Happy Belated Fourth, everybody! Filling in for Lainey tonight, so let’s get to it: As I warned on Thursday, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding was on track to slam into the holiday weekend like a meteor, and that was a bit of an understatement. You may have already seen headlines about Adam Sandler officiating the wedding, and don’t worry, the heat did not melt your brain. That actually happened. Normal people will find this detail cute, or at the very least, innocuous. Weirdos will try and connect it to a certain international conflict. Don’t be weirdos. - (USA Today)
On that note, Joshua Kushner is not Jared Kushner. These are two separate people with entirely different views on the world. Good talk. (Celebitchy)
The one good party would like teen pregnancy to not be great again. (Wonkette)
Danny McBride is very excited about his G.I. Joe script. (Gizmodo)
Nintendo is ready to battle Pokémon scalpers. (Kotaku)
Fast Forever is apparently filming? That can’t be right. (Variety)
I can’t wait to see how Christian Bale goes method for this. (The Wrap)
Lena Dunham was called a “genius” for this joke? I really need to stop caping for Taylor. What am I doing with my life? (THR)
Lord of the Rings taught Hollywood the wrong lessons. (Polygon)
And Blake Lively did not make the cut. I told you this thing consumed the entire weekend. We’re lucky to be alive. (Vulture)
Samantha Downing’s comedic thriller, Too Old for This, surprised NatteringwPride. “I did not expect to find myself hoping that an 80-year-old woman was able to successfully murder multiple people, including law enforcement, when I picked up this book.” Who do you root for fictionally that you might not support in real life?

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.
