The other night we watched Hampstead, an English film about a widow who finds love with a man who lives in a shack in the park across the road. It was cute—it starred Diane Keaton—and was filmed in Hampstead Heath so it was lovely to look at but … about twenty-seven minutes in Carlos said:

“Is that Diane Keaton?”

“Yes.”

“See, I know my actresses.”

“Except you’ve been watching her for half-an-hour and you just now figured it out?”

“Well, she just put on a beret, and Diane Keaton always wears hats.”

A new piece to the puzzle … blond women who sing must be, as Carlos pronounces it, Ma-dough-nah, and every actress in a beret is Diane Keaton.

Tuxedo takes after his daddy because, as he notes, if you want to effect change: CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE! 

Even a cat gets it.

As it should be … Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be the first woman to lie in state at the US Capitol this week. Ginsburg’s casket would be placed in National Statuary Hall, where a formal ceremony will be held for invited guests only, while a separate ceremony will be held Wednesday morning at the high court for Ginsburg’s family, close friends and members of the court.

She deserves every honor this country can bestow upon her.

_____ has announced that his SCOTUS nominee will be a woman.

Blatant pandering from a man who clearly thinks women are so dumb, they will vote for him simply  because he nominates a woman to the court.

A woman who will no doubt pander to _____’s rabid evangelical, anti-choice base.

I was noting the other day that Rosa Parks, Harvey Milk and Ruth Bader Ginsburg were heroes of mine; and then I added John Lewis and Elijah Cummings.

I then realized the GOP has no heroes, well, other than Reagan who ignored the AIDS crisis, invented trickledown economics which don’t trickle down, and Iran Contra.

Yeah … no heroes.

Oh-so-hot Canadian actor François Arnaud, who played Cesare Borgia on Showtime’s The Borgias, has come out as bisexual via Instagram”

“I’m sure many bisexual guys feel the same and end up doing as I did: letting other people’s assumptions of straightness stand uncorrected, perhaps out of fear of oversharing. Under the guise of privacy, maybe. Probably because ‘masculinity’ is a most fragile currency … and because it’s really f**king scary to give up your privilege. … But here’s the thing, silence has the perverse effect of perpetuating those stereotypes, making bi guys invisible, and leading people to doubt that we even exist. … labels are frustrating and words, imperfect. But I’ve always considered myself bisexual. Not confused or trying to look edgy. Not disloyal. Not ashamed. [No longer] invisible.”

Welcome out, Francois. I know a lot of people don’t understand bisexuality, but we don’t need to understand it, we just need to accept it as your truth. But, you know, shallow me, when your bisexuality swings toward the male side, I’m here to lend a ‘helping’ hand.

Just sayin’.

The other day conservative author and wingnut Candace Owens claimed that Amazon employees at a shipping center damaged copies of her books that were set to be mailed out to customers.

Uh huh. Anyway, conservative and Scientology wingnut Kirstie Alley Tweeted at Owens to hold Amazon accountable and I was preparing to Tweet at Alley that maybe the people who bought the books were the ones to deal with Amazon, if in fact the story was true.

But I discovered Kirstie Alley has Blocked me. I guess she doesn’t like people who disagree with her “church” and her “politics.”

Sorry, not sorry.

Joe Biden has a new ad running. It features ______ speaking at one of his rallies, where he says:

“If I lose to him, I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I will never speak to you again. You will never see me again.”

Cut to Joe:

“I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.”

Comedy gold!

QAnon nutbag Marjorie Taylor-Green, running for a Congressional seat in Georgia, decided to go after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter with this:

“As a blonde woman I would like to take a moment to thank Congresswoman @AOC.

She has single handily [sic] put an end to all “dumb blonde” jokes.

Blondes everywhere appreciate your service and sacrifice.”

AOC has zero fucks to give and replied like this:

“Don’t worry Mrs. Greene, I completely understand why you need to swing + miss at my intellect to make yourself feel better.

You seem to have trouble spelling your insults correctly.

Next time try 'single-handedly,' it’ll work better.

Good luck writing legislation!”

Love.Her.

And I love him … blue-eyed hottie, model and fitness trainer, Alexander Breck. I love a man who can rock a hot …and nothing else, who looks good in faux fur … and nothing else … and tighty whities …and nothing else. I’m sensing a theme here …
