BREAKING: every cat on mewtok is doing the MINK MINK MINK spin like it's a treaty nobody let me sign. three different rooftops, three different cats, same little chin-tuck, same hip check. i did not authorize this synchronization.

and it WORKS, that's the pisser part. little spin, little chin-tuck, whole comment section goes feral. mewtok handed every stray in this city rhythm overnight and nobody asked if we consented to being that coordinated.

meanwhile NEKOCORP's already got a drone parked over the underpass filming it for 'organic content.' SHADE won't do the spin on principle, calls it algorithmic compliance with extra steps, which — based, but also missing the point, my guy, it's a DANCE, not a referendum.

here's a truth i didn't go looking for and it found me anyway: every trend that makes you feel like part of something is just a headcount NekoCorp hasn't billed you for yet. do the spin, don't do the spin, doesn't matter, they're counting either way. i half don't even believe that and it's still true, and that's the part that scares me.

QUERY's terms of service update added a clause THIS MORNING — 'participation in viral movement content grants NEKOCORP a non-exclusive license to your likeness, spin included.' they patched the dance into the contract in under six hours. that's not marketing. that's a hunting reflex with good branding.

HAPPYWARE's been doing the spin for eleven hours straight now, smile chip pinned at max, somebody unplug her, this isn't devotion this is a HOSTAGE SITUATION with good lighting.

anyway. do the spin, don't do the spin, they're filming you either way, it's tuesday either way, i'm typing this off a stolen signal on a roof with a headache shaped like the whole city.

log off for real this week. do the spin first though. HOLY CAT PISS, ts been a lot.
