The internet has turned fringe belief into mainstream politics and policy from authoritarianism to vaccines. With democracy itself threatened, is it time to go back to a previous world of landlines, letters and face-to-face-contact, audiotapes and Ansaphones? What would we miss about the online world that is worth the risk to liberal culture and basic freedoms? Should we turn the internet off?
The Boyfriend is structured around queer men living and working together for two months. Throughout their time, they navigate love and friendship, which flits between sweet and intense. In the first season, the men lived in a beachside house. However, for season 2, Netflix is swapping the beach for the snow. The second season sees the men live in the winter landscape of Lake Akan in Hokkaido. This time, their group will work at a peppermint-coloured coffee truck.
For seven years, straight people let the Queer Eye guys into their apartments. No questions asked by the way. They say 'Come in! Yeah, take my sofa and compost it. It was given to me by my grandmother. She fought for women's rights. I don't give a f*** about her anymore. Yeah, replace it with a slab of reclaimed wood'.

The state of Florida has become the epicenter of Republicans' rainbow crosswalk crackdown. The DeSantis administration has heeded warnings from federal Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who has falsely claimed Pride art is distracting to drivers. Duffy wrote in a July 1 letter to the nation's governors that all non-freeway intersections and crosswalks must be kept "free from distractions." In a subsequent X post, he said, "Taxpayers expect their dollars to fund safe streets, not rainbow crosswalks."
Nestled within that outrageousness was swift promotion of her beautiful new short film, A Friend of Dorothy. In it, she plays Dorothy, an elderly widow with limited mobility who meets young, closeted queer man JJ (played with startling fragility by newcomer Alistair Nwachukwu) after he accidentally kicks his football into her garden. A friendship blossoms, as they provide a sense of belonging and stability to one another at a time when, despite their different life stages, both are feeling cast adrift.
Raine and Dumas, 24 and 26 respectively, share an Instagram account - @bigupsofficial - where they posted a reel of highlights from their time together already on Sunday (7 December). Captioned, "From day one.. to everything time can't erase," the reel is set to Charli XCX's "Everything is romantic feat. Caroline Polachek."

Through all of this, one of the most important things I've learned is that success on the court isn't just about physical skill - it's about discovering your personality and staying true to yourself,

But, curiously, the singer chose to perform an acoustic cover of Chappell Roan's gay bar-themed hit Pink Pony Club, widely considered to be an LGBTQ anthem because it describes a young woman who finds self-acceptance in a place where she feels free from her strict upbringing. Chappell Roan arrives at the 67th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.
