#blackcatbookclub update: He's happy to #bookblock crossword puzzles, too. Tuesday is Sneuzday. #blackcats #catsonbooks #adoptdontshop #catsofbluesky

A glossy black short-haired black rests his chin on a front paw that is on the corner of a paperback "Thursday Crossword Puzzles" that's on top of a thick light-blue hardcover book, with a pair of blue reading glasses on the edge of the book in front of him. He looks thoughtful -- or sleepy.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
