Before his rise and fall*, Louis CK was the stand-up who asked Donald Rumsfeld if he was a lizard. Mr. Rumsfeld didn’t deny it.

British Holocaust denier David Icke.

<3 Alan Davies but also adore Stephen Fry. He will always be the best Jeeves.

I was reminded of how Ted Kaczynski’s brother contacted the FBI after reading the Unabomber’s manifesto in the New York Times and realizing it was similar to letters Ted had written him. 

Obligatory Stephen Fry, on Diana Mitford, from QI season four episode four:

YES. “Betraying” her makes it sound like Nancy revealed a secret entrusted to her. Everyone knew Diana was a Nazi — she bragged about it to the end of her life. She used to swan around the pre-WW II Nazi rallies in Germany, in black leather, making the Nazi salute with her sister Unity who was, I’m sorry to say,…

Jessica was my favorite Mitford, although I have a special place for Deborah as she married the Duke of Devonshire. Don’t forget that Unity was conceived in Swastika, Canada!

“Imagine a Real Housewives franchise where half the cast goes Nazi.”

Now Diamond & Silk have company on the Trump Train.

I’m fascinated by the Mitford sisters. You forgot to mention that Jessica Mitford was super close with Maya Angelou:

Okay, State Senator Kristina Roegner, I’ll ask: is a six week fetus viable?

Yeah, I was obsessively taking pregnancy tests (since I was trying to conceive) and I didn’t get my first real positive until 4 weeks, which would have left me 2 weeks to abort if that’s how I wanted to go. Some people who consider themselves “moderate” on abortion will say things like “Oh well, 6 weeks is a long…

So does a mousetrap. Beating heart, schmeating heart. Hearts are not particularly unique.

“Your baby can pee inside your uterus” is way less marketable for the anti-abortion crowd.

It’s not even an actual heart. It’s twitching muscle cells that will develop into a heart

This just makes me sick, because you know it and all  the other restrictive laws  are just plans to get to the supreme court and see if their new conservative majority makes the difference or not.

These laws have nothing to do with babies, and everything to do with power over, and control of, women. The fact that there are no exceptions for rape of incest proves that they do not give a flying fuck about women.  We have no other value than our womb, and it doesn’t even belong to us, it belongs to men. 

But she said viability is a “moving target” because it varies based on the part of the world where a pregnant woman lives or the point in time when advancements in medical technology occurred.

I know this has been stated many times, but 6 weeks along is barely even considered pregnant. The only reason I knew I was is because my cycle is so regular you can create a calendar off of it, plus my husband and I had been trying for a child. And even then, I didn’t realize at 6 weeks because I had been crazy busy…

Two things I’ll add for thrifting: I buy wooden frames for my artwork. I’ll sand and repaint them to work them into the design of the art it’s framing so it becomes part of the piece. About the rabbit fur and other fur coats (I hate the fur industry too) that can redeem them somewhat (no one at thrift stores are…
