on National Cat Day, i am presenting you with a cat.
if you haven't seen a cat before, this is what they look like. granted, details often vary. but the head, legs, fur, triangle ears -- the core structure -- tends to be consistent.

Amazon announced plans to lay off 14,000 employees as it looks to invest more in AI.
Wall Street cheered the news, sending Amazon stock prices higher.
This will boost Amazon's CEO pay and bolster Jeff Bezos's net worth, which is now $250 billion.
The system is rigged.

Great recap of last night's World Series double header from @mollyknight.bsky.social -- and also great to learn that Michael Schur, arguably this generation's greatest TV mind, is big into baseball.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Republicans don’t want you to notice — but buried in their cruel bill is a quiet repeal of the ACA.
Millions could lose healthcare. We stopped this before. We must stop it again.

Trump’s reckless and discriminatory travel ban doesn’t make us safer. All it will do is further isolate the United Statesfrom our allies and weaken our global leadership.

Instead of owning up to the fact that HHS blocked billions in federal child care funding at his direction, RFK Jr. stalled, deflected, and lost his temper —only to ultimately admit that the order came from his department.

Elon’s coup data is forcing the courts to serve as the server system admin and adjudicate read/write/execute permissions like an IT guy. This is literally saving democracy rn.
SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.
