Probably the greatest living Englishman, Tom Baker, the mighty fourth Doctor is an amazing 90 years young today! Happy Birthday, Mr Baker! That’s fully half a century of being everyone’s favourite Time Lord. This Day in the Life feature is from the Sunday Times soon after he became The Doctor. It’s a fantastic read. #DoctorWho #tombaker

Happy 90th Birthday Tom Baker 🎂

Happy Hour News

Let’s meet one of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s competitors for CO-04,Republican congressional candidate Richard Holtorf, a staunch opponent of abortion.

DENVER — Republican State Rep. Richard Holtorf, a candidate for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, disclosed Friday that he financed an abortion for one of two girlfriends he impregnated, saying it helped her “live her best life.”

Holtorf, who represents the Eastern Plains, made the comment while discussing a resolution by Democrats marking the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that established the right to an abortion.

“I respected her rights and actually gave her money to help her through her important, critical time so she could live her best life,” Holtorf said.

[Record scratch]

Holtorf did not appear to recognize the disconnect between his statement lauding the benefits of abortion access for his pregnant girlfriend and his staunch opposition to abortion rights, which led him to call abortion rights supporters “godless heathens” last year.

He went on to tell House colleagues Friday that he “had another beautiful woman” and got her pregnant, as well. That woman, Holtorf said, chose not to have an abortion but rather give up the child for adoption, a choice he praised.

“I have so much lived experience, you have no idea,” Holtorf said.

Oh, I have some idea, stud.

But I digest… And of course there was the inevitable walk-back, then the walk-back of the walk-back, and finally(!) the blaming the liberal media for having to walk it back, uh, twice before:

The liberal media took my comments completely out of context claiming I paid for an abortion. These comments are reprehensible and this shoddy reporting is amateur at best and grossly inaccurate.

Actually, the media tried to get him to clarify, but he turned down their requests:

Holtorf initially declined to tell 9NEWS when and where he paid for his girlfriend’s abortion.

“You will have to come see me here to discuss this is a personal matter and a personal life story,” Holtorf said via text message.

Oops, I digested again. Do continue:

The liberal media has shown their novice bias by deceitfully diving headfirst into the dark depths of lies. These snake oil peddlers will not shake my resolve as they stoop to attack my character and pro- life stance. I will always stand strong and advocate for the pro-life movement. The lesson here is to respect life and encourage women to choose life.”

Anyway, Boebert can clobber this fertile bum, methinks, especially because she was a teenage mom, and now a grandmother before she turned 40. That might be a bit more lived experience than wham-bam thank-you ma’am of this Holtorf.

British Israelism is a variant of #fundamentalist #Christian theology based on #pseudoarchaeology. In general it claims the lost tribes of Israel migrated to the British Isles and were the ancestors of today's White British people. It was a popular theory in the early 20th century, at least in the U.K. where it served as a theological pseudo-justification for the British Empire. It fell out of favour because the evidence for it is completely lacking.

I don't have any opinions on this new companion after 1 special, but it's kinda crazy the turnover on this show. It can't be *that* hard to film on the actors, and the pay can't be that low. I don't get why actors don't last that long on the show anymore.

Very few are launching into better gigs shortly after, and certainly not the companions.
