This is The Five, our run down five things that we are passionate about, loving, are truly obsessed with, can’t wait for, give us a laugh, are truly inspirational, or are worthy of a little shade.

Today in The Five, we are featuring a Big Time Rush reunion, the brave Karter Payton, Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK get trippy, “his role was to help,” and Dear White People parody “I Take Responsibility.”

ONE: Big Time Rush Reunites

Big Time Rush had a virtual reunion and surprised fans with an acoustic rendition of “Worldwide.”

These challenging times around the world have made us want to connect with all of you so much. They have also made us want to stay connected with each other. We got inspired to record and sing together again seeing how many smiles our check in video created weeks back. We spent some time recently recording one of our favorite songs (safely apart) and wanted to share it with you all as our small way of saying thank you. We are sending love to all of you WORLDWIDE. Please take care of yourselves, take care of each other, pls take care of all of your fellow neighbors. We’ll be thinking about you…

TWO: Say Hello to Karter Payton

On the same day that the Supreme Court passed down a landmark ruling in support of the LGBTQ community, Walking Dead star Khary Payton introduced his transgender son Karter to the world — and it was all Karter’s idea!

Man, there is nothing more beautiful than watching your child feel the joy of exploring what it means to be true to themselves. This is his journey, and I am here for it. I hope you all have the opportunity to feel the unquenchable love that I am feeling right now.

THREE: The “Sour Candy” Lyric Video

Lady Gaga’s and BLACKPINK get kind of trippy.

FOUR: His Role Was to Help

Bless this man.

My dad was a police officer on Capitol Hill for 35yrs.

After seeing that video from ATL PD this am I thought I’d share my dad talking about what he did when he saw someone drunk while he was working.

The difference in outcomes is my dad knew his role was to HELP. pic.twitter.com/0LyNsfwrex

FIVE: Dear White People

The amazing people who bring us Dear White People at Netflix have given us a pitch-perfect parody of that “I Take Responsibility” video titled “Dear Us People.”

Here is the original for a refresher:
