they're trying to keep a lid on this, but major league baseball is now down to its last bat. for the rest of cubs-brewers, currently in progress this afternoon, all batters will share the bat. if the bat breaks that's the end of the sport. after that we'll most likely see a laser tag revival

i feel like travis kelce and taylor swift are seeing each other, right? they've been seen together in public tons of times, she's at most of his games, he's been to her concerts, they keep doing interviews where they say they're a couple. i mean at some point it's like, come on. you're a couple

the pacing is unbelievable. they spent three quarters of the script conservatively building anticipation for the final act in a way that not only didn't bore an eight-year-old but kept me 100% locked in. stunning achievement
this one should be hitting youtube at the end of september
