America’s Next Top Model may be on its 22nd cycle — no, really — but there’s one excellent reason to tune into Tyra and the gang this season: total hunk Nyle DiMarco.

At 6’2″, with a muscular torso and beautiful blue eyes, it’s easy to see why DiMarco might be stealing headlines — and hearts. But he’s also breaking new ground for the show, competing as ANTM‘s first deaf contestant. When he spoke to Entertainment Tonight, DiMarco pointed out that not being able to hear can sometimes have its advantages:
“Fortunately, I’m deaf, so I don’t have to hear all of their drama,” he said. In a clip from the show, DiMarco uses an app to tell the other contestants: “I just want to say that you all are complaining about hair, hair, hair. Am I complaining about my deafness? No, I am not.”
“My sexiest feature is my body…I work out a lot,” DiMarco acknowledges, but his best feature? “My eyes.” We’re inclined to agree.
ET were kind (read: thirsty) enough to ask DiMarco to sign a few Top Model phrases for them, but we’re pretty sure they could be useful in other situations, too…
Useful for: “Nyle DiMarco is gorgeous from…”

Useful for: “That blue eyes/hairy torso combo is…”

Useful for: “Hey Nyle, do you…”

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, has reportedly paid at least 29 accounts with histories of promoting anti-LGBTQ rhetoric for posts ahead of this year's midterm elections.
According to reporting from Uncloseted Media and The 19th, Meta pays these creators through Facebook Content Monetization, a program launched in 2024 that allows eligible creators to earn money based on the performance of their public Facebook posts, including text, Stories, Reels, longer videos, and photos.
Many creators celebrated the program's launch, with some reporting a major increase in their earnings. But critics say the program encourages inflammatory posts and so-called "rage bait" to increase engagement.

Younger teenagers -- primarily girls -- are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual than they were a few years ago, according to an analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
The data, drawn from the CDC's biennial Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, show that the biggest decline in LGB identification among high school students is among ninth-grade girls, according to Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University.
Writing in her Substack Generation Tech, Twenge noted that the 2025 survey data show a decline in LGB identification across all high school grades, with the starkest decline among ninth graders -- from nearly 17% in 2021 and 2023 before cratering to 11% in 2025.
