251023 JEONGHAN and WONWOO’s Presidential Commendation Award Acceptance Speech: 👤: The 3rd-generation K-pop representative group SEVENTEEN has achieved the highest all-time domestic sales, and they’re showing great popularity in Korea through their entry on the Billboard chart. We’ll now hand over the trophy and bouquet. Jeonghan and Wonwoo have come up as the award recipients today. 👼: Hello, this is Jeonghan from SEVENTEEN. Our members are currently on an overseas tour, so just the two of us came to attend today. First of all, it’s our 10th debut anniversary and to receive such a big award like the Presidential Commendation makes it even more meaningful. I feel very honored… I’m really nervous ㅎㅎ I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the K-pop industry and culture. We, SEVENTEEN, will also continue to work even harder for the development of K-pop. I also want to say thank you so, so much to our CARATs, who always stay by our side and cheer us on with such kind words. Thank you. 🐈‍⬛: I’m Wonwoo from SEVENTEEN.

JUNIORMARK STANDARD POP #THEINTERVIEWxJUNIORMARK 💭: A heartwarming moment from the concert 🌙: There were heartwarming moments too, right there on stage. One of them was on Day 1, during the performance of TearDrops. I remember that after we finished the song, I was still feeling a little emotional. At that moment, my eyes were welling up with tears because we were performing such a sad song. Then I smiled at you, and you reached over and patted my head. That was a really heartwarming moment ☀️: For me, there were only intense moments ☀️: More than twenty stylists… 🌙: That’s right, that’s right ☀️: …all swarmed in to do our hair and makeup. It honestly felt like an Avengers moment. They were all the stylists we’d worked with before, gathering together to help restore JuniorMark’s faces back to normal after everything had been completely messed up 🌙: One person was fixing the eyebrows, another the lips, another the cheeks, and so on. There were so many people helping. ☀️: The results didn’t even match. The left side of the face looked like one style, and the right side looked like another 😂 Just kidding ☀️: There were five hairstylists blow-drying my hair together. Then all the hairdryers suddenly stopped working because the extension cord couldn’t handle five hairdryers running at the same time, so the power tripped. 😂 🌙: But the final result turned out great,really good, actually ☀️: And it only took ten minutes. Super fast

mgkが長女キャシー（Casie）と一緒に、原宿のmgkポップアップに登場！🇯🇵✌️ 日本のファンに向けて、mgkが特別なメッセージを届けました❤️‍🔥 「 日本、戻ってきました。ここでステージに立つのは7年ぶりです。この美しい国のためだけに特別なラインナップを用意した、限定mgkポップアップに来ています。 ESTバンダナのデザインを変えることはほとんどありません。とてもクラシックなものだからです。でも今回は、日本の国旗をイメージした特別なデザインにしました。日本の文化とこの国への大きなリスペクトを込めて、ここに赤い太陽を入れました。汚い言葉、ごめん、日本。 クソほど大好き。」 mgk初の東京ポップアップストアが、8月12日にUNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE HARAJUKU 3Fにオープンしました！ 8月23日まで開催され、Tシャツ、フーディー、キャップ、バンダナ、ソックス、ステッカー、ポストカードなど、日本限定のグッズが多数ラインナップされています。 On August 12, 2026, mgk and his eldest daughter, Casie Baker, made a surprise appearance at mgk’s Tokyo pop-up store in Harajuku, Japan. Just hours earlier, mgk had shared a poster for the pop-up on his Instagram Story, writing, “I’ll be there at 7 today to say konnichiwa ✌️🇯🇵.” True to his word, he showed up at the store that evening with Casie. After entering the pop-up with his daughter, mgk saw a young fan wearing a beautiful dress. He gave her a hug and complimented her, saying, “Your dress is so beautiful.” While at the pop-up, mgk also delivered a special message to his Japanese fans. “How long’s it been since I’ve been here?” he asked, before answering himself, “Too long, too long, too long.” He then continued, “Japan, I'm back. It's been 7 years since I've touched the stage here. We are at the exclusive mgk pop-up right here with a special line of merch just for this beautiful country. I rarely, I rarely tamper with the design of the EST bandana—it's very classic—but I did a special one just based off of your flag. I put the red sun right there out of a massive respect I have for this culture and this country. Sorry for cussing, Japan, I f- love you.” mgk’s first-ever Tokyo pop-up store officially opened on August 12 at the 3rd floor of UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE HARAJUKU.

One of the most encouraging conversations I had in Red Deer was with the Alberta snowbirds from Yuma. These are Albertans who spend part of the winter in places like Arizona, and instead of checking out politically while they were away, they helped turn Yuma into one of the most unexpectedly inspiring little hubs of the independence movement. In this conversation, they explain that their Yuma team held six pop-up signing events, and at one of the bigger turnouts they saw roughly 350 people show up, with only a handful of canvassers trying to keep up. That is not a gimmick. That is real support showing up in the middle of another country because Albertans abroad still care deeply about what happens back home. That is why this matters. A lot of people saw the Yuma story as a funny social media moment. But it is actually much more than that. It is a sign that this movement has reached a level of mainstream visibility where ordinary Albertans are no longer waiting for permission, no longer hiding their support, and no longer treating independence as some fringe theory that only gets discussed in private. They are carrying it with them wherever they go. Arizona, Mexico, Hawaii, even farther afield. That tells you something important: this idea is alive in people now. It travels with them. It is becoming part of their identity. The Yuma team also makes another point that matters. They were not calling themselves heroes. They said they were just tough Albertans who were not going to put up with any more nonsense. That is exactly the spirit behind a lot of this movement. Not celebrity. Not performance. Not paid activism. Just regular Albertans deciding to do something real because they believe this can actually happen. And in the conversation I say exactly that: the reason so many people are out there, whether in Arizona heat or Alberta wind, is because we genuinely believe this can happen. That is a big part of why the Yuma story hit so hard online. It gave people a visible example of momentum. It showed that support is not confined to one town, one rally, or one demographic. It showed that even when Albertans are temporarily outside the province, they are still emotionally and politically invested enough to organize, collect signatures, and encourage others. That kind of behavior only happens when a movement starts to feel real. People do not go to that kind of effort for something they think is doomed. And yes, a few naysayers tried to mock it or imply there was something improper about collecting signatures outside Canada. But that criticism mostly reveals how weak and short-sighted the opposition is. An Albertan with Alberta identification is still an Albertan wherever he or she happens to be standing. There is nothing absurd about that. In fact, it would be absurd to suggest that Albertans somehow lose their political rights the moment they cross a border for a holiday. The mockery never really landed because it was rooted more in reflexive sneering than in serious thought. What the Yuma story really symbolizes is critical mass. When people start setting up pop-up canvassing events not just in Alberta but around the world, it means the movement is no longer surviving on theory alone. It means people feel momentum. It means they want to be part of it. It means they can picture success. And that encouragement matters, because political movements grow when ordinary people start seeing visible signs that victory is possible. That is why this was such an important little segment. It was not just about Yuma. It was about proof that Alberta independence is spreading, normalizing, and becoming something more and more people believe can actually be done.

