Numerous poorly-sourced stories are making the claim that Team Hillary blames Obama for her loss.

While this is plausible, it not only ignores the toxic effect Obama support has had on other candidates in the past, but if embraced by her supporters has absolutely terrible optics:

She couldn't do it without a man.

Not the message you want your “feminist icons” to be sending, I think…

This is a terrible list of possible security questions.

How many of these questions are trivial to answer for anyone with even a small social-media presence? How many of the rest are things that people over 30 probably don’t even remember? And seriously, zip code? Date of birth? Last four digits of SSN? To stop someone from trying to break into my brokerage account?!?

How about these, instead?

• Who do you most regret voting for?
• Who would you go to jail for sex with?
• What's the ugliest car you've ever seen?
• What pistol do you keep by the bed?
• What's the name of the first person you begged for sex?
• Did it work?
• What do you only wear when no one else is around?
• Lid up, lid down, seat down, or "Asian squat toilet"?
• What's the most ridiculous food fad?
• What do you keep losing?
• What does cilantro taste like to you?
• What was the first thing you had surgically removed?
• Where do you usually masturbate?
• What foreign country would you never visit?
• What historical figure would you travel back in time to kill?
• What's your favorite smell?
• What part of your body was involved in your first emergency room visit?
• What celebrity would you clone?
• What's your favorite food you can't find any more?
• What's the worst injury you ever caused by accident?
• Who would you lock up and throw away the key?
• What superpower would you abuse the most?

Don’t answer in the comments, or I’ll steal your identity…

“Ninja” was obviously too broad a category, but “ninja cat_ears” wasn’t quite enough. Besides, you can’t have too much Yuki, so I expanded the search to include all animal ears, real and fake.

No red half-rims, so let’s start off with a little Nonsense:

I decided to see how much detail I could get with the 20-degree v-bit. This was carved out of the end grain of a generic hardwood 1-inch square dowel.

Update: I shined a flashlight onto the seal to get a better look at it.

This is a 2-inch square seal created in Illustrator with my script, imported to VCarve Desktop, and cut from a mounted linoleum block on my Nomad with a 20-degree v-bit. The hardest part about getting a good firm impression on paper is that my stamp pad is too darn small; I’ll have to buy an uninked pad at an office supply shop and load it up with the good pigment.

Also making a good impression is glamour model Meru Tsujimura, who cannot be found at office supply shops…

In other news, the recent “women’s march” on DC featured a speaker who got 25-to-life for her active role in kidnapping, torturing, raping, and murdering a 62-year-old man.

Which feminism do you prefer?
