Look putting Musk's stupidity aside (and believe me, I'm absolutely livid as a former educational researcher), I need to get this unpopular opinion off my chest.
It's... actually kind of fucking funny to name an agency DOGE.
Hear me out! NPR today kept saying it over and over again with straght fucking faces (well, voices) and the whole god damned time I'm muttering to myself "it's a meme, it's a god damned meme". It's like if someone named an agency LOSS, I would fucking lose my shit. If this was any other timeline and a shitlord like Musk wasn't the one making the joke, it would be funny.
Anyway that's my guilty thought I wanted to share to you, random internet strangers. I hope in better times, President AOC has a SUS initiative or something. I just love reporters being forced to say this shit.
I think what they're saying is that it would be funny, if the context wasn't so infuriating
Yup, in particular just the straight faced people having to say it over and over, it reminds me of Boaty McBoatface. It's so absurd, but I might just be losing my mind. I'm the type to crack jokes at a funeral, though- I think it's a coping mechanism.