Kentucky will have to move on to another C in the 2027 class after Obinna Ekezie Jr reclasses to 2026, and commits to Louisville. Obinna wasn’t just Kentucky’s #1 C, he was their #1 overall player. Things were going well enough they hadn’t offered another C’ in 2027, (til recently) So what’s next? Kentucky has made prior contact with the 4 C’s we’ll talk about today, but it might be too late to get in seriously with a couple of them. First up: (#11) 5⭐️ Paul Osaruyi. (AZ) 6’9 220lb. Breakdown: Has the highest ceiling of any of the bigs. A+ Motor/Athlete. Elite rebounder, always in the right position. Extremely versatile defender. Defends the perimeter, the paint, the rim. Very high defensive IQ. His offense is still coming along. He’s got good hands, he makes tough catches in traffic under the rim, he catches plenty of lobs, and he’s an elite rim runner who can catch and put the ball on the floor in the open court. Solid handle when not being pressured, but he doesn’t have the best footwork right now,’ so he’s limited in the post with the ball in his hands. Has a decent enough jumper he can face up, even pop out and knock one down, slips really well off screens into a push shot. But once the tools are sharpened, once he gets with some elite coaching, like I said could be the highest ceiling of all them. Very versatile offensive potential. Reclass was talked about early, still could be a possibility as well. Something to watch as Kentucky just recently extended an offer. West Virginia, Houston, Arkansas, Kansas, BYU, thought to be the main schools right now. WVU has strong ties. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

🚨 Big man alert 🚨 Everyone’s hunting for size in the portal. We’ve got one who you need to look at. Meet Ahjany Lee (6’9 1/2” on the tape with shoes on). Ahjany just wrapped up two seasons at HCU after beginning his career at the University of St. Thomas (MN) in the Summit League, where he played for one of the best mid-major coaches in the country in Johnny Tauer. Ahjany Lee: • Skilled, mobile big who rebounds, protects the rim, and is a legitimate pick-and-pop threat • Fully recovered from an October 2024 knee injury. Crushed it in the summer and early fall of 2024 and had earned our starting big man spot prior to the injury. Came back in 2025-26 and by the middle part of this season was comfortable, confident, and explosive (see included highlights). • Elite per-minute producer: At St. Thomas as an underclassmen he played 822 minutes across two seasons. He averaged 4.6 PPG, 3.7 RPG, and nearly 1 BPG in just 13.9 MPG (.508 FG / .364 3PT / .802 FT). Play him 28 minutes per game and those numbers are 9.2 PPG, 7.5 RPG, and 2 BPG. • Very intelligent, consistent work ethic, and high character. *Basketball family — Sister is Ayoka Lee who was a star at Kansas State. Coaches: Call me on Ahjany and I’ll let you know everything you need to know. Ahjany can help immediately as a 2nd/3rd big at the D1 level or be a featured piece at an NCAA D2. Hit me up!

A hungry fox had a squirrel trapped with nowhere to run. It looked like the chase was over. But just as the fox got close enough to attack, it suddenly stopped. The squirrel was pregnant, and instead of going after her, the fox backed away and curled up nearby in the freezing cold. A girl who had been watching couldn’t believe what she had just seen. Feeling sorry for the hungry fox, she offered it a piece of bread. The fox gently took it from her hand and then surprised her even more by following her all the way home. She went inside and brought out some chicken, which the fox quickly ate before disappearing. The next day, it came back. But this time, it had something in its mouth — an old, worn-out soccer ball. The fox dropped the ball near the girl and stood there watching her, almost as if it had brought her a gift. From that day on, the fox became a regular visitor. The girl left food out for it, and over time, the skinny little fox grew healthier and stronger. Then one day, it showed up with another fox. She was covered in scars and looked like she’d had a rough life in the wild. The two were incredibly close, always resting together and gently grooming each other. The girl welcomed them both and continued looking after them. Then one morning, she noticed something moving beneath her backyard deck. Tiny fox pups began popping their heads out one after another. The foxes had chosen her yard as the place where they felt safe enough to raise their babies. So the girl decided to make the backyard even more comfortable for the new family. The hungry fox she once met on a freezing day had finally found a place where it felt safe, cared for, and welcome. If this story touched your heart, leave a like. ❤️

When you see horrific videos like this pop up on your feed over and over again, you will inevitably ask yourself at some point: "How on Earth is it possible that Black people seemingly have no "OFF" switch when it comes to violence? They are always ganging up in groups on a single helpless victim, and wailing on them long after they are unconscious, often killing them. WHY?" Allow me to explain in terms that a 3rd grader could understand 👇 In a nutshell, it all comes down to differing brain chemistry between the races, which is actually downstream from FOOD AVAILABILITY in their ancestral homelands. Whites evolved in colder climates (Europe) Blacks evolved in warmer climates (Africa) Food is more scarce in colder climates, which required the White brain to develop long-term thinking skills (more advanced hunting techniques, farming, storage to maintain the food during rough weather periods, etc.) which quite literally FORCED their brains to become bigger in size and have higher IQ. Those who didn't, were quickly starved off in the winter and removed from the gene pool. Food is abundant in southern climates like Africa, so none of these long-term thinking forcing functions existed. For their entire ancestral history, Africans could wake up, grab some fruit off a tree, and if they wanted meat, SPRINT down an animal right outside of their hut, often in groups that ganged up on the animal to take it down. These differences in optimization (mental vs. physical), as a downstream result of ancestral food availability, perfectly explains why today we see: - Whites have superior IQ/long-term thinking skills (dominant in all intellectual areas, and societies are more civilized) - Blacks have superior physical/athletic capability (dominant in sprinting sports and most sports in general, but societies are more primitive) Sadly, one of the downsides of lower IQ, is lower impulse-control (this is the first thing you lose when you have a less-developed prefrontal cortex, as Blacks biologically do as a result of the ancestral/evolutionary processes outlined above). This is the simple reason why Blacks act so differently in fighting scenarios than Whites, ganging up and not having an "off" switch once they go into violence mode. They evolved in the jungle, tribing up with others in their village, working as a team to take down their target during their hunt. (They don't have the same mental connection between action and consequence in a civilized society as Whites do). Nothing I just explained should be controversial. I'm not saying anyone is "better" than anyone else, just that different races have evolved to have different optimizations, and understanding these differences will help you understand how the world and the people within it operate.

