The Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max streaming bundle is now available. The combined service also comes with a clip of John Oliver comedically breaking down why the villain in whichever series you’re watching is “the worst.”
Snoop Dogg carried the Olympic torch before the opening ceremony in Paris. He quickly handed it off in the first ever “dream Olympic torch rotation.”

Barack Obama has endorsed Kamala Harris, giving her expected but crucial support — and forging the G.O.P.s first ever “nightmare presidential power rotation.”
