Y’all hear about this?..
A spokesperson for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is attempting to distance the candidate from a racist joke about Puerto Rico made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who spoke before the former president at his Madison Square Garden rally. In fact, Hinchcliffe just received a bill for the wall that’s being built between them.
Tim Walz and AOC played Madden together on Twitch in an appeal to young men. And the results are promising, with many young men saying “Okay! I’l go to the polls if you step away from the controller. Gosh!”
An 'Only Murders In The Building' co-creator has addressed Meryl Streep and Martin Short's relationship — making him the first suspect were something to happen to either of them.
A bus-sized asteroid will pass between the Earth and moon next week. Scientists worry Ms. Frizzle is waiting on the U.S. election results before returning the kids.
Finally…
Timothée Chalamet surprised participants of a New York City look-alike contest… A great day for his fans, and a weird one for any peaches within a three mile radius.