For their entire ancestral history, Africans could wake up, grab some fruit off a tree, and if they wanted meat, SPRINT down an animal right outside of their hut, often in groups that ganged up on the animal to take it down. These differences in optimization (mental vs. physical), as a downstream result of ancestral food availability, perfectly explains why today we see: - Whites have superior IQ/long-term thinking skills (dominant in all intellectual areas, and societies are more civilized) - Blacks have superior physical/athletic capability (dominant in sprinting sports and most sports in general, but societies are more primitive) Sadly, one of the downsides of lower IQ, is lower impulse-control (this is the first thing you lose when you have a less-developed prefrontal cortex, as Blacks biologically do as a result of the ancestral/evolutionary processes outlined above). This is the simple reason why Blacks act so differently in fighting scenarios than Whites, ganging up and not having an "off" switch once they go into violence mode. They evolved in the jungle, tribing up with others in their village, working as a team to take down their target during their hunt. (They don't have the same mental connection between action and consequence in a civilized society as Whites do). Nothing I just explained should be controversial. I'm not saying anyone is "better" than anyone else, just that different races have evolved to have different optimizations, and understanding these differences will help you understand how the world and the people within it operate.

Larry Ellison borrowed $125 billion to bet everything on a single customer that LOSES $5 billion a year. American banks are already refusing to lend him another dollar. And now that single customer has started to slowly walk away. This is one of the biggest gambles in tech history - and it’s NOT looking good: Oracle has $124.7 billion in debt on its books right now. That's more than the GDP of 100+ countries. Their free cash flow over the last 12 months? Negative $13.18 billion. They are spending more money than they make. And they're doing it on PURPOSE. Every other hyperscaler funds their AI buildout with cash. Google has cash. Amazon has cash. Microsoft has cash. Oracle has IOUs. They raised $58 billion in debt in just two months. $38 billion for Texas and Wisconsin data centers. $20 billion for New Mexico. And they need another $100 billion on top of that. Even US banks are starting to say no. TD Cowen reported that multiple banks have pulled back from Oracle lending. Borrowing costs have roughly DOUBLED since September. They're now paying interest rates typically reserved for companies rated below investment grade. Barclays downgraded their debt to underweight and warned Oracle could run out of cash by November 2026. So what does Larry Ellison do? He FIRES 30,000 people. Oracle is planning layoffs affecting up to 18% of its entire workforce. The goal is to free up $8 to $10 billion in cash flow just to keep the lights on while they build data centers for ONE customer: OpenAI. Oracle's $553 billion backlog sounds incredible until you realize a massive chunk of it flows through a single relationship. If OpenAI sneezes, Oracle catches pneumonia. And OpenAI is already sneezing... Sam Altman DROPPED plans to expand the Stargate site in Abilene, Texas. And the reason is insane: Nvidia's chips are improving so fast that by the time Oracle finishes building the data center, the processors inside it will already be outdated. Oracle is building with Blackwell chips. But Nvidia's new Vera Rubin platform delivers 5x the inference performance at 10x lower cost per token. So Oracle is borrowing billions to build facilities that will house yesterday's technology before they even open. The world of bits moves faster than the world of atoms. And Oracle is trapped in between. But here's where it gets wild: The earnings call revealed something most people missed... Oracle now REQUIRES certain customers to buy their own GPUs upfront and hand them over. They call it the "bring your own chips" model. Translation: Oracle can't afford the hardware anymore. So they're asking customers to fund the construction of Oracle's OWN data centers. The stock is still down 23% this year even after the 12% earnings pop. Moody's rates Oracle just two notches above junk status. Lower than Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft. And they have $248 billion in ADDITIONAL lease obligations that aren't even on the balance sheet yet. Larry Ellison is 81 years old and making the biggest bet in corporate history. He's trying to turn a legacy database company into a hyperscale AI cloud provider using other people's money. All while his only major customer is a startup that burns $5 billion a year and just had its expansion partner refuse to fund the next campus. The earnings beat was real. Revenue up 22%. Cloud infrastructure up 84%. But revenue growth funded by debt isn't growth. It's leverage. And leverage works both ways. If OpenAI stays loyal, if the Stargate buildout continues, if the debt markets keep lending, if Vera Rubin doesn't make their entire infrastructure obsolete overnight, then Larry Ellison pulled off the greatest corporate reinvention in history. But that's a lot of ifs for a company two notches above junk. Oracle is either the most undervalued AI play on the market or the most overleveraged house of cards since 2008. The next six months will tell us which one.

