        First they came for Pepe, but I didn’t speak up cause I didn’t post Pepe memes. Then they came for Twitter. But I didn’t speak up cause I wasn’t on Twitter. Then they came for my Doge, but there was no one left to speak for me.

        Or some more smart joke like that.

        Heh. I found a comment that someone tipped me with that long long ago. It was worth less than half a cent at the time.

        Still had it. Sold for $90 iirc a couple years back. Only crypto profit I ever had lol

          Huh, someone tipped me, too - worth $150 or so now. I accepted the tip back then, but the address linked looks empty. Can’t figure out how I’d get access to the wallet anyhow. Oh well.

            There was a whole drama years ago about the creator of dogetipbot running away with all the stored coins. Very sad story, I had around 150k stored at that time.

        “you don’t like to work for trump? Looks like your position is no longer a requirement”.

      They’re not even creating a new branch because that would require congressional approval. They’re just renaming the US Digital Service (the IT department for the feds) to the US Doge service. Probably chose it to keep the acronym the same, USDS. Completely pointless

        It appears that, before they completely removed the Spanish translation the “Go to home page” button might have been still Spanish and read “Vete a casa”
