Boy Culture Links: Scott Adams of 'Dilbert' Dies, the Very Naked 'Laid Bare' Debuts, 'Dogging' Hudson Williams
JANUARY 13, 2026
PEOPLE: Scott Adams, the truly awful human being who created the lovable Dilbert strip, has died at 68. And I think we need to look at People Magazine the way we looked at Teen Vogue — it’s a mainstream, potentially fluffy outlet that has been really pointed in its Trump coverage, and it bravely reports on Adams’s death as:
“Scott Adams, Disgraced Dilbert Creator, Dies at 68”
Which is totally deserved and fair, but most outlets will just fawn over his creation, not the discord he sought to create.
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: The style of Heated Rivalry, deconstructed.
YOUTUBE: Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams once starred in a short film as a guy who engages in dog roleplay, including clambering around on all fours, greedily eating food from the floor and reluctantly getting a bath.
It’s something else! But not as lasciviously framed as one might like. And I would say it’s stolen by the actress who plays Piper:
INSTAGRAM: Seth Meyers and Connor Storrie did a pretty genius promo for Connor’s debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers last night. Heated Rivalry is a cottage industry.
NEW YORK TIMES: Trump openly regrets not having had voting machines seized after the 2020 election, which does not bode well for the smoothness of the rapidly approaching midterms. Less than 10 months, baby!
NBC WASHINGTON: In Maryland, a woman is accused of assaulting a stranger, allegedly targeting him because he is gay.
MALE MODEL RETRO: One of my fave Facebook groups, Male Model Retro is aptly named.
QUEERTY: Don’t miss this fond reminiscence — by Queerty! — of some of the Queerties’ most memorable red-carpet lewks.
FACEBOOK: Hillary Clinton popped in for the final performance of Messy White Gays! I’m old enough to remember how exciting it was when she became the first First Lady to march in a Pride parade in 2000.
JOE.MY.GOD.: What would any good GOP Senate candidate be without his “harem of twink concubines”? That’s what Preston Parra, a typical MAGA gaypublican who worked for Trump. He interned for Georgia’s Rep. Mike Collins (a Republican, natch), and Collins is now running for Senate, only to find his old intern’s sordid — and, of course, racist — messages blowing up into a scandal.
The kid is pure evil.
OUTtv: “Who douches when there’s a murderer around?” That question sums up the tone for Laid Bare, a very gay mystery series (eight 10-minuteish episodes) from creator Tim O’Leary.
Laid Bare, a sort of Dicks Out, follows a group of slutty gay men who are lured to a remote nude resort to view the contents of a mysterious encrypted video left by its wealthy, recently departed owner. In a Murder by Death twist, it turns out they’re all accused blackmailers, but will each inherit $1M of his estate … which increases by $1M each time any one of them dies.
Present are the rich guy’s at-odds sons (Robert Rice and Ethan Daniel Corbett), a French houseboy (Alex Ringler), an Olympian (Jason Caceres), a feckless socialite (Zack Rocklin-Waltch), a porn star (Jesse Steele) and his teacher hubby (Ephraim López), an OnlyFans content creator (Michael Deni), a male model (Marval Rex) and a publicist (James Hayden Rodriguez).
Ten men, which is why this was originally called Ten Little Faggots, and why I feel justified in offering all my title play.
This winky twink slaughter is a regular Murder on the Whoreient Express. It may not leave you feeling flames … on the side of your face, but you might feel them up your thighs, as most of the men are frequently full-frontal nude. And nobody is relying on prosthetics here, making it hard softcore or soft hardcore.
It’s interesting to watch a mystery that leaves nothing to the imagination — except for the whodunit part.
Laid Bare is on OutTvGo.com, or with Apple+ and an OUTtv add-on.
I have one more episode to go on Heated Rivalry so I've book-marked all the stories around it for reading after I finish the series. But I have one important question:
Why do so many straight women totally stan on this series? Do they like gay porn (which is kinder what Heated Rivalry is)?