One year. One whole year already. And yet, I still can’t believe it. I still have this strange feeling that none of this is real. It’s like I’m trapped in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. As if, at any moment, you’ll show up again — with your smile, your laugh, your voice that feels so familiar. But time keeps moving, and with every day that passes without you, this absence becomes a little more real. A little harder to bear. The truth is, it’s been a year since you left. And the world has felt a little quieter ever since. You know, Liam, there’s not a single day that goes by without us thinking of you. You left such a huge mark on our lives, on our hearts — far beyond the music. Because you weren’t just an incredible artist. You were a bright soul — genuine, kind, generous, always there for everyone else. You had that rare gift of understanding people, of comforting them, of giving strength even when you barely had any left for yourself. That’s what made you so special, Liam. You brought light just by being you. And that’s why everything about you is missed so deeply. Everything you left behind still lives on today. Your songs, your words, your smile, every memory you gave us. You’re everywhere — in our thoughts, in every melody, in every laugh we share when we remember you. We keep celebrating you, talking about you, keeping you alive through everything you built. I think a lot about your family — Your dad, your mum, your sisters, your son, your loved ones — those who knew and loved you long before the world did. Losing someone so suddenly is unimaginable. I can only imagine how hard it must still be, even after a year, to try and move forward without you. I’m sending them all my love, all my support. Because you were their son, their brother, their light. And I know your absence must still feel like an unfillable space. I also think about your friends, and about those who were more than that — the boys, your brothers. Because One Direction wasn’t just a band. It was a family. You grew up together, laughed, created, shared memories no one else will ever truly understand. Nothing will ever erase that bond. And I know they carry that pain too. And then there’s us. Us, the fans — the ones you made smile, dream, grow. We still remember your words, your laughter, your energy. We haven’t forgotten you, Liam. We never will. You live through us — through your music, your laughter, your heart. You are a part of us, and you always will be. I just hope that where you are now, you’re not hurting anymore. That you’ve finally found the peace you always deserved. So if I could talk to you today, I’d simply say: Thank you, Liam. Thank you for existing. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for being who you were. Thank you for everything you gave us. We miss you more than words can ever say. A little more every single day. But you still live on — through everything you were, everything you created, everything you left behind. You’ll always be there, somewhere — in every note, in every smile, in every heartbeat that still thinks of you. We’ll never forget you. Forever ✨🤍🕊️

I’m on a mission to stop men from black-pilling on the idea that marriage, kids, grandkids, and a wife over 40 or 50 means a low-sex or sexless life with a wife they no longer find attractive. That’s becoming the norm in far too many marriages that last long enough to reach their 40s and beyond. It’s driving men away from marriage while lulling women into thinking the norm is acceptable - even as it harms marriage as a whole. I’m not dumping the whole job of keeping a 40+ marriage sexy on wives. Husbands have a responsibility too which includes expecting, investing, and enabling their wives to successfully respond to those expectations. Toward that end, last year I set an ambitious goal for my 52-year-old wife - mother of our three kids and grandmother to our one grandchild so far - to get back on the NPC stage after more than a decade away from it and win her IFBB pro card in Fit Model. I invested heavily in that goal and with the coach we hired, we built a 3-show plan for this summer. The first two shows were to qualify for nationals (where pro cards are won) and get her comfortable on stage again. After a year-plus of work getting herself stage ready she won 1st in her 50+ class in Vegas in July, 1st again in Nashville in August, then competed in Pittsburgh about a week ago - the show where winning the class could earn the pro card. We left home a week before Nashville and stayed on the road through Pittsburgh - 5 weeks of strange hotel and Airbnb beds, strange gyms, and strange kitchens to cook in to stay on plan. It took a bit of a toll. Avis’s back started acting up after Nashville. She’s had “tweaky” back issues on and off for decades, so it wasn’t a total surprise. In Pittsburgh we got her massages and she used the foam roller with some success. But show morning it flared up again. She was dealing with some pain and struggled some in her posing - hitting poses cleanly and holding a smile is part of the judging, not just the physique alone. If you watch the video of her routine that morning you can see it in compared to previous shows. That’s not an excuse - just a reality and every woman who walked out there was fighting something. After the 50+ A Fit Model routines, the women line up on either side of the stage while judges pick the top 6 for first callouts. If you miss first callouts your shot at the win is over. Judges then move them around - front, rear, side by side - usually ending with 1st in the center. That is the comparison video I shared. At the end of first callouts I couldn’t tell if they had Avis 2nd, 3rd, or 4th because of the even number of girls in the callout. At finals we learned it was 3rd. 3rd is nothing to be ashamed of at a national show against what is supposed to be the best of the best - but the reality was not placing 1st meant missing the pro card. We have a new plan and a couple of new targets - later this year or next year, depending on how it plays out. Looping back to my main point - every woman on stage in the videos I shared is over 50. How far over I don’t know. The one I’m married to is 52. I’m not saying every husband has to go this far in expectation or investment to have a marriage they enjoy. I am saying it is possible to have a decades-long marriage that does not become a dead bedroom with a wife who stopped prioritizing fitness. Don’t black-pill. Set the expectations that would actually be good for your marriage and invest enough to see them through. Wives - respond in good faith with the resources your husband is giving you. He has expectations because he wants a marriage both of you enjoy. -R

CLIP 1 ​When I talk about this 30th anniversary, I wrote about my feelings in a note for my new album, SHOOTING MY LOVE. Looking back, there have been so many things that have happened since I was a child—when I first started this career and thought of this as such a special kind of life—to now, when that life has become so natural that it feels like breathing, and has come to make up such a big part of who I am. ​It’s been such a long journey, and I feel like I’ve finally reached a really wonderful moment in my life. For my 30th anniversary, I feel like I’ve reached a time when I can do something special—not just something I want to do on my own, but something that you can all enjoy and celebrate together with me. ​It feels like I’ve arrived at a future that is even better than the one I imagined when I was young… Actually, I have to sing after this, so I can’t cry. Really. If I cry, my throat will close up. That’s why, even while watching the congratulatory video earlier, I was trying my best to hold back my emotions, thinking that I could always watch it by myself later. ​I’m so grateful that I’ve arrived at a future that is even better than the one I imagined as a child. I honestly never imagined this. When I had my very first fan meeting, the ‘Binkan Tour,’ I only sang three songs. I truly never imagined that, just a few years later, I would be here celebrating a day like this in the form of a concert. And I never acted with the expectation of receiving awards. The things I once thought would happen ‘someday’ have been given to me in a way that is far more wonderful than the future I had imagined. So, right now, I’m just incredibly grateful. ​CLIP 2 ​I sincerely want to thank everyone who stayed until the very end and shared this time with me. Even though there were so many other performances happening over the weekend, and even though a fireworks festival was drawing a crowd of one million people, you still chose to come and see me. Thank you for making the time for me. And thank you as well to everyone watching this video. ​How long will I be able to continue being together with BINGOs? When we started BINGO 1st generation, I began it with such a happy heart. But around the time of the 3rd generation, I found myself wondering quite often, ‘How long will I be able to continue this?’ And when we were preparing for BINGO 4th generation this time, I also honestly wondered, ‘When would be the right time for all of us to say goodbye while we’re still happy together?’ Because, you know, I’m getting older, day by day and year by year. ​Even so, I want to tell all of you how incredibly grateful I am for the love you always send my way. Thinking of all of you, whenever I felt myself becoming a little complacent, I wanted to make sure I would never feel ashamed in front of you. So I pushed myself even harder. That was the kind of year I had, with those moments continuing day after day. I’ve always worked hard, but this year, as I celebrated my 30th anniversary, I was especially grateful to be able to share two projects with you because you wanted to celebrate this milestone with me. And I’ll continue preparing and working hard throughout the rest of this year so that I can share two projects with you next year as well. ​This universe that we created together, this world called ‘Euniverse’—that may be how this fan concert got its title, but my world will continue to expand. I hope you’ll continue dreaming that dream with me. Nothing more and nothing less—I just hope you’ll keep the same feelings you have now for a long, long time. ​And finally, Mom, Dad, and Oppa, thank you.

