As film release so timely it feels like a headline ripped straight from the TENz newsfeed. Plainclothes emerges as one of the year’s most urgent q***r films, blending suspense with a piercing examination of cruising, sexual repression, and the machinery of state surveillance and desire. The film stars Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games) and Russell Tovey (Looking), whose performances ground the narrative in both tension and vulnerability.

Set in 1990s New York, the film follows an undercover cop ordered to entrap gay men—only to fall for the very community he’s supposed to police. Written & Directed by Carmen Emmi, folds a taut crime drama into a tender love story, exposing the real-life tactics used to criminalize q***r intimacy while exploring the messy truths of desire, secrecy, and survival.

Debuting at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Plainclothes snagged the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast, sealing its status as one of the year’s must-see q***r cinema events.

Yeah, but Nah!!! Roseanne Barr is once again reading ABC, accusing the network of a “double standard” after it reinstated Jimmy Kimmel Live! following a brief suspension.

Speaking to NewsNation on Tuesday, Barr drew a direct comparison to her own experience in 2018, when ABC chopped the Roseanne reboot after she posted a racist tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, a tweet she later attributed to “Ambien tweeting” at 2am.

“I got my whole life ruined, no forgiveness and all of my work stolen, and called a racist for time and eternity, for racially misgendering someone,” Barr said, “It’s a double standard.”

Back in 2018, ABC executives calling the posts “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values,”. The network then launched The Conners, a spinoff featuring most of Barr’s former castmates while killing off her character.

ABC canceling the Roseanne reboot in 2018 (also during a Trump presidency) comparison doesnt work. This moment became so polarizing because it was easy for even the most politically uninformed to grasp as a straightforward government overreach.

Two conservative-leaning TV-affiliate giants, both chasing FCC-related merger approvals, exerted pressure that led ABC/Disney to pull the plug on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. It was less about a cancelling a host and more about unprecedented broadcast collusion, financial interests and regulatory leverage aligning to oncoming authoritarianism.

Miss Viola Swamp is ready to get the badass kids in Room 207 together!

Netflix has won a heated bidding war for a live-action feature adaptation of the beloved 1977 children’s book Miss Nelson Is Missing, with comedy powerhouse Melissa McCarthy stepping into the dual roles of SWEET Miss Nelson and her STERN alter ego, Miss Viola Swamp.

The film will be penned by Brad Copeland (Arrested Development, Ferdinand) and produced by Reese Witherspoon through her Hello Sunshine banner, bringing extra sparkle, and discipline to the classic tale.

For the uninitiated: the students of Room 207 are the worst-behaved in school, running wild while their gentle teacher, Miss Nelson, struggles to keep order. One day she mysteriously disappears, and the kids are confronted by the strict, all-black-clad substitute Miss Viola Swamp, who doles out mountains of homework, cancels story time, and tolerates zero nonsense.

The Swamp Is Back!

The Bible says, “No one knows the day or the hour” of Christ’s return—but TikTok says it’s September 23rd!

A pastor claims to have had a vision that the Rapture will occur on September 23–24, 2025, coinciding with the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah (the Feast of Trumpets).

The idea has spread virally across TikTok, Instagram, and X, with the hashtag offering “rapture trip tips,” encouraging people to sell possessions, quit jobs, and make spiritual or prayer preparations.

Here are some TV shows featuring end-times vanishings and resurrections.

Nexstar owns nearly 200 stations, while Sinclair Broadcast Group operates or partners with more than 190. Together they reach well over half of U.S. households, brushing up against the FCC’s 39 percent national ownership cap.

Jimmy Kimmel’s sudden cancellation highlights how those numbers translate into political power. Allegations are swirling that business interests and the delicate FCC approval process for Nexstar’s proposed Tegna acquisition played a role. Disney, ABC’s parent company, is also seeking federal approval for ESPN’s deal to buy the NFL Network, with the league taking a 10 percent stake. Both conglomerates have strong incentives to stay in the FCC’s good graces.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! thrives on national comedic irreverence, but its broadcast pipeline now runs through a local-TV ecosystem increasingly dominated by conservative owners.

Turn the channel before the channels TURNs you!
I’ve been writing for years about the quiet, strategic censorship of media and art; a process now accelerating through “possible” politically backed corporate mergers that will further concentrate ownership, erode creative freedom, and silence dissent.

I first clocked this shift back in 2022 when Texas-based, conservative-leaning Nexstar Media Group acquired a 75 percent majority stake in the CW Network, then chopped my favorite shows and the entire Arrowverse. 😭

Today, Nexstar owns nearly 200 stations, while Sinclair Broadcast Group operates or partners with more than 190. Together they reach well over half of U.S. households, brushing up against the FCC’s 39 percent national ownership cap.

It’s giving full Succession season-arc. We are not a serious people.
