The real reason we have January
![Ancient Rome. KING POMPILIUS, the second king of Rome, is reclining dramatically on his chaise longue, fingers on temples, near to an amphora of WINE. His slave, SPIRO, is nearby.

POMPILIUS:
Hey, Spiro...
3
POMPILIUS:
Hey, *Spiro*…
SPIRO:
Yes, King Pompilius?
4
POMPILIUS:
I was just thinking like…
I hope you’re not planning on giving me any of that *wine*…
5
SPIRO:
Would you like some wine, sir?
POMPILIUS:
NO!
6
POMPILIUS:
Haven’t I told you Spiro, I’m *doing dry January*?
SPIRO:
Quite a few times, sir.
7
POMPILIUS:
I mean it’s doing my head in but I feel sooo healthy for it y'know?
SPIRO:
Yes sir you’ve mentioned that too
8
SPIRO:
Sir - may I ask… what is dry January?
9
POMPILIUS:
It’s a thing where you don’t drink all January.
SPIRO:
and what is… January?
POMPILIUS:
It’s a new month I made up.
10
SPIRO:
You made up a new month
POMPILIUS:
Yeah, two actually.
11
[Pompilus produces a scroll with the Roman two-faced god JANUS drawn on it]
POMPILIUS:
This one’s January, I named it after Janus who has two faces
12
POMPILIUS:
so he can tell as many people as possible that he’s-
SPIRO:
…doing dry January, yes

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