CLIP 1 ​When I talk about this 30th anniversary, I wrote about my feelings in a note for my new album, SHOOTING MY LOVE. Looking back, there have been so many things that have happened since I was a child—when I first started this career and thought of this as such a special kind of life—to now, when that life has become so natural that it feels like breathing, and has come to make up such a big part of who I am. ​It’s been such a long journey, and I feel like I’ve finally reached a really wonderful moment in my life. For my 30th anniversary, I feel like I’ve reached a time when I can do something special—not just something I want to do on my own, but something that you can all enjoy and celebrate together with me. ​It feels like I’ve arrived at a future that is even better than the one I imagined when I was young… Actually, I have to sing after this, so I can’t cry. Really. If I cry, my throat will close up. That’s why, even while watching the congratulatory video earlier, I was trying my best to hold back my emotions, thinking that I could always watch it by myself later. ​I’m so grateful that I’ve arrived at a future that is even better than the one I imagined as a child. I honestly never imagined this. When I had my very first fan meeting, the ‘Binkan Tour,’ I only sang three songs. I truly never imagined that, just a few years later, I would be here celebrating a day like this in the form of a concert. And I never acted with the expectation of receiving awards. The things I once thought would happen ‘someday’ have been given to me in a way that is far more wonderful than the future I had imagined. So, right now, I’m just incredibly grateful. ​CLIP 2 ​I sincerely want to thank everyone who stayed until the very end and shared this time with me. Even though there were so many other performances happening over the weekend, and even though a fireworks festival was drawing a crowd of one million people, you still chose to come and see me. Thank you for making the time for me. And thank you as well to everyone watching this video. ​How long will I be able to continue being together with BINGOs? When we started BINGO 1st generation, I began it with such a happy heart. But around the time of the 3rd generation, I found myself wondering quite often, ‘How long will I be able to continue this?’ And when we were preparing for BINGO 4th generation this time, I also honestly wondered, ‘When would be the right time for all of us to say goodbye while we’re still happy together?’ Because, you know, I’m getting older, day by day and year by year. ​Even so, I want to tell all of you how incredibly grateful I am for the love you always send my way. Thinking of all of you, whenever I felt myself becoming a little complacent, I wanted to make sure I would never feel ashamed in front of you. So I pushed myself even harder. That was the kind of year I had, with those moments continuing day after day. I’ve always worked hard, but this year, as I celebrated my 30th anniversary, I was especially grateful to be able to share two projects with you because you wanted to celebrate this milestone with me. And I’ll continue preparing and working hard throughout the rest of this year so that I can share two projects with you next year as well. ​This universe that we created together, this world called ‘Euniverse’—that may be how this fan concert got its title, but my world will continue to expand. I hope you’ll continue dreaming that dream with me. Nothing more and nothing less—I just hope you’ll keep the same feelings you have now for a long, long time. ​And finally, Mom, Dad, and Oppa, thank you. Ever since I began living a life that was different from everyone else’s, from when I was a child, it was my family who became the foundation that allowed me to grow up well. Thank you so much for coming today. I hope everyone finishes this year well, and let’s meet again next year with happy hearts. Promise me. 🤙

