Imogen Poots – upcoming nudity

It ought to be a full-frontal scene

From The Standard

One evolution is the employment of intimacy co-ordinators for sex scenes. ‘I think it’s great for people coming up through the industry to have that,’ she says. When Poots had one for the HBO series I Know This Much Is True, she called the co-ordinator and said they should talk about merkins (the pubic wigs used to protect an actor’s modesty). ‘And she was like, “I mean, do you want one?” I was like, “Oh, no, not really. I just thought I should broach that subject.”’ She went merkin-less in the end.

Twitter will try to crack down on covid-19 misinformation

So I guess they’ll be removing many of Trump’s tweets?

(Not to mention all of Nunes’s)

Your next President …

Here’s his hypothesis:

Without an election, Trump and Pence’s terms would expire, as would every member of the House of Representatives. That means the president pro tempore of the Senate would become president. Because of the non-election, 35 members of the Senate would also be gone because of their expired terms. Of the 65 remaining members, there would be 36 Democrats and 29 Republicans, making octogenarian and die-hard Batman fan Patrick Leahy the president pro tempore (as he has been in the past), and therefore the new President of the United States.

(The Senate does not have to choose the longest-serving member of the majority party. That is just a custom.)

Bernageddon. Biden runs the table.

That was expected. The latest polls had Biden ahead in Florida by 39 points, Illinois by 30, Arizona by 18.

Results:

Excluding votes for other candidates:

  • Biden won Florida 73-27.
  • Biden won Illinois 62-38.
  • Biden won Arizona 59-41

Sanders’ campaign strategists pointed out that a guy is outside their window calling “bring out your dead” and they are thinking of throwing Bernie on the cart.

Religious scam artist update

Pastor Paula White Wants Money For Her Fake Coronavirus Hospital. Paula White, the evangelical pastor and spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, says her ministry is like a hospital and is asking people to send her money for it. Except it’s not a real hospital. “We are a hospital to the sick,” White said over piano music during an online coronavirus prayer session, quickly adding that it’s for “not necessarily the physically sick. We are a hospital for those who are soul-sick, those who are spiritually sick.”

(Paula White told her followers that if they pay their Florida Power and Light (FPL) electric bill every month in lieu of giving it to her church, then they are treating the electric company better than they are God.)

I can see why Trump chose her as his spiritual adviser.

In other religious scam news:

Pastor: “You have two choices. Come in and receive your healing, or stay home and miss out on it.”

“Maldonado said that the coronavirus is a sign of the End Times, a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that God would ‘shake’ the nations. The current ‘shaking’ is not from the devil, but from God himself, Maldonado said, adding that it is the fear that is demonic. Maldonado challenged people to demonstrate their faith in the power of God to protect and heal them by coming to church in spite of public health warnings.”

Trust in God and don’t worry about keeping your powder dry.
