Swift sparks NFL frenzy

Taylor Swift was once again watching purported new squeeze Travis Kelce play ball, and this time she was joined by Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner and Hugh Jackman.

Apparently Swift’s attendance led to an increase in female viewers, making it was the most-watched television program airing on a Sunday since the Super Bowl.

Trump’s bizarre rant

At a rally this week, 2024 presidential hopeful Donald Trump said he would rather be electrocuted than mauled by a shark in a bizarre rant, inspired by an apparent conversation he had with a boat manufacturer.

I will take electrocution every single time, do we agree?” he asked the crowd.

Barkour

A very smart border collie has mastered the art of parkour, or rather, barkour.

The dog was filmed jumping up on to some bike racks and making his way across all of them, not even wobbling, while his human exclaims how “cool” the trick is.