It feels like there’s an acceleration in the horrors suffered by good people. Charlie Kirk wasn’t a violent man. He didn’t lead a band of thugs. He met people respectfully, as equals, and debated to resolve differences using understanding and logic. He didn’t condemn; he engaged - and that openness was exploited to kill him. You’d think the Left might recognise this and extend to Charlie even 1% of the reverence and respect they gave the drugged-up, violent criminal George Floyd. Nope. The response from the “kind and tolerant” crowd was exactly what you’d imagine. Left-wing outlets swung into action to blame Charlie for his own shooting. To them, words are “violence” but actual violence is totally justifiable. The New Republic labelled him a “MAGA troll” in a headline on the day of his murder. To look at Charlie - a smart, decent family man with conservative Christian values - and define him as a troll on the day he was killed takes a special kind of disgusting. Speaking of a special kind of disgusting: race-grifter Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, an honorary Some-Made-Up-Academic-Bollocks at Newcastle University, called his death “poetic” before his blood had dried. Another race-grifter, Nels Abbey, compared Charlie to the KKK. MSNBC described Charlie as “divisive” and “polarizing.” Do these people not realise their words are broadcast and someone might tune in? I know it’s MSNBC, but someone might watch. Feminist outlet Jezebel had - days earlier - hired a witch to put a curse on him, then posted a very strange editorial note after the shooting. It’s a shame it isn’t the 1700s, or I’m pretty sure that would be grounds for a dunking. Leftists even disrupted a vigil held to mourn him. Classy. And what’s going on at Oxford? Once one of the best universities in the world, Oxford now seems to allocate positions like a casting call for a British TV advert. George Abaraonye, President of the Oxford Union - literally a scholar, although he looks more like the drummer from Bob Vylan - posted “Charlie Kirk got shot, let’s f***ing go” and “Charlie Kirk got shot loool.” He’d previously debated Charlie at Oxford and - brace yourself - lost. He later apologised, calling his reaction “impulsive.” Impulsive! I never would have guessed that would be a character trait! The bitterest woman in comedy - even more bitter than me - Jo Caulfield, responded to a heartfelt post by Jeremy Clarkson saying he was, for the first time, scared of writing his column, with: “Well stop being so objectionable. Problem solved.” Just agree with us or we’ll kill you! Lefty comedians piled in. Transgender comedian Brandy Bryant announced that Charlie’s grave is now a gender-neutral toilet. Doesn’t even work as a joke, but well done on revealing yourself Brandy, you Adam Ant roadie-looking binbag muncher. You look like a scaffolder on a stag do. British comedians who live in a bubble of rabid leftism got stuck in too. Dumpy communist Josie Long quipped, “I’m on Twitter for the night for the craic; pig Christmases are rare.” A pig Christmas is any Christmas with Josie Long at it. They also used the murder to push their agenda: “This wouldn’t have happened with gun control.” Look how safe Britain is with gun control. “Your daughter was raped to death and put in a kebab by a grooming gang, but the good news is you can’t shoot them.” So many left-wing commentators and political figures showed nothing but disdain. They don’t care that Charlie was killed. When they take power, do you think they’ll care about you? Even in official spaces, dignity failed. A moment of silence for Charlie in the U.S. House of Representatives turned into a row. In the European Parliament, a conservative MEP tried to give up his speaking time for a minute’s silence and was shut down - morally repugnant and diplomatically idiotic, given Charlie’s ties to Trump. Charlie even foretold this, posting months ago about an “assassination culture” spreading on the Left - citing surveys where huge numbers of liberals said murdering Trump or Elon Musk would be at least somewhat justified. He warned that left-wing protest culture tolerating violence had created a ticking time bomb. You know why they hated Charlie? Because he was right, and because he didn’t use force; he used debate. They knew he could change minds, and they had no answer to that. Their arguments couldn’t defeat Charlie - so they used violence. That’s why they keep posting the same lame attempt at a joke, “he lost the debate.” They know their ideas can't win. The trouble with leftists is they believe the ends justify the means and that they have a monopoly on “kindness,” so their conscience doesn’t trouble them while they commit atrocities. Charlie’s yearning to preserve America - and Western civilisation - is exactly what the Left sees as hateful. May he rest in peace.

