For those who don’t know, this is Joe Lycett. He’s a British comedian who’s also bisexual/pansexual (he uses both labels interchangeably afaik), and this isn’t an isolated thing.
He has a show called Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back which explains consumer rights, exposes dodgy businesses and actually fights on behalf of people who have been scammed by those businesses, often successfully.
He also legally changed his name to Hugo Boss in protest of the fashion house Hugo Boss hitting a local brewery with cease and desist because they trademarked the word boss. The protest was successful and Hugo Boss receded the c&d.
He’s a cool guy and I recommend looking him up. I also recommend looking up the notable cases from JLGYB on the Wikipedia link below
Recognition to the people on tumblr who are poised and willing to take on the mantle of the call and response when the heavy hand of fate drapes it over their shoulders. Shout out to those who, promoted by fate, know it is their turn – and their duty – to add:
“like to charge, reblog to cast”
Echoing a key phrase (“very beautiful, very powerful”)
Everyone doing a KUNGPOWPENIS
“God forbid women do anything”
“which could mean nothing”

I wasn’t expecting much. Maybe Vader’s baritone with hints of melody. I was *not* expecting it to be a masterpiece, what the fuck, this is a million times better than I was expecting and it’s unironically really good. Turn on that volume button.
I mean, these are the dudes that did Stacy’s Dad, I expect nothing less than brilliance.
Greenland has a military base to protect NATO/EU. Canada has natural resources and control maritime waterways/shipping. Panama has sanctions on Russian vessels traveling through the canal.
Elon Musk has asked whether the U.S. should “liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government” as the tech billionaire intervened in U.K. politics again.
In recent months, the key adviser to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly posted attacks on social media of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his center-left Labour Party, which was elected in July.
Most recently, the South African-born U.S. businessman has focused on child sexual abuse and the U.K. government’s handling of investigations into organized gangs that allegedly oversaw the systematic rape of young women.
The Tesla CEO has also pushed the “two-tier policing” conspiracy theory, claiming British officials treat pro-Palestinian or Black Lives Matter demonstrators more leniently than far-right protesters.
Musk’s fascination with the U.K. was reportedly set to extend to making a substantial donation to Reform U.K., the growing right-wing party. But that now looks in doubt after Musk on Sunday said leader Nigel Farage “doesn’t have what it takes.”
[…] Musk’s fallout with Farage — the political leader had described Musk as “a hero” — stems from the Reform U.K. leader distancing himself from jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Musk has said Robinson should be released from prison. On Monday, Starmer responded to Musk’s attacks, condemning “those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible.”
Far-right megalomaniac and world peace threat Elon Musk suggests that Americans “liberate” the UK from its supposedly “tyrannical” government as part of Musk’s quest to upend the world order that has kept European free from fascism.
With policy rollbacks ahead of the inauguration, Meta capitulates to Trump and MAGA media’s false claims of censorship

Before President-elect Donald Trump has even taken office, Meta is again capitulating to false right-wing claims of anti-conservative bias and censorship, announcing that it will end fact-checking and remove most content moderation from its platforms.
Both the substance of the changes and the messaging from Meta mirror — and are seemingly a direct appeal to — Trump and MAGA media, who have spent years claiming to be defenders of free expression and victims of censorship.
But Meta’s announcement omits two key facts: Right-leaning Facebook content has consistently outperformed left-leaning and nonaligned content, showing it’s not being censored. And previous gaps in content moderation have caused real-world harm, helping foment the January 6 insurrection, contributing to anti-LGBTQ sentiment, and fueling vaccine hesitancy.
