    An app named Hamilton. "I named the app after my dog..." Who is your dog named after? Is this a dog whistle?

      I wanted a dog my whole adult life, and my wife and daughter finally relented when I turned 50, on the condition that they chose the name and the breed. So I got a dog called Hamilton, and a lifetime of people asking if he&#x27;s named after the musical. Or Lewis Hamilton.

      The only dog whistle he responds to are crisp packets rustling.

      It&#x27;s important to remember that not everything is about politics, and people with somewhat mainstream politics don&#x27;t really need to secretly signal each other, they&#x27;re mostly shouting about it. Take a breath, everything&#x27;s going to be alright in the long run.

      I wish you the best.
