Elon Musk announced on Thursday that he plans to bring back Vine, the popular app from the 2010s. He shared this news on X, the social media site he bought in 2022. Musk posted simply: "we're bringing back Vine, but in AI form." This means the new Vine will use artificial intelligence, so it will be different from the original Vine. Musk had talked about wanting to bring Vine back before, asking users on X in 2022 if they wanted it to return. He didn't give many details about how the new Vine will work, but he said AI would be a big part of it. After Musk's post, fans had mixed reactions, with over 150,000 likes and 15,000 comments within 24 hours, as per the report by The Sun.

The Summer That Bloomed with Dignity: Full recap so far (episodes 1–3)

Source: Crunchyroll I f you're craving a calm, feel-good romance this anime season, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity aka The Summer That Bloomed with Dignity might just be your next obsession. This slow-burn love story blends soft visuals with surprisingly deep emotional beats, all wrapped in a refreshing high school setting. Produced by CloverWorks, the anime follows a misunderstood boy and a dignified girl from rival schools who find connection in the unlikeliest of places: a quiet bakery. No dramatic twists, no forced tropes, just two people gently learning to understand each other. Here's a full recap of everything that's happened so far in Episodes 1–3. The Summer That Bloomed with Dignity episode 1: A rough boy and a polite girl walk into a bakery… Source: Crunchyroll We meet Rintarou Tsumugi, a tall, scary-looking guy from Chidori High—a school known more for its fights than grades. But here's the twist: he's actually super sweet and works at his family's bakery. One day, Kaoruko Waguri, a top student from the elite Kikyo Girls' Academy, walks in. What starts as an awkward encounter slowly turns into genuine interest. Kaoruko sees beyond his intimidating face, while Rintarou is stunned by how warm and real she is—especially since their schools have an unspoken rivalry going on. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to ScottishPower ScottishPower Get Quote Undo The Summer That Bloomed with Dignity episode 2: Crossing school walls (literally) The tension builds when Rintarou realises she's from Kikyo, the kind of school that looks down on his. He assumes she'll never talk to him again. Spoiler: she shows up anyway. Kaoruko literally waits at the gate of Chidori just to see him. No drama, no big declarations, just genuine kindness. It's this quiet defiance of stereotypes and social pressure that makes this episode hit differently. The two share a simple conversation that feels more real than any over-the-top rom-com scene. The Summer That Bloomed with Dignity episode 3: Books, pressure, and something blooming Source: Crunchyroll Midterms are around the corner, and Rintarou needs to pass if he wants to attend the school festival. He studies alone until he runs into Kaoruko again. Instead of a dramatic study montage, we get calm, soft interactions that slowly build trust. Their bond strengthens, not through flashy romance, but through mutual respect and encouragement. It's all about the vibes: eye contact, soft smiles, and the kind of silence that says more than words. Why The Summer That Bloomed with Dignity works so well Subtle storytelling: No clichés. No sudden love confessions. Just two teens trying to be kind to each other in a world that expects them to stay apart. Gorgeous animation: CloverWorks is in their soft-era. Pastel lighting, expressive eyes, and that calm slice-of-life atmosphere. Unproblematic slow-burn romance: This isn't a story about changing someone. It's about seeing someone for who they already are. What's unfolding in The Summer That Bloomed with Dignity is a beautiful study in subtlety,two teens from rival schools slowly breaking down barriers not with drama, but through quiet kindness and understanding. Episodes 1 to 3 have already built a foundation of empathy, tension, and emotional resonance that many so‑called romance anime skip entirely. With each passing moment, shared smiles, thoughtful actions, and silent support, Kaoruko and Rintarou's bond cements in a way that feels real, not scripted. If the emotional tone of the first three episodes is anything to go by, the rest of the season is gearing up to be a gentle yet powerful journey of growth and connection.
