A DUDE IN FLUX

* I need to watch more reality/variety content to see what Ruka, Asa, and Pharita (and Rami!) are like.

(I didn't watch a ton of Alexis G. Zall back when I was getting interested in YouTube, but she was still a foundational piece of my "What's there to do here?" journey. Seeing her turn 28 is ... 🤯.)

Trump's running around these days acting like no one knows that "dumb" is spelled with a B, but I'm still wondering why his first instinct was to turn Dem-O-crats into Dum-A-crats.

The reason YouTube exists.

Most of the comments on this video are very cool about acknowledging the effort that went into this near-catch. The rest of the comments were posted by sexist pieces of shit.

Awesome! But the RUN? reunion we really want to see is Jihyun with Iroha, not Minju.

Not really "a summer song," but OMG THAT PRECHORUS!!! And the title hook is fun AF! MEOVV wins the night, not that I'm surprised.

Since THEBLACKLABEL dropped the ball and MEOVV's new MV is nowhere to be seen, this is my consolation prize.

I love that this exists and that the algorithm thought I needed to see it!

*Chaewon, Moka, and now Hana. It's a bad time to be on my bias list.

Welcome to Summer 2026!