Carol Vorderman in conversation with James O'Brein over Reform UK's Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon's insulting remarks JOB, "Carol Vorderman has asked Robert Kenyon, a Reform UK's candidate in the imminent Makerfield by election, for an apology, for posts on a now deleted X account in which he, Well, you'll find out, if you don't know already, she said, I want an apology from Rob Kenyon to me and to all the other people he's abused online." JOB, "I sat down with Carol yesterday afternoon to talk about this and, one or two other things. It occurred to me, just sitting down now, Carol, that this is not something you, you sought because you haven't been in any sense reticent in recent years with your political opinions and even with activism, but you've been dragged into this deeply unpleasant situation entirely innocently." JOB, "So unpleasant, in fact, that I'm not sure I can repeat, I'm not sure I'm comfortable saying in front of you the words that Robert Kenyon chose to endorse and defend on, social media." CV, "Well, I am, because it's important that people know. And this is just one comment. He has made multiple comments which are online abuse about me and lots of other people. So the one specifically about me that he endorsed was I want to smell and lick Carol Vorderman's eight letter word beginning with A." CV, "And reform have said, oh, it's just locker room banter. I don't know why they're using the term locker room, by the way, because I thought we said changing rooms in this country. But that's an entirely different, different, question. But the thing is, James, I'm not upset by it, I am angered by it." CV, "And the reason that I'm angered by it is because every woman listening, any woman who is on social media will have similar said to her, either abusive, all the other things that he said. You know, there was some forum that he was on, rugby, league forum, and they were posting pictures of the girls, the women who play." CV, "And then he was saying, oh, English women, they don't care. All they want to do with their fat bellies, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Then there was some, European women. Then he was saying, you know, oh, you wouldn't get me off them with a bazooka." CV, "You know, all this stuff, stuff about abortion. I mean, it's just disgusting stuff. And it's not just one comment, it's a tirade of online abuse. And every woman listening who has had that will know how it makes them feel." CV, "And so I am angry that a political party can take this person on one without obviously vetting him properly. But also that they just defend it and they're fine with that." JOB, "He was not a politician at the time. He was an ordinary man from an ordinary place, said Danny Craig group." CV, "Really? That's what. Yeah, that's what posh boys, who lead the Reform Party think, of ordinary men. Well, ordinary men generally are lovely, you know, they really are." JOB, "We do our best." CV, "Well, you are. And they respect women. All of that is true. But you have this growing minority who are extremely abusive. And I'm 65, James. And so I've been, you know, and women my age, we've been through the hard years." CV, "So in the 70s, you know, I was a bright kid from a comp in North Wales. Free school meals kid. And it took, you know, a lot to get to a Cambridge college because there were only, three girls colleges." CV, "And I think four or five had gone what they called mixed. So these are boys colleges taking on women's colleges. And it was like, why wouldn't you? You know, I was from a boys and girls comp, but we had to go through that." CV, "You had to be the first woman to do this. First woman from a state school. Northwest goes Cambridge first. You know, I was, I think, when I did engineering, There were about 300 students in our year, four or five of them were girls. I worked underground, me and 2,000 men, all this." CV, "So we have done the hard years over decades, all that. I wanted to be a fighter pilot. You can't, because you're a girl and you don't have the appendage that's required. You know, all of this nonsense that we had to put up with. So, for me, that this Reform Party is saying on day one, they would repeal the Equality act." CV, "And we all know what that means. So, you know, the protections against harassment of women in the workplace, the, equal pay, maternity leave, maternity pay, all of those. We're going to scrap all those. So it is indicative of the way in which this might go, as we've seen in America." JOB, "I think talking of ordinary men, the person who pushed back against him on social media was. It was a rather better model of masculinity." CV, "Yes, absolutely. So he's the author, Chris Ryan, who is a former SAS hero, a very successful author. Chris is his pen name. And, he absolutely defended me because he is a real man." CV, "He's not a pretend. He's a real guy and a guy who respects women." JOB, "I suppose, in some sense, the writing was on the wall with the leadership of reform who have not responded by the way, to, our, requests a, response to these allegations of misogyny, including the comments directed at you." JOB, "But when James McMurdoch Ended up in Parliament just after the last election, and, it quickly emerged that he'd been jailed for attacking a former girlfriend." CV, "Yes. And here is another example, a very serious example of, to me, reforms, excuses for things. So I think it was a Times newspaper fact he only got in with a majority of 98." CV, "So imagine if this information had been available beforehand about him. So, shortly after he was elected in 2024 as a Reform MP, I think it was a Times newspaper, found that he had been convicted and served time for, assaulting his girlfriend." CV, "He then said in his defense, oh, it was a push. Then the official court documents show that she was on the floor. He was kicking her multiple times while she was on the floor and had to be, dragged away by two security guards." CV, "Very different stories. Richard Tice then defends it, saying, oh, well, he's served his time. That was a long time ago. It doesn't matter. I am sorry. It matters. It matters to women. We know how much harassment online has increased and offline." CV, "So this is a time for all women to stand up and say, enough now, we are not going backwards." JOB, "I suppose one example is. It could be chalked up as accidental or carelessness. But two examples and emerging patterns speak of something altogether more sinister." CV, "Yes, well, Lee Anderson, bless him, when he was a Tory. That was after he was a Labour." JOB, "Yes." CV, "And now he's a Reform." JOB, "Correct. Well, at the time of this conversation, we'll have to check before we play it" CV, "out on the program tomorrow. Yeah, so he was, in the Conservative Party at the time and he was slinging insults to me all the time on Twitter in, the days when we used to be on Twitter. And, you know, obviously now he's reformed, he thinks it's perfectly acceptable." CV, "So there is a pattern there with this party. And, that is my concern that they will, if they get into, and they've stated it out in the open, we will repeal the Equality Act." JOB, "It's surprising to me when people like Danny Kruger talk about ordinary people. An ordinary man for an ordinary man." CV, "When he went to Eton." JOB, "Yeah. And, well, also his mother is on telly as well, so, you know, he or she at, at least will be aware of the misogyny that police. Yeah, yeah. You think that that might have given him a slightly more sensitive insight into what it's like for women like you. And, and you are tough. I mean, I don't mean that in a patronizing way." CV, "I take it as a compliment." JOB, "Good, I'm glad you do because you are perfectly capable of looking after yourself. A lot of women, both online and offline, are not, of course, and those are the kind of women that, misogynistic men prey on." CV, "But the thing is, I, I have a tough skin now because of all of the abuse over decades. And it. You know, I can remember when I wore a short skirt to the BAFTAs. I was age 39. Well, it was like I'd killed my grandmother the next day." CV, "It was the quest. Even the BBC made a whole Kilroy show about it. Flew this dress in copy dress from Paris. And, the question was, should a woman age 39 wear a dress above the knee? Jeez, I mean, that's my lifetime. This isn't Victorian days or my mother or post war." CV, "This is me in my lifetime. So, you know, as I go back to the beginning, women my age who love the fact that our daughters or nieces, or grandchildren have, can play football, you know, very happily can be applauded for what they do in sport." CV, "Can be. Oh, another thing that I'll, Kenyon said was that women can't referee, drive, take directions. And he had a go at various female sports presenters on the telly. You know, it's constant, it's consistent." JOB, "So they're not, they're not up to the job. They're only there to tick a box. And then declaring and From a political point of view, this is interesting actually stating I'm sexist. Sorry, but I am." CV, "Yeah." JOB, "And then the defense from reform UK becomes. These comments were made before he entered politics. He's perfectly entitled to his own personal opinions." CV, "That was three weeks ago." JOB, "Yeah, yeah. It's extraordinary that he can state that because Murdoch didn't get dropped by the party for the conviction for battering his ex, he got dropped after it emerged that he'd taken Covid loans out under the COVID support scheme. I think that's still ongoing." JOB, "But to state I am sexist, sorry, but I am in 2024 would have probably been a career ending revelation. Do you think? We're going a bit backwards, But I think we" CV, "have the potential to go backwards and we now, you know, generally you go, life's good. You know, doing this, that and the other. When I began my career as an engineer, funnily enough, not many women then were talking about having a career because not Many women have been to university and all of that." CV, "Now, thankfully, decades later, women are having careers. But also, housing was a lot cheaper then. So now we need to. You need, two incomes to fund a mortgage generally in this country." CV, "So the whole business of, oh, well, we're going to scrap the law that says about equal pay. That's going to affect people directly. And this is what I want people to understand, really. This is. This is not just about a woman getting on a high horse about something." CV, "This is very, very, very. Couldn't be more serious." JOB, "And, yeah, it is, of course, people like Nigel Farage and Sarah Potchin who claim that they're the party dedicated to protecting women and children. I mean, it's beyond irony. It emerged yesterday that one in five of the people arrested over the riots in 2024, which many people feel were fermented by Nigel Farage's social media activ." JOB, "Five of the people arrested over those riots have since been reported to the police for domestic abuse. So to simultaneously encourage and excuse the misogyny that's been directed at you and at other women while claiming. And, of course, to put a violent offender into Parliament and say that that's not an excluding offense while simultaneously claiming that they act for women and children is, It's beyond parody, isn't it?" CV, "And those same people who were arrested, there were almost 900 of them, weren't there? About the riots across the country at the time, 41% had already, been reported to the police for domestic abuse." JOB, "So who are the women and children they're dedicated to protecting?" CV, "Well, quite." JOB, "And who are they protecting them from?" CV, "None." JOB, "It's good to see you. I knew that you would be, perturbed by this, but." CV, "I am." JOB, "But enraged?" CV, "Yes, I am." JOB, "And are you expecting an apology? I know you've demanded." CV, "Well, I can't." JOB, "You did not demand anything." CV, "I can't demand anything. I have asked for an apology. Not for me." JOB, "No." CV, "But for all of us. And for his comments so far. I just think we're on day three. Nothing." JOB, "Not even a whisper nothing or a nothing." CV, "He's still running away. Hiding away from cameras, maybe." JOB, "Don't hold your breath, Carol. Thank you." CV, "Thanks, James." JOB, "Still waiting. I hope she didn't hold her breath. We got a statement from Reform Councillor Kenyon, made these comments before entering politics. We are confident that he is an excellent candidate who will be a superb local MP for Makerfield. And a full list of all the candidates running there can be found at lbc co uk"

