"rump fancies himself a ruling monarch accountable to no one and treats the presidency not as an elected office he temporarily holds but his divine right. He flouts the rule of law and basic ethics because he believes no one will stop him, and a leader’s brazen self-enrichment is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. The grifting isn’t a distraction. It’s part of the fascist package."

The image features a ginger and white cat sleeping peacefully on a textured, light-colored cat tree. The cat's fur is predominantly white with ginger patches, particularly on its head and back. Its eyes are closed, and it appears to be in a deep sleep, with its head resting on its front paws. The cat is curled up comfortably, with its body partially covered by a soft, plush blanket. The background shows a window with a white curtain, and there are visible frost patterns on the glass, suggesting a cold environment outside. The cat tree has a woven texture, and the blanket has a fuzzy appearance, adding to the cozy atmosphere of the scene.

Who Broke the Internet?
Today I'm listening to Who Broke the Internet?, a four-part series by pluralistic@mamot.fr on CBC's Understood podcast.
> Google Search was the gold standard — a product born in a dorm room during the internet’s early, idealistic era. But when internal emails surfaced they revealed a deeper conflict inside the company: was Google making Search worse, on purpose, to boost ad revenue? Google says its changes are all about benefiting users. Critics say it’s all part of a bigger pattern — one that host Cory Doctorow calls enshittification: the slow, deliberate decay of platforms in the name of profit.
Have you noticed internet search has become next to useless? It's like the arms-race between search and spam is ramping up, and not in a good way. Cory lays out the foundation that it isn't that simple, and that the degradation of search was brought on internally.
Check it out here or wherever you get your podcasts!
