Editor’s note: Jesse Andrews is author of the novel Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, which is one of five books pulled from the library shelves of high schools within the purview of Tallahassee, Florida-based Leon County Schools superintendent Rock Hanna, after the Leon County chapter of the conservative group Moms for Liberty petitioned the schools to remove the book because of the frank depiction of sex and gender identity issues. The others include Push, the Sapphire-penned book that inspired the film Precious;Doomed by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk; Lucky by Alice Sebold; and Dead End by Jason Meyer. Still being scrutinized is an autobiography of tennis great Billie Jean King, because it discusses her sexuality. This has been an ongoing theme precipitated by policies passed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and legislative Republicans. DeSantis is running for president and probably figured to ride his brawl with Disney into the White House, until Bob Iger began pushing back in ways that have cost revenue and investments it planned for the state of Florida, where Disney is its largest taxpayer and employer. What’s it like to see your book banished for, as Moms for Liberty argued in its email to the school board, violate state law and subject school district personnel to potential felony prosecution and litigation? Here, Andrews — also a screenwriter whose credits include co-writing with Mike Jones Pixar’s Luca — explains it all.

Ron Perlman: “The motherfucker who said we’re gonna keep this thing going until people start losing their houses and their apartments. Listen me to me motherfucker…we know who said that and where he fucking lives…be careful motherfucker.

Striking writers now have a new punching bag: Bob Iger.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said Marvel Entertainment, whose acquisition in 2009 was a signature deal of Iger’s first stint atop the company, was unfairly “taxed” during the company’s frenzy to supply Disney+ with fresh content.

labeled a “homophobic” campaign ad using footage from the Netflix series. Their tweet admonishing the 44-year-old Florida governor is currently going viral as fellow candidates accuse him of resorting to “desperate” tactics to get ahead in the Republican primaries.The ad, posted to the pro-DeSantis Twitter account “DeSantis War Room,” depicted rival Donald Trump, 77, making statements in support of the LGBTQ community, including saying that Caitlyn Jenner could use the bathroom of her choice when visiting the White house, and celebrating the inclusion of transgender contestants in beauty pageants.

Peaky Blinders cast and crew have condemned a campaign video promoting Ron DeSantis and his US presidential bid.The video, which uses clips of attractive straight men to illustrate a homophobic narrative, and pokes fun at the moral panic stemming from the Florida governor’s policies, appears to have been made by the right wing media brand Proud Elephant. The @DeSantisWarRoom “rapid response” campaign account on Twitter then retweeted the video.In the video are clips of Cillian Murphy’s character Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders as well as other fictional alpha male types such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort from The Wolf Of Wall Street.

Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis stirred up a hornet’s nest of controversy when he unveiled a campaign ad that’s been criticized as an outright attack on the LGBTQ+ community.

Ethan Shanfeld After Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign shared a bizarre and wildly homophobic video that includes footage of Cillian Murphy’s character in “Peaky Blinders,” the team behind the British crime drama has denounced the video, adding that the footage of the show was “obtained without permission or official license.”pic.twitter.com/o33HL2zMes The video, shared by DeSantis’ campaign on Twitter, slams Donald Trump, a rival Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, and his efforts to support the LGBTQ community during his presidency. The DeSantis video uses clips of Trump vowing to “protect our LGBTQ citizens,” standing up for Caitlyn Jenner’s right to choose her own bathroom and allowing transgender women to compete in his Miss Universe pageants. The edit, which was first shared by @ProudElephantUS and then reposted to DeSantis’ “Rapid Response” campaign account @DeSantisWarRoom, then pivots to a clip of outwardly queer rapper Tyler, the Creator yelling “Psych!” before boasting DeSantis’ various legislative attacks against the LGBTQ community.

The cast and crew behind Peaky Blinders is none too happy about their beloved Tommy Shelby showing up in a Ron DeSantis campaign video.

After a 21-month run that saw him perform for more than 700,000 fans, the promise of Tom Segura’s “I’m Coming Everywhere” world tour has finally been fulfilled.

A judge in Delaware Chancery Court has ruled against a shareholder who sued Disney for documents regarding its opposition to Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay law.
