Boy Culture Links: Drake Von Arrested (Again), Dr. El-Sayed (Barely) Wins in Michigan, 'Duck Dynasty' Heir Sent to Christian Camp to Fight Homosexuality + MORE
AUGUST 5, 2026
INSTINCT: Asshole of the year Drake Von has been arrested … again.
NEW YORK TIMES: Leftist candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed looks set to win the Michigan Democratic primary for the Senate by perhaps 1.7%. That means all the polls were off by 5-10% … sometimes more. Since he performed poorly with Black voters, is the takeaway that pollsters are even less in touch with Black communities than he is? I’m glad he is going to win, and I hope Haley Stevens will endorse him and help pull him across the finish line in November. It is my belief that the blue wave is not going to leave him behind, even if it’s anything but easy for him.
TMZ: Perez Hilton, who lost his damn mind and endorsed Jesus Christ and Spencer Pratt a while ago, got naked and cut himself up on TikTok Live Tuesday. The footage is gory and unhinged. He was taken to a hospital. I don’t wish him death, but it’s hard to feel bad for someone who has rooted for the worst when it came to Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, even Michael Jackson (he guffawed when Jackson was dying, claiming it was fake).
NEW YORK TIMES: Arizona’s Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) is picking an anti-Trump moderate Republican as her running mate in an effort to stay in power.
TV INSIDER: Youngest Duck Dynasty-ite — whose name is Rowdy Robertson — alleges he was sent to a Christian camp when he came out as gay.
JOE.MY.GOD.: Paramount-Warner Bros. merger hearing set for … March 2027. Bad news for the corporate overlords pushing it.
BOOK OF LOVE MUSIC: There’s a 40th-anniversary Book of Love tour coming. Scream.
KENNETH IN THE (212): How does he find the time to read all this?!
