This clip from More Perfect Union tells us about Amazon workers trying to organize and shutting down a warehouse on Staten Island over the holidays...God almighty, imagine getting written up by management for water and bathroom breaks (and how typical for an oligarch like Jeff Bezos in this day and age to simply pretend a union doesn’t exist and arguing that in court); I’m as guilty as anyone else of ordering stuff from Amazon, especially this time of year, and if I can change my behavior in any way on that, I will...there’s an “Amazon Fresh” store (which I guess is groceries mainly) down the street from Le Manse Doomsy, so I‘ll make a point of avoiding that at a minimum...
...and this Rebel HQ clip brings us Repug U.S. House Rep Tim Burchett (who infamously told us that his father once said that we can’t do anything about gun violence, so Burchett decided to wash his hands of the problem as noted here) trying to gin up some alleged controversy about illegal immigrants getting counted in “Democrat” states (and once again, “Democrat” is always a noun, not an adjective), leading to greater electoral representation somehow – fortunately, Dem Rep Jasmine Crockett drops a few truth bombs, as it were, on how Texas uses an increase in minority populations (maybe the majority now, actually) to somehow justify increased funding for services in white Republican districts in that wretched state (and by the way, given what illegal immigrants contribute to our economy, I don’t have an issue with counting them in the census)...and I’m not up on anything having to do with Caitlin Clark or women’s basketball players; nothing against them, I hasten to add, but I’m just preoccupied with other stuff, that’s all (Jackson White provides commentary)...
...and leave it to The Daily Show to put the right "2024" spin on this holiday season...
...and ho, ho, ho – it looks like a certain white bearded individual with a red suit is looking to “get his freak on” before he does the whole thing with the sleigh and reindeer and dropping off gifts for the kids and everyone else 😉...
...and we only have a handful of seasonal selections left, but I think these deserve to be included also.
