I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

All these people, including a young woman in a tennis skirt, were able to fend off these nasty call of duty ass pig fascists and save a guy's life. We can overwhelm them and we can drive them away.

Jamelle Bouie understands this, and calls for “a fundamental rethinking of the American-style political party” to one “where the party is a participatory organization with purpose and structure beyond electing a handful of ambitious people to office.”

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America.

The problem is not that America lacks abundance.

The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding America’s abundance.

The way to ensure your career in middle mgmt at a legacy media outlet is to convince the brass you understand the internet (because a lot of them sure don't get Online but they know they should because something something monetize clicks/views/social). "The Big Plan" changes every week. It's fun!!

as much as anything, Andrew Cuomo's campaign represents the bipartisan consensus at the top that consequences and standards are for other, lesser, working class plebes. destined to suffer what they must for the outcomes others merely would prefer. But No Kings should mean No Nobles either.

They CHOSE a freelancer who is not even on this beat — forsaking all of the talent on their masthead, and in their newsroom — solely on the grounds that he was already deeply indoctrinated in the hateful eugenicist agenda of the criminal hacker they protected. They *never* address this choice.

Anthropic has scored a major victory in an ongoing legal battle over AI models and copyright, with big implications for the many AI lawsuits winding through the US legal system. By @knibbs.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Anthropic Scores a Landmark AI Copyright Win—but Will Face Trial Over Piracy Claims

While the startup has won its "fair use" argument, it potentially faces billions of dollars in damages for allegedly pirating over 7 million books to build a digital library.
