  1. About that …Amazon Plans to Replace More Than Half a Million Jobs With Robots.

    I’m OK with it as long a Jeff Bezos is one of them.

    At least the robots won’t need to keep a water bottle handy to pee into, in order to make their quota.

  4. Via The Hill: Fetterman supports GOP ‘nuking’ filibuster to end shutdown.

    Fetterman is right on this. The Democrats ran on killing the filibuster. Even if the only thing this shutdown accomplished is a dead filibuster, I think it would have been worth it.

    We should have a government that can function, and people should get the government they vote for. This might make them less likely to vote for lunatics.

  5. By Alan Elrod at Liberal Currents: Sex Is Gay, Rape Is Epic, No Fatties: Young Right-Wing Men Are Obsessed With Male Power and Male Bodies.

    This is why people were woefully unprepared to understand anything about the racist podcaster shooter — the sexual politics in Groyperland makes absolutely no sense.

    You can try to map it onto something sensical, but you lose a lot in the process, and end up thinking “if the shooter was dating a trans woman, he must be liberal” rather than “getting involved with a woman is gay, because of cuddling, so the less gay option is to find a man who can be a woman so you can both play call of duty afterwards instead of all that emasculating cuddling.”

    Black is white*, up is down, and heterosexual sex is gay.

    The thing is Lex is no longer the CEO of Amazon. He retired to play with his rockets.

  8. @Gustopher:

    The filibuster won’t be killed, there are too many senators, on both sides of the aisle, that want to avoid hard votes.

    I wonder what Fetterman’s next career will be?

  9. There’s an update on the hit-and-run pickup driver who struck the No Kings protester. According to Cleveland 19 News, Driver identified and charged for Jackson Township hit and run, the 77-year-old driver was straddling two lanes, nearly hit another vehicle, and then breached the curb and hit the person who said they were standing about 2 feet from the curb at the time. According to police, the victim’s injuries did not rise to the level of felony charges.

    The problem is, when you run into one like me that’s all into cuddling. As my poor non-cuddle person partner. You want a 200 lb cat?

    That’s because they’re the heirs to the 4chan trolls.
