“When I was writing ‘Ricochet,’ I couldn’t shake this... image: people dancing while bombs and bullets careened overhead. That contrast — the obliviousness of joy against the backdrop of destruction — felt like the world we’re living in. The video brings that to life. It’s about more than action and reaction. It’s about how even our silence, even our detachment, carries weight. Every choice, every shrug, every shot fired — they all ricochet." -Tim McIlrath Watch the "Ricochet" music video: New album, RICOCHET, out this Friday, August 15th.show more

I’m still here because this was the hardest fan... project we’ve faced in these six months. My patience and leadership were tested like never before to the point that I almost gave up in the middle of the preparation. There were nights I whispered to myself, “This will be my last.” I felt so pressured that sometimes I just wanted to hide and run away. On top of it all, I was carrying my own personal struggles, which made every step heavier. We took risks in almost every decision we made during this project. There were times when all we could say was, “Naniniwala kami sa Cheffies.” From tickets and props to the fan project and the fanzone everything was about risk and trust. Trusting the Cheffies that they would show up. Trusting the sponsors that they were only waiting for us to open our plan. Trusting Dustin and Bianca that they would see and hear our efforts. And above all, trusting each other as admins that no matter what happens, we would not give up on this. But it wasn’t just about risks. It was about sacrifices the sleepless nights, the drained wallets, the heavy emotions, and the constant balancing act between work life and fandom life. It was about choosing to fight even when we were tired, choosing to stay even when walking away seemed easier. Every small victory mattered, and every breakdown taught us something new. Looking back at these six months, I realized it’s not only about the events, the projects, or the milestones. It’s about the people who stood by me when I thought I couldn’t go on. The people I met along the way who turned into a second family. The laughter in between the stress, the comfort in the middle of the tears, and the bonds that were built in both the best and worst days. This is why, even when I wanted to let go so many times, I stayed. Because every hardship was matched with a reminder that I was not alone. Because this fandom has become more than just support for Dustin and Bianca it has become a home where friendships are nurtured, where trust is strengthened, and where love is felt. So this 6th monthsary is not just a celebration of Dustin and Bianca, though they remain the heart and reason for all of this. It is also a celebration of the Cheffies who never stopped believing, of the sponsors who trusted us, of the admins who fought side by side, and of the family we’ve built within Casa Dustbia. To Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera, thank you for being the inspiration that started all of this. You may never fully know the weight of what we’ve gone through, but because of you, we learned to be braver, stronger, and more united. And to my Casa Dustbia family, thank you for reminding me that even in the hardest of our story, there is always something worth holding on to. Six months have passed, but this is just the beginning. More pages are waiting to be written with laughter, tears, risks, and victories. And as long as we continue to believe, to fight, and to love, we will keep turning those pahina together. Happy 6th monthsary, Dustin, Cheffies, Sponsors and Bianca. Mahal na mahal namin kayo today, tomorrow, and in every chapter that’s yet to come. 🫂💛show more

Wrapped still surprises me every year…not because it exists... (I obviously knew it was coming 😅) but because of how huge it’s become. What started as a small idea over a decade ago has grown to more than 11 trillion minutes of global listening this year alone, and a moment hundreds of millions of people screenshot, joke about (yes, even at our expense), and share every year. And this year’s experience is our biggest yet. I’m especially excited that for the first time, you’ll see your top album of the year. Fun fact: album listening on Spotify has increased nearly 35% on Spotify in 2025, compared to 2024 - very cool to see that growth. Huge thanks to the teams who bring this to life.show more

I’d like to go on record and say: if... that Australia trip blows up bigger than a head of state visit, it’s because of Derangers, the Daily Mail, and Australian Murdoch media. They won’t shut up about it! Every day it’s something new. Now even drone shots of the Retreat Hotel!? 😳show more

This is what childhood looks like in Gaza… Rafif... and all the children of Gaza have lost every right — care, education, and even their simple right to play in a safe and clean environment. Now, they have no choice but to play in the sand, surrounded by destruction and loss. Please, keep talking about the children of Gaza… Save what’s left of their childhood before it’s gone forever. 💔show more