CV, "So imagine if this information had been available beforehand about him. So, shortly after he was elected in 2024 as a Reform MP, I think it was a Times newspaper, found that he had been convicted and served time for, assaulting his girlfriend." CV, "He then said in his defense, oh, it was a push. Then the official court documents show that she was on the floor. He was kicking her multiple times while she was on the floor and had to be, dragged away by two security guards." CV, "Very different stories. Richard Tice then defends it, saying, oh, well, he's served his time. That was a long time ago. It doesn't matter. I am sorry. It matters. It matters to women. We know how much harassment online has increased and offline." CV, "So this is a time for all women to stand up and say, enough now, we are not going backwards." JOB, "I suppose one example is. It could be chalked up as accidental or carelessness. But two examples and emerging patterns speak of something altogether more sinister." CV, "Yes, well, Lee Anderson, bless him, when he was a Tory. That was after he was a Labour." JOB, "Yes." CV, "And now he's a Reform." JOB, "Correct. Well, at the time of this conversation, we'll have to check before we play it" CV, "out on the program tomorrow. Yeah, so he was, in the Conservative Party at the time and he was slinging insults to me all the time on Twitter in, the days when we used to be on Twitter. And, you know, obviously now he's reformed, he thinks it's perfectly acceptable." CV, "So there is a pattern there with this party. And, that is my concern that they will, if they get into, and they've stated it out in the open, we will repeal the Equality Act." JOB, "It's surprising to me when people like Danny Kruger talk about ordinary people. An ordinary man for an ordinary man." CV, "When he went to Eton." JOB, "Yeah. And, well, also his mother is on telly as well, so, you know, he or she at, at least will be aware of the misogyny that police. Yeah, yeah. You think that that might have given him a slightly more sensitive insight into what it's like for women like you. And, and you are tough. I mean, I don't mean that in a patronizing way." CV, "I take it as a compliment." JOB, "Good, I'm glad you do because you are perfectly capable of looking after yourself. A lot of women, both online and offline, are not, of course, and those are the kind of women that, misogynistic men prey on." CV, "But the thing is, I, I have a tough skin now because of all of the abuse over decades. And it. You know, I can remember when I wore a short skirt to the BAFTAs. I was age 39. Well, it was like I'd killed my grandmother the next day." CV, "It was the quest. Even the BBC made a whole Kilroy show about it. Flew this dress in copy dress from Paris. And, the question was, should a woman age 39 wear a dress above the knee? Jeez, I mean, that's my lifetime. This isn't Victorian days or my mother or post war." CV, "This is me in my lifetime. So, you know, as I go back to the beginning, women my age who love the fact that our daughters or nieces, or grandchildren have, can play football, you know, very happily can be applauded for what they do in sport." CV, "Can be. Oh, another thing that I'll, Kenyon said was that women can't referee, drive, take directions. And he had a go at various female sports presenters on the telly. You know, it's constant, it's consistent." JOB, "So they're not, they're not up to the job. They're only there to tick a box. And then declaring and From a political point of view, this is interesting actually stating I'm sexist. Sorry, but I am." CV, "Yeah." JOB, "And then the defense from reform UK becomes. These comments were made before he entered politics. He's perfectly entitled to his own personal opinions." CV, "That was three weeks ago." JOB, "Yeah, yeah. It's extraordinary that he can state that because Murdoch didn't get dropped by the party for the conviction for battering his ex, he got dropped after it emerged that he'd taken Covid loans out under the COVID support scheme. I think that's still ongoing." JOB, "But to state I am sexist, sorry, but I am in 2024 would have probably been a career ending revelation. Do you think? We're going a bit backwards, But I think we" CV, "have the potential to go backwards and we now, you know, generally you go, life's good. You know, doing this, that and the other. When I began my career as an engineer, funnily enough, not many women then were talking about having a career because not Many women have been to university and all of that." CV, "Now, thankfully, decades later, women are having careers. But also, housing was a lot cheaper then. So now we need to. You need, two incomes to fund a mortgage generally in this country." CV, "So the whole business of, oh, well, we're going to scrap the law that says about equal pay. That's going to affect people directly. And this is what I want people to understand, really. This is. This is not just about a woman getting on a high horse about something." CV, "This is very, very, very. Couldn't be more serious." JOB, "And, yeah, it is, of course, people like Nigel Farage and Sarah Potchin who claim that they're the party dedicated to protecting women and children. I mean, it's beyond irony. It emerged yesterday that one in five of the people arrested over the riots in 2024, which many people feel were fermented by Nigel Farage's social media activ." JOB, "Five of the people arrested over those riots have since been reported to the police for domestic abuse. So to simultaneously encourage and excuse the misogyny that's been directed at you and at other women while claiming. And, of course, to put a violent offender into Parliament and say that that's not an excluding offense while simultaneously claiming that they act for women and children is, It's beyond parody, isn't it?" CV, "And those same people who were arrested, there were almost 900 of them, weren't there? About the riots across the country at the time, 41% had already, been reported to the police for domestic abuse." JOB, "So who are the women and children they're dedicated to protecting?" CV, "Well, quite." JOB, "And who are they protecting them from?" CV, "None." JOB, "It's good to see you. I knew that you would be, perturbed by this, but." CV, "I am." JOB, "But enraged?" CV, "Yes, I am." JOB, "And are you expecting an apology? I know you've demanded." CV, "Well, I can't." JOB, "You did not demand anything." CV, "I can't demand anything. I have asked for an apology. Not for me." JOB, "No." CV, "But for all of us. And for his comments so far. I just think we're on day three. Nothing." JOB, "Not even a whisper nothing or a nothing." CV, "He's still running away. Hiding away from cameras, maybe." JOB, "Don't hold your breath, Carol. Thank you." CV, "Thanks, James." JOB, "Still waiting. I hope she didn't hold her breath. We got a statement from Reform Councillor Kenyon, made these comments before entering politics. We are confident that he is an excellent candidate who will be a superb local MP for Makerfield. And a full list of all the candidates running there can be found at lbc co uk"
