For TheBandwidth.co, I break down how Salina EsTitties a.k.a. Jason's elimination on #BB28 fits into the queer Big Brother canon. From Marcellas Reynolds to Andy Herren to Frankie Grande to Audrey Middleton to Kaycee Clark, queer rep on BBUS is far from straightforward.

Just spotted Madonna lasers while searching on Google for related terms. To see the green lasers in action, spot MADONNA (uppercase, red) and click on the name. 🪩

Settings I've rage-toggled, features I don't want to give up wishing for, and workarounds holding my life together. Get tech-y and annoyed with me on a Substack post. (It's still Pride + you can be supporting this queer writer.)

We also discussed the queer women, like Doechii, who dominated the 2025 Grammys. "It was amazing...it's such a gift to the world. These artists are tremendous. Their messages are so important. Their music is amazing. And what they stand for, what they mean to so many people."

Last year, I asked Lady Gaga if she met/spoke with Chappell Roan at the Grammys. "I saw Chappell for 3 seconds," Gaga told me. "I said, 'You inspire so many people.' And I meant that. It was just amazing to be there...it's the most fun I've ever had at the Grammys, honestly."

Lady Gaga is rumored to have five tracks on the upcoming "Devil Wears Prada 2" soundtrack, a report reads. The rumored tracks include "Shape of a Woman," "Runway" featuring Doechii, "Kiki" featuring Madonna, "French Lessons" featuring Chappell Roan, and "Energy" featuring Peggygou.

ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, I LOST MY DREAM JOB. I AM NO LONGER A STAFF WRITER AND EDITOR AT OUT MAGAZINE.

IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS, I HAD THE CHANCE TO COVER OUR CULTURE, SPOTLIGHT RISING STARS, IDOLIZE QUEER ICONS, AND VOUCH FOR NEW VOICES.

THE WORK WAS REAL. THE WORDS WERE MINE. THE STAKES WERE HIGH. WHATEVER COMES NEXT WILL BE AS TRUE, AS AUTHENTIC, AND AS DARING.

A FEW PIECES I'VE WRITTEN FOR OUT ARE YET TO COME. STAY TUNED. MEANWHILE... I HAVE SLEEP TO CATCH UP ON, BOOKS TO READ, AND NEW CLUSTERS TO EXPLORE.

#IndustryHBO spoilers! 🚨 You've all clocked the "Whitney" plot twist. But have you considered his last name yet? 🧐😏

Bernardo Sim @bernardosim.com · 17/02/2026

PSA for all the #IndustryHBO hot takes and coverage: It's Kit Harington — one R, not two. I often still make that mistake despite knowing it's an R, so please consider this just a peer-to-peer tip. Many folks also don't seem to even know that. Just a note, all love. 💛