I hope that every night for the rest of... his life, right when Yuriy Bukhenik is about to fall asleep, he remembers that there was a day that Karen Read’s entire legal team replayed the video of him dancing over and over laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes and were unable to catch their breath.show more

There is no royal family in Europe more down-to-earth... than Norway's. I feel it in my bones every time I think of them. I was ten years old when our beloved King Olav V passed away. Like every other child in Oslo, I was allowed to stand before his casket and whisper a final goodbye. I still remember the hush, the candles, the sense that we had all lost someone who truly belonged to us. Because that's what he was - not a distant monarch, but our king. I don't know of another country in Europe where the royal family is so loved, so close to the hearts of ordinary people, as in Norway. And tonight, that closeness shines again. King Harald - together with Crown Prince Haakon, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, and Prince Sverre Magnus - is welcoming Team Norge to the Royal Palace. Our athletes, our pride, our flag-bearers, celebrated by the very family that has stood beside this nation through every joy and every sorrow. This is Norway. This is who we are. 🇳🇴show more

We recorded the outro to Trust Ceremony in 𝖈𝖆𝖈𝖔... (𝓵𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓮𝓹 𝓮𝓻𝓪) 🌸 ‘s bedroom near the end of this last tour. It was one of the last things that was recorded for the album. After YEARS of working on this album mostly alone, and spending the entire tour kinda isolating myself to get it done in time, it was really cathartic getting to finish it off with my friends. Now everytime I listen to it, I’ll remember this little moment of celebrating all our hard work on that tour. It’s a reminder that even in the things that I must do alone, I’m blessed to be surrounded by people who are rooting for me at every step :’) Anyways, all that is to say that we all sobbed when we finally listened to the album and reached the endshow more

I wasn’t planning to step into another world that... day. But that’s exactly what happened when I stumbled upon Steampunk Transylvania, and let me tell you, it’s not just a museum, it’s a living, breathing art experience. From the very first step inside, everything changes. The air itself seems different, filled with the hum of creativity and the echoes of another era. This isn’t just a collection of artifacts: it’s a space where history meets imagination, where old objects tell new stories, and where young artists bring mechanical dreams to life. And the people? Oh, they don’t just work there, they pour their souls into every detail. The creators, the guides, the artists behind every piece, they make you feel like you’re stepping into their personal world of wonder. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why art is meant to be felt, not just seen. Every little mechanism, every sculpture, every carefully crafted contraption has a story, and I could’ve spent hours just soaking it all in. If you ever find yourself in Cluj, do yourself a favor: GO. Step through those doors, leave reality behind for a while, and get lost in the magic of this place. #SteampunkMuseumCluj #SteampunkTransylvaniashow more

Ain't that the truth. There are 14.2 million people... living in poverty in the UK and 4.5 million of them are children. That's more than one in every 3 children. Amnesty research shows two-thirds of people in Britain are worried about affording the essentials, like heating and food, this winter. This is a political choice. The Government must and can do so much more to end poverty in the UK in 2026.show more

This McDonald’s employee really looked at that slice of... cheese hanging halfway out of the sandwich, closed the box, and thought, “Yep, that’s good to go.” It’s not even about the cheese. It’s about the complete lack of pride in doing the job right. When you’re paying more than ever for fast food, the least customers should expect is a sandwich that looks like someone spent five seconds making it.show more

This is Britain now. some imported savage striding down... a British street, swinging a massive machete like it’s his personal battlefield. English people scattering, watching in shock, trying to go about their day while this enrichment plays out in broad daylight. Not a fantasy. Not “isolated.” This is daily reality in towns and cities our ancestors built. This isn’t mental health. This isn’t “a few bad apples.” It’s the inevitable import of incompatible peoples who bring their tribal violence, their contempt for our laws, and their refusal to become civilised in a land that was never theirs. England’s streets were never meant to host machete diplomacy from the failed corners of the world. We owe these people nothing. They owe us our safety, our peace, our country back. Deport them. Every last one who raises a blade against our folk. Strip the troublemakers of any claim they think they have and send them packing to the hellholes that forged them. Protect the natives. Reclaim our islands. England first, last, and forever. No more weakness. No more tolerance for those who hate us.show more
