@Se0kedInLuv I know it sounds horrible cause 100 IS hot- but Vegas is 93-100 for the weekend. So mild for here. We are going to have a good 4th here weather wise. Stay hydrated love!

@The_Acumen It is women who are cared for by ohana and friends in retirement, assisted living, and hospice. I am a daughter of my ohana. I WILL help if I am physically, financially, and emotionally able to. Sounds very lonely for his keiki to have learned transactional love so early on.

And this is further proof of why that new category was created…

@Se0kedInLuv Erling is a meme king like JK. I like his way of play - like Zlatan, tall, strong, and athletic. Makes for fun watching. Him bringing out a chair for his partner while everyone else was on the floor was so cute.

@GregOwen70 @TemiXo_1 Chemo is designed to KILL every bottle/bag of chemo has stickers of death, C-Sections absolutely kill mothers, pacemakers also kill people, abortion is healthcare. Viagra I do not know I am not a man (see how easy to stay out of healthcare that does not concern you?).

@PugSmore @Livheartt They should play this at the airport right next to the media the next time they fly home.

@merclandoscr I thought he was local (A Hawaiian Local) or at least Hapa (mixed) or PolyAsian. He looks like all my cousins that surf and hunt on the Big Island.

@PugSmore I will never look at the banchan vest the same again (elders use it outside in our ohana when it was chilly) - always with ginseng candy in the pockets..

[LoLoLehua⁷ ⟭⟬ ⊙⊝⊜ ⟬⟭ @LucillesMoopuna]

@PugSmore I made baby looney toons candy holders for my sons pre 1st baby luau dinner with this craft - some of my ohana still has them to this day. I cannot wait to see the final..I love your sister assembly line!

There’s a lot to unpack here, and I’m going to say it directly. I dont care if I get cancelled but this needs to be said.

For years, BTS were told they weren’t big enough, mainstream enough, or "Grammy material." Then they became one of the biggest acts in the world. They broke records, sold out stadiums across continents, topped charts repeatedly, and built a global cultural impact that few artists in history can match.

And when they became too successful to ignore?

The Grammys nominated "Dynamite" and "Butter"—both English-language songs.

Let that sink in.

The songs that got BTS into the major Grammy conversation were the songs that fit most comfortably into the Western industry framework. Yet BTS's discography is filled with critically acclaimed Korean-language music that has had enormous cultural and artistic impact.

Now we have a "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" category.

And before anyone calls that progress, let's ask the obvious question: why does there need to be a separate category at all?

If Asian artists are good enough to dominate global charts, sell millions of records, headline festivals, influence culture worldwide, and compete with every major artist in the industry, then they are good enough for the same categories as everyone else.

Inclusion isn't creating a separate lane after Asian artists prove they can win in the existing ones.

Inclusion is treating them as equals.

That's why BTS's lyrics in "Aliens" hit so hard:

"어쩜 그래 shameless
예의를 차려 we aliens
해는 동쪽에서 risin'
Aliens, aliens"

No matter how successful some artists become, there are still systems and institutions that treat them as perpetual outsiders.
And that's exactly why this conversation matters.
Because when BTS were impossible to ignore, the response shouldn't have been to create another box and place Asian artists inside it. The response should have been to judge them by the same standards as every other artist competing for the biggest awards in music.

ARMYs, we have a mission.

Talk about Arirang everywhere. Put it in AOTY conversations. Put it in ROTY conversations. Write threads. Make edits. Share analyses. Start discussions.

If we believe it deserves those nominations, then let's make enough noise that nobody can pretend it doesn't belong in the room.

They ignored BTS until they couldn't.

Let's make sure they can't ignore Arirang either.

@_carlovino Checo getting P2 in the yapper GP is so funny.

Daniel Ricciardo says he was grateful Red Bull made the call to end his F1 career because he knew he had lost something

"I broke my hand and it was such a nothing accident. I’d never really hurt myself racing all these years... I was like, okay, is this now a bit of a sign?"

"I was like, NO, there’s still unfinished business... I pushed through it and lasted another year in F1, ultimately got let go... I’d been let go twice in the last two years"

"In reflection, I was grateful that they made the decision for me"

"I knew I was probably done... Alonso, these guys are still in their 40s in F1 competing very highly, for whatever reason I lost a little bit of something, and it’s okay to admit it"
