Y'all What The Fu*k?

The Weirdest Fourth of July, Stunts & Stunt Weddings, and The Brackets Merge on Drag Race

This week, we're asking a simple question: what exactly were we celebrating this Fourth of July? We reflect on why the holiday felt different this year, discuss Zohran Mamdani's speech on what America could be, and unpack everything from the Empire State Building climbers to why grassroots organizing may matter more than performative politics. We also get into the growing conversation around celebrity responsibility, including Taylor Swift's silence, the idea of complicity, and why the "I'm just an innocent bystander" narrative becomes harder to believe the bigger your platform gets. Then we shift into pop culture, where we're breaking down another standout week of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. From Joey J's return and the emotional Story Hour challenge to alliance drama, lip syncs, and our ongoing frustration that Joey keeps getting overlooked, there's a lot to unpack. We also correct ourselves on last week's Ladies of London rumors (because accountability matters!), talk Bravo, and share why this season of Drag Race might be one of the strongest we've seen in a long time.

Texas Continues to Suck, NYC's Living the Dream, and Drag Race Bracket 3 Ends

This week, we unpack the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela before diving into the shocking prison sentences handed down to anti-ICE protesters in Texas and what they could mean for the future of free speech, protest, and civil liberties in America. We also discuss Zohran Mamdani's latest political victories, New York City's new two-year rent freeze, and why grassroots candidates continue to outperform the Democratic establishment. Then we shift into pop culture, breaking down the internet's reaction to Alex Reads Tarot leaving the tarot community to pursue Christianity and the larger conversations around religion, online influence, and the return of moral panic. Plus, we recap another great week of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, debate the double advancement, speculate on the Wild Card queen, and share our thoughts on the Ladies of London reboot being put on pause.

The Obama Presidential Center Opens, Billionaires Plot the Future, and Drag Race Brings Back the Rappin Roast!

This week, we celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago and unpack why the moment felt so different from today's political climate. From celebrity-filled optimism and presidential nostalgia to the strange rehabilitation of George W. Bush's image, we explore how public memory, media narratives, and social media shape the stories we tell ourselves about politics, power, and history. Then things get considerably darker. We dive into leaked details from Peter Thiel's secretive invite-only network of politicians, billionaires, media executives, and tech leaders, discuss Jeff Bezos' latest comments about AI and resource consumption, and ask why so many of the world's most powerful people seem convinced they're building humanity's future while making life worse for everyone else. Plus: reality TV kids speaking out about childhood exploitation, the growing fallout from influencer and celebrity culture, and a full breakdown of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars—including Hershii's breakout performance, Joey Jay's surprising rise, and why this may be the strongest bracket of the season.

The Rich Attend The NBA Finals, America Fumbles the World Cup, and Drag Race Starts a New Bracket

This week, we accidentally become sports commentators. We react to Trump getting booed at the NBA Finals, Taylor Swift’s courtside appearance, and the reality that championship tickets now cost more than many people make in months. Then we dig into the growing controversy surrounding the World Cup, including reports of athletes, referees, and fans facing visa delays, extra screening, and travel restrictions. What’s supposed to be a global celebration starts looking a lot more like a reflection of America’s anxieties, class divisions, and declining reputation on the world stage. We also revisit last week’s AI controversy after producers behind RuPaul’s Drag Race’s latest film reverse course and admit AI was used after all. Then we jump into Drag Race All Stars Bracket 3, breaking down the queens, the sports-themed design challenge, Joey J’s surprise breakout episode, and whether Sam Starr deserved the win. Plus, Southern Charm continues to consume Bobbi’s life, we discuss Disney’s quiet Pride displays, and why sometimes the biggest cultural stories are hiding in plain sight.

The Suspicious Lack of Rainbow-Washing, Protect Dylan Mulvaney, and Rupaul: STOP THAT AI!

This week's episode is arriving a little later than planned thanks to a neighborhood-wide internet outage that reminded us just how dependent we are on the digital gods. But we're back online and ready to complain about the internet, corporations, AI, and reality television—as nature intended. This week, we're talking about Pride Month, corporate allyship, and the suspicious lack of rainbow-washing in 2026. What happens when brands spend years selling Pride merchandise and rainbow logos, only to quietly disappear the moment support becomes politically inconvenient? We unpack the backlash surrounding Pattie Gonia and Patagonia, the rise of what we're calling "rainbow siphoning," and whether corporations ever cared about LGBTQ+ communities beyond their purchasing power. We also discuss the role bots, algorithms, and online narratives may be playing in shaping public opinion—and why the sudden silence from major brands feels impossible to ignore. Then we dive into the darker side of AI, starting with a disturbing AI-generated video targeting Dylan Mulvaney and the broader questions it raises about transphobia, accountability, and who gets protected online. From there, we tackle the growing use of AI in entertainment, including the controversy surrounding RuPaul's new film Stop That Train, whether studios are being honest about their use of AI-generated content, and why "employ artists" remains our official stance. Finally, we lighten things up with RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, breaking down alliances, makeover challenge drama, star strategy, and the queens making a serious run for the crown.
