TWITTER: Jake Andrich, a top OnlyFans model with a huge gay following, was asked if he supported the LGBTQ+ community and said, “Not particularly.” Once he was criticized, he came out with a defensive explanation that doesn’t help much.

RAW STORY: Sen. John Fetterman (Fake D-Pennsylvania) has been a thorn in the side of the Democratic Party as he has slid to the right and cozied up to Trump. Now come stories of him whining about having to do his job at all, including meeting with children’s healthcare workers (“I’m convinced they just want free trips to DC”) and skipping a long-on-the-books meeting with three paralyzed veterans because he was under the weather … before showing up live on Fox News an hour later.

TOSOS: Tom Rowan’s play Burning Leaves, about a young teacher and his closeted student, runs September 26-October 17 at the historic TOSOS Theatre Company (502 W. 53rd St., NYC).
The pitch:
“In need of a fresh start, Matt Leland, a young actor on the run from New York, takes a job teaching at a small high school in the Midwest – where he finds himself feeling unprepared for the unexpected challenges that await. His most talented student is Jesse Wade, a troubled sixteen-year-old on the verge of coming out. Isolated in the small conservative town, Jesse desperately needs a gay role model—and other things Matt may or may not be able to provide. Burning Leaves is a humorous, compassionate play that asks serious questions about education, friendship, and love.”
