another brilliant article.
So tonight I and hundreds of millions of Americans are looking forward to the day that Donald Trump is dead. Silenced forever. Maybe a painful stroke. So be it. We and billions of people around the world wish the same.
I reckon we North Americans should rejoice, at least, vaguely, as we prepare our emergency flight packs and passports. When Christian nationalists under generals Videla and Macera, bent on making Argentina great again back in the 80s, they had the acumen to organize at least 5000 extra-legal killings within nine months, had set up a mature network of 500 ready-to-go torture and murder centers within a year and worked out Project Condor, a deal with other South American Christian nationalists to help each other with their domestic and international cleansing efforts. On the other hand, Trump Christian Nationalists, if we are to believe Heather Cox Richardson, and I think we should, have barely got a national political police up and running, barely organized the criminal expertise necessary to weaponize state confidential and security data and barely laid the political groundwork for a grand White Man's Alliance with Russia (Sleepy Marco Rubio has only just broached the subject)! Mañana indeed, North America!
I’ve frozen credit bureau accounts, have multi factor authentication with financial accounts, have instant notices when charges are being made in my endeavors, signed up for protection related to huge companies that have been hacked and am part of a delete me service to get my name off of data brokers’ dark web and real web sales list. What else do I need to do to TRY to protect myself from the dogys? Reminds me of a joke: Do you know what happened to the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac? They lay awake all night wondering if there was a dog! From this dyslexic - best the all.
I love that Heather calls it dog-E! 🤣

Or it could be read backward as E-GOD.
I pronounce DOGE “dodge “ it’s a performative descriptor ;)
I also wonder what the Trumpanzees will feel about the fact that the dear leader demoted himself to King while Elon declares himself a god.

It’s all about the mind-f. I’m pretty sure my body will die before my brain but the MAGAs are already brain dead.

I feel like a reminder or what Paul Manafort does/did for Trump is in order.
Yeah, like selling polling data to Oleg Derisposka. We never got to here testimony from the intermediary, Konstantinos

Who is doing all the firing then if musk is not in charge of DOGE?
Where are the businesses, corporations, concerned companies. rich democrats; Musk has all your information. Are you not concerned?
Speak up it is your democracy too !!!
I know not every business believes in what Trump is doing !

Thank you.
New paid subscriber, but longtime unpaid. Is there significance to the typeface term 'Garamond' for the audio feed?
Thanks very much, Heather. Another brilliant article.
So tonight I and hundreds of millions of Americans are looking forward to the day that Donald Trump is dead. Silenced forever. Maybe a painful stroke. So be it. We and billions of people around the world wish the same.
So who is really in charge of DOGE?
Gladiator Musk, ready for battle: let loose the Lioness's.
I’m having difficulty with the site. It doesn’t play and kicks me off. This doesn’t happen with other blogs. Thanks
Me too , paid subscriber and I’m frustrated.

Follow the Money!!!
Anyone know who is narrating these "Letters" on the Podcast etc? It's very well done.
Sorry it came out Moose, but I had said Musk
