A tough tough job

My god, I had no idea! Jolyon Maugham is facing down Trump AND Putin AND Murdoch AND the billionaires AND the Rothermeres. That is one hell of a lot of heroic facing down. I wonder, has it made any difference yet?

By the way that 33 is the final number on a string of tweets. Yes that’s right, 33 of them. I can’t see them because blocked but I’m sure they make clear how important Jolyon Maugham is.

    And he still found time to discover a cure for cancer and rescue a kitten stuck in a tree.

    Are people actually ready to accept a superhero whose costume is a kimono and a cricket bat? The look is a little low budget, and I doubt that a cape or helmet is going to save it.

    Maybe beating the fox to death was a form of blood magic that gave him these superpowers.

    I refuse to be impressed until he is also facing down Godzilla, the big bad wolf, and the wicked witch of the west. Now those are tough opponents.

    I think he meant a specific billionaire, not the billionaires.

    One helluva lot of facing down indeed. Some movie producer should offer him a contract to star in the upcoming movie The TransFrankenstein TransMonster. Should rake in squillions at the box office.

    Very amusing comments here.

    To be pedantic, he actually claims to be facing down “the billionaire“, which I take to be a reference to JK Rowling, aka “she who cannot be named”.

    Good catch!

    Sounds like these 33 tweets are an excuse to the “trans community” for not doing enough, an extended exercise in “the dog ate my homework.” Interesting that he feels compelled to make this long list of excuses, as if he’s afraid of something. I wonder what that could be…..

    But what about the trans-chicken community? Just because the poor dear was assigned fox at birth doesn’t mean it should be excluded from the henhouse.

    Fair enough; the one billionaire, not the multiple billionaires. I don’t remember if I rounded it up to a plural on purpose or just didn’t notice – but I know I didn’t realize it was code for JKR. Petulant little shit that Maugham is.
