Everyone needs to stop baselessly speculating on who this is it'll only make things worse. As members of the public there's Little in Britain we can do to expose someone who's famous for supposedly having Got Talent

We used to be a proper country.
In 1976, the U.S. government funded one of the most psychedelic short films ever made. It was filled with odd images and occult symbols. 🎬 from 200 (1976) by Vince Collins.

For Halloween, I think you should get a cape. Not a cheap plastic one from Spirit Halloween, but a bespoke handmade one from Casa Seseña. When you put it on, shift your shoulders back and forth and then sweep the front edge across your shoulders, swatting anyone in close vicinity

Not only has he already arrived in Florida, but the Trump administration has already issued Bolsonaro and his family expedited visas…. while ICE continues to illegally kidnap immigrants with Green Cards. Who have spent years legally applying for their papers, paid their taxes & spent thousands of dollars with their process. 😫🤬
BREAKING: COWARD ON THE RUN! Trump pal Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly FLED Brazil for Florida to seek asylum after losing to Lula and dodging a court order to surrender his passport. Like father, like son. Four years after former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro skipped town to Florida after losing an election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, his son appears to have done THE EXACT SAME THING, only this time with a money-laundering investigation hot on his heels. Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil’s presidential election on Sunday, missed a Tuesday-morning deadline to hand his passports to federal police. According to The Guardian, the Brazilian news site Metrópoles reported, citing people close to the family, that he was on a plane to the United States, would land in Florida Tuesday afternoon, and planned to request political asylum. “The Donald Trump administration has been informed,” the site added. CNN Brasil reported he left with his wife and two daughters in the early hours of the morning. Allies told Folha de S.Paulo the escape was “organized and enabled by a lawyer close to the Bolsonaro clan.” The route was reportedly cinematic. Argentine outlets said he crossed into Argentina, possibly on foot, planning to board a private jet in Puerto Iguazú, then ditched the plane once word leaked. Brazilian police say there’s no record of him passing any official border checkpoint, and The Washington Post reports officials still don’t know where he is. His phone returns an out-of-service message. His usually nonstop Instagram has gone silent. Here’s the kicker. On Monday, after his passport was canceled, Bolsonaro posted a video declaring: “I never thought about leaving the country.” Yeah, right. Why the rush? A Supreme Court justice canceled his passport minutes after the results came in, tied to a federal investigation into his possible involvement in a money-laundering scheme worth about $905 million involving betting companies. A family adviser told the Post he was “terrified,” worried he’d be jailed this week. O Globo reported he appeared “possessed” and afraid of arrest in a Monday meeting. His camp calls it political persecution. The family track record isn’t helping. His father is under house arrest after being sentenced to more than 27 years for plotting a coup. His brother Eduardo, sentenced to four years for lobbying Trump to sanction the judges in their father’s case, is already living in Texas, beyond the reach of Brazilian law. He’d said last week that Flávio should leave if he lost. Lula’s Workers’ Party has asked the Supreme Court to order Flávio’s arrest and put him on Interpol’s Red Notice list. The State Department and Homeland Security didn’t immediately respond to questions. So, the Trump administration that deports grandfathers in their pajamas may soon be asked to welcome a fugitive senator dodging a money-laundering probe. Florida is starting to look less like a state and more like a getaway car for Trump’s friends. And we thought Trump’s goal was to deport criminal aliens, not import them. Bolsonaro’s escape to a foreign country provides Americans with a preview of what may happen to the Trump family and the most infamous members of his administration once they are removed from their positions of power. Except the country they’re most likely to flee to is Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Please like and share if you think Flavio Bolsonaro is a criminal coward JUST LIKE TRUMP!

The move was ruled unconstitutional; if the president wanted to cut the money for USAID, the executive Branch should have gone through legal channels, and not hired what they believed to be a contractor to go into the government computers and eliminate the funds on his own.

“I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT” is the single saddest sentence i’ve ever heard
Jimmy Fallon asks Sam Altman if he uses ChatGPT to raise the baby he has with his husband, and his answer is hilarious Jimmy Fallon: “You, you and your husband just had a baby. Congratulations, yeah. How old? How old is the baby?” Sam Altman: “Eight month old?” Jimmy Fallon: “Are you loving him?” Sam Altman: “So much. I have no non-cliched thing to say, but it is by far so much better than anything anyone tells you. I just so incredibly happy.” Jimmy Fallon: “And do you use ChatGPT when, when raising your baby?” Sam Altman: “I do. I mean I feel kind of bad about it because I, we have this like genius level at everything, intelligence sitting there like waiting to unravel the mysteries of humanity.” “And I'm like, why my kid stop dropping his pizza on the floor and laughing?” “So I feel like I'm not asking a good enough question.” “But it is, I don't know. I cannot imagine having gone through like figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT. Clearly people did it for a long time, no problem.”

Russell Brand’s trial is devastating. Testimony describes him as a rabid animal, demanding sex every few hours from whoever happened to be around, and taking it regardless of consent Brand’s defense is that women knew he was a degenerate maniac, so they should have expected it by being in a room with him (several allege he attacked them in public and tried to drag them into bathroom stalls) This is separate from FIVE disturbing allegations in Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has zero regard for women as human beings - I can’t even imagine how many victims there truly are Blows my mind that so many people peddle his lunacy portraying him as a truth-telling martyr being smeared by the establishment - and buy his newfound religious hucksterism Makes sense he’s leapt into the movement of sexual offenders and pedophiles, where he belongs (other than prison)

Abolishing the Indian Act while also passing bill C5 while also declaring mines and pipelines projects of natural interests ... Carney's plans to strip Indigenous people of their rights over traditional territory could not be more obvious.
Mark Carney on abolishing the Indian Act: "I'm committed to a process that moves Canada beyond the Indian Act."

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

Carney is only interested in dismantling what little power Indigenous people in Canada have. This is about resource extraction and everyone knows it.
Abolish the Indian Act. We have nothing to lose but our chains. We will, of course, need new legislation that is an interface between the Federal government and First Nations. And this MUST be created alongside Chiefs and First Nation governments every step of the way. But it is time to move past the era of this outdated, racist, and patriarchal legislation. I support Prime Minister Carney’s work to position Canada as a global leader in human rights and democracy. The Indian Act is inconsistent with achieving that vision. Our laws at home should reflect the values we champion around the world. It’s time for a relationship with First Nations people that reflects who we are as Canadians today, recognizes nationhood, and lives up to the true nature of reconciliation.
