FEBRUARY 28, 2026
DIGITAL SPY: An unexpected coming-out scene on Bridgerton.
POLITICO: Trump and Israel launched a full-scale war on Iran, with world leaders fearing a wider conflict — and Trump admitting it “could” last for weeks. He’s also already saying he accepts we will lose U.S. citizens over this (doesn’t care), and even floated the idea that Iran interfered with the U.S. presidential elections in 2020 and 2024 … another reason to believe Trump is going to try to suspend the election to avoid a bloodbath. (Democrats are aware — can they stop him?)
JOE.MY.GOD.: With the DOJ blatantly ignoring court orders, what’s the stop Trump from destroying any norm anyway?

YOUTUBE: I think “The Corpse Can’t Play” is the only available episodes of the British series Late Night Horror, a ‘60s show that also had gory, full-color episodes. I believe this is the only of the six episodes in existence?
OUT: Queer raper Heartthrob Robb is releasing his album To Know Me More. He tells Out there is still a problem with gay men supporting gay men, often over stereotypes:
“In some cases, gay men won't champion other gay men who embody archetypes … Instead, you're reduced to ornamentation: meant to be seen, but not heard.”
