OMG.BLOG!: This straight guy went to a gay club and felt the need to broadcast — literally — his discomfort with the whole thing, referencing Jesus and bragging that he gave a couple of motivational speeches. But it's okay, because he was being dead-ass. This guy would gladly let you get escorted to an oven in the future — book that.

OUT.COM: The creator of Queer Eye is urging us to listen to Trumpers, because when you listen to people — they listen back. Is he fucking out of his mind? These people are not listening. They'd love to string up Jonathan Van Ness — they don't want a chat. I was always uncomfortable with that show, because it seemed to treat Bush voters who were actively working to remove all gay rights, even trying to codify gay marriage bans in state constitutions, as cute, rough-around-the-edges projects, makeovers in waiting. Now, it all makes sense. The vibe of the show is that we're clowns and we're not here to make waves.

L.A. TIMES: Just as more containment was achieved on L.A. wildfires, firefighters now work to save homes in new areas, including possibly Brentwood. The Getty, with a priceless, historic stash of art, is — so far — untouched.

INSTAGRAM: There is so much disinfo being spread regarding the L.A. wildfires that even I — who am basically a scold when it comes to reporting questionable shit — was fooled. A very reasonable-sounding report stated the historic Art Deco home of Dolores Del Rio and Cedric Gibbons had been consumed, so I reported it. Then, its owner called me — and it is fine. Please don't be afraid to be skeptical. And for sure don't believe Whitney Fucking Cummings.

WASHINGTON BLADE: Arlington, Virginia, gay bar purposefully set on fire .

BLOOMBERG: Meta's Mark Zuckerberg wants to be a man so badly. Now, he's running to Joe Rogan to say business needs a more masculine energy. It's always been a serious problem that an innovation as widespread and powerful as Facebook is privately held, and therefore functions at the whims of one rich guy with a LOT of issues.

JOE.MY.GOD.: Um, Jack Smith resigned. 

HUFF POST: The DOJ has argued that Trump's biased Judge Cannon was flatly wrong and didn't have the authority to order that Jack Smith's report on Trump not be released.

INSTAGRAM: The great Dave Kopay recalls his newspaper debate over gay visibility vs. Anita Bryant.

EXTRATV: Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sam Moore — of Sam & Dave — has died at 89.

SKY: If you're able to see it in the U.K., the new doc Becoming Madonna is a stylish look at her early rise, through the Sex book. It tells her story with her own words (cleverly polished from interviews, the audio of which is sometimes being heard for the first time) and via new audio interviews with producers, directors, past collaborators and more. It's not exhaustive, but the research on the images and video they do use certainly is. Are there unseen items? Yes. I just wish there were new insights. But as a solid, archival-level take on what made her great, Becoming Madonna hits the spot.

AUTOSTRADDLE: The Traitors Season 3 is Bob the Drag Queen-fueled drahhhhmmmaaaahhh.
