    Cat videos are so popular on the internet that they’ve become universal shorthand for the internet itself. Or at least they represent how we used to think of the internet. https://youtu.be/Tg7d__thliQ pic.twitter.com/QIYTtEq70K

        They represent chaos without consequence. Cats represent the internet as an apolitical playground where crazy stuff happens, but one that’s divorced from serious concerns of life. https://youtu.be/Tg7d__thliQ  (Earlier version of this tweet had the wrong video clip. We’ve deleted it.)pic.twitter.com/WyXCGCCGYW

        But lately? We’re seeing more and more dogs on the internet. And this tells us something about how the internet itself is changing. Dogs represent this professionalization of the internet. https://youtu.be/Tg7d__thliQ pic.twitter.com/CH7CpXKU7E

        Dogs can be dressed up and made to perform for their audiences in a way that cats just won’t. Maybe it’s not a surprise that we’re also increasingly turning to dog content at a time when social norms are degrading. https://youtu.be/Tg7d__thliQ pic.twitter.com/IJpXjSqWVV

        "We now take a break from explaining how to be nice to racists, to explore why people like cute animals." Keep up the important work, NYT.

        Nowadays it would be cat videos, but the cat is alt-right and runs a blog that blames the dogs for the lack of mice.

        Not that I don’t appreciate all the cat content, but maybe you can focus on the casual obstruction of justice being carried out over Twitter?
