!! OMG, a premiere: ‘Little Time’ by Chris Cool !!
We are excited to premiere the music video for the wistful pop ballad “Little Time,” by multi-hyphenate artist Chris Cool (fka Antoine93).
The song might be moody, but the music video, co-directed by Nick Bostick, is a fast-paced, saturated summer adventure. Chris takes us into a hyper-real realm, where summer’s vibrancy collides with a distorted, delirious queer daydream.
Splashes of blue begin to take over everywhere. And if a sensory visual experience isn’t what you’re looking for, maybe the dripping wet hunks and twinks in this video are! Take it all in after the jump.

!! OMG, WATCH: Queer dark comedy series ‘I Hate People, People Hate Me’ releases Episodes 1 & 2 FREE online !!
An exploration of queer identity as queerness has become more mainstream and commodified, offbeat comedy I Hate People, People Hate Me, written/created by and starring comedian newcomer Bobbi Summers, is inspired tonally, in part, by films like Ghost World, Good Burger and Welcome to the Dollhouse alongside Summers’ diaries, written while in their 20s:
The show follows Jovi (Summers) and Tabitha (played by fellow writer/comedian Lily Kazimiera), two people perpetually disturbed by the world around them that have bonded over a mutual hatred of their peers and society at large, alongside suicidal feelings and drug abuse. The series was directed by Blake Mawson and co-stars Alden McWayne (AKA everybody’s favourite TikTok mullet-ed sweetheart, Gucci Pineapple).
They’ve just released the first TWO episodes for free. Find them both after the jump!
