It kills me how much of these recaps are (reboot) (reboot) (prequel) (continuation of series after 10 years) (reboot)

Kim Kardashian said she wouldn’t use privilege to get her kids into college. Yet she’ll do it to get her daughter a spot in musical theatre, which was essentially taken from kids who worked years just to get such an huge audition.

charles leclerc being in a modern gurls video is so funny to me

[Lianzluna]

It’s crazy how Ice T calls Lenny weird when he’s quite literally been apart of a show that can show us the dangers of lustful and sick people

[trinaq]

Forget watching the actual news, I get my monthly happenings from Tessa and Modern Gurlz.

I need you to know you’re a pop culture historian the internet moves so fast so when ever i get recommended older videos I’m so shocked and what I’ve forgotten and how honestly non-consequential it was the internet is wild

[justagiraffe]

i'm pretty sure there was a brief mention of the kendrick drake beef in last months pop culture video, but i'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in this month at all bc that's when it blew up.

[belleq]

although eurovision was mentioned im surprised no mention about joost klein's disqualification and the general protest of multiple artists of israel's participation that lead to joost getting a huge popularity boost

[trinaq]

Poor Taylor Momsen, I hope that she'll make a speedy recovery. If I had a nickel for every time a famous musician got bitten by a bat while performing, then I'd have two nickeks. Which isn't a lot, but it's odd that it's happened twice.

How did i miss the return of totally spies?!?

Endless shrimp is not the reason, it’s because the private equity firm that bought RL sold off all the land at the restaurants locations and required them to rent the land back to continue running the restaurants … which was too expensive and sent them to bankruptcy.

Who needs the news, when I can just watch ModernGurlz?

[kamsismith]

Things that happened in May I remember: Back to Black came out in the US and bombed at the box office, the Michael Jackson movie finished filming, Paul Mescal is being considered to play a Beatles member in the Beatles movie, Apple Music’s 100 Greatest Albums of All Time, Diddy beating up Cassie, Justin Bieber being a first time dad, and Baby Reindeer premieres on Netflix and creates a social media phenomenon.

i do think that the try guys did a much better job at releasing their streamer - they are still on youtube and will be putting out the same content that they always have. the streamer is only for additional content i.e. new shows. i will definitely miss eugene, even though he has been uninvolved for a long time. he felt like the most compelling member and I loved watching his journey.

What kind of deranged psycho would punch Steve Buscemi??? The man is a sweetheart! So messed up.

[YonekuniKyuhyun]

but the engagment news I was tearing up reading about it!! Supernatural has been its own universe of fires and trainwrecks, bUT TO KNOW THAT OUR BOYS FOUND LOVE !!!! MY GOOODDDD!!! My Tumblr shaped heart just burst!!!

[XxdextriousxX]

Just the term “Fully conscious baby” always makes me laugh

[veronicasmemories]

What did I miss? I only knew like three things that happened in the world of pop culture. The rest was news to me. Thanks for keeping me in the loop (:

There are so many ways that the genocide in Gaza has impacted pop culture in the past month. The met gala, digital guillotine, Hinds Hall by Macklemore, Bella Hadids dress, etc. I’ve been an MG fan for years and it’s my go-to source for pop culture news, but at this point I might need to reconsider. The silence is speaking volumes 😢

Nothing is funnier than Charles being amongst all the music people and actors, like that's my little pop girlie fr.
