Nickelodeon Might Bring Back "Rugrats," Hugh Jackman Considering James Bond, Puppies Meet BB-8: MEME

Enver Gjokaj gets "Agent Carter" promotion, Donald Trump promises not to run third party, Colin Farrell is "The Lobster"

Reports are that Nickledeon may try and tap into some nostalgia and bring back some hits from our childhood, including Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, and Victorious. Throw in some Catdog, and you've got me.


The Department of Health and Human Services is proposing a rule that would ban gender bias in healthcare. The 198 page rule seeks to close bias in healthcare and insurance that currently exists based on gender and gender identity.


As it stands now, Kim Davis is in jail, and after another hearing, five out of the six deputy clerks in her office have agreed to process marriage licenses for same sex couples. The holdout is her son, but the judge didn't throw him in jail because his fellow deputies can cover the duties. I'm not even sure how her son works in the office, since most employers won't allow you to have a subordinate who is related to you. The gay plaintiffs proposed a deal that would release Davis from prison if she agreed to not interfere in her deputies issuing licenses, but Davis refused the compromise, happy to be a martyr.

The final GLAAD TV report gave stunning marks to Fox and ABC Family, but once again, their methodology leaves me baffled. I suppose you have to count Nyssa on Arrow as a queer character, and her queerness informed the story, but there was nothing particularly gay about her last season. I think that queer characters need to have lives onscreen that make gay being a part of their lives, not just a stated identity, and that can't be said about most of the impressions that GLAAD counted.


Donald Trump has signed the loyalty pledge with the Republican Party that he won't run as a third party candidate if he doesn't secure the party nomination. The GOP created this monster, and I hope they understand that they're now tied permanently to him.


A Tennessee judge has refused to grant a straight couple a divorce because he says that marriage is undefined since the Supreme Court ruling legalizing marriage equality. “The conclusion reached by this Court is that Tennesseans have been deemed by the U.S. Supreme Court to be incompetent to define and address such keystone/central institutions such as marriage, and, thereby, at minimum, contested divorces." I've deemed this judge incompetent to practice law.


While we debate idiots that don't want Idris Elba to play James Bond, Hugh Jackman says that if he was asked to do it, he'd seriously consider it. “I sort of was already asked just before Daniel Craig took over. At the time, I was just about to do X-Men 2, and I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t think it’s the right time.’" But if it came his way again, “I’d seriously consider it.” He's definitely suave enough for the role, if the Brits could allow an Aussie to play their role. I don't see why not. Hollywood has been happy to give every role imaginable to Australian actors.


If you need a new way to waste time, there's a Tumblr dedicated to a very funny lesbian who likes to steal her gay friend's phone and have very strange Grindr conversations with people. As you can imagine, I would not be amused by this. Grindr isn't a place for comedy, it's a place for hooking up, but as a cultural phenomenon, it's becoming less useful for it's stated purpose of dick hunting and more a space for performance art.


Enver Gjokaj, who I fell in love with on Dollhouse , has been promoted on the new season of Agent Carter, and he's the chief in Peggy's new Los Angeles office. Gjokaj needs to be a bigger star. His turn on Dollhouse was a marvel, and I've never laughed so hard as the one scene when he gets a remote imprint that turns him into a drunken slutty college student.


Australian MP Penny Wong pretty much sums up the entire debate about respect on both sides of the debate for marriage equality. “Let’s be really honest about who has been respectful and who hasn’t in this debate. Do the people arguing for equality ever diminish the relationships of heterosexuals? Do the people arguing for equality ever say that children of heterosexual couples are compromised? Do you ever get the sorts of emails and letters and tweets that have come out of this debate? Do people on the side of equality ever suggest that the other side is going to be advocating polyamory or bestiality? If there’s respect, I wouldn’t mind a bit of respect coming our way.”


During Campus Pride, a diverse group of college students from universities large and small filmed Ask Me, which tells the story of what they want their professors and advisers to know about them, from preferred names to pronouns. It can be tough being a college student who is trans, genderqueer or gay, especially if the professor is working from a roster with your legal name and outs you by taking roll.


BB-8 is set to be the break out star of The Force Awakens this winter, and media outlets got an early edition (why don't I get these toys?) of the Sphero toy designed like our little ball droid that stole the show. Most took it for a test spin and talked about how well made it is, or how the smartphone app worked. But Vanity Fair went a different way and introduced it to puppies. It's just as adorable as you'd imagine.


The Lobster stars Colin Farrell in a strange dystopia where single people aren't allowed. You get 45 days to pair up with your true love, or you get turned into an animal. Farrell arrives at the facility with his dog, who happens to also have been his brother, who couldn't make a match. Farrell tries desperately to connect, but when he's asked what animal he wants to be if he's still single, he chooses a lobster, because they mate for life. Basically, to a happily single guy like me, this is the ultimate horror film
