There’s a new T. rex in town—and this giant beast ruled the seas Equipped with powerful jaws and finely serrated teeth, paleontologists say the 43-foot-long prehistoric marine reptile deserves the name Tylosaurus rex. What do you call a massive prehistoric reptilian tyrant, with large, powerful jaws and sharp serrated teeth? If you said Tyrannosaurus rex, that’s understandable: it’s the most famous dinosaurian predator ever. But this mystery beast swam the ocean depths, where no land-stalking Tyrannosaurus ever dove. What would you call that? If you said “T. rex,” you’d be correct! Paleontologists have discovered an enormous new species of Tylosaurus, a sea lizard belonging to the mosasaur family. Measuring up to 43 feet long—the size of a humpback whale—this 80-million-year-old apex predator is among the biggest known mosasaurs. https://apple.news/AY5Lz4tMGQUGs2HCMbdghFw

A 22-year-old Auburn graduate allegedly killed by her boyfriend’s father was accidentally shot as he showed off a loaded antique gun, according to a lawsuit filed by her parents. Whitney Robeson — who had just started her dream job as a consultant — was killed as her boyfriend’s 54-year-old dad, Jeffrey Scott Towers, 54, showed her a .22 caliber revolver in the attic of his home in Titusville, Alabama in March. Robeson, a Virginia native, graduated from Auburn University in May 2025 with a degree in interior design. Just weeks before her death, she began her dream job as a trade consultant with Restoration Hardware. “Whether known or unknown to Towers, the firearm being handled was loaded, and as he displayed the weapon to Whitney and his son, a single shot was inadvertently discharged,” claims the lawsuit filed Friday by the dead graduate’s parents. The bullet struck Robeson in the upper left side of her chest, “resulting in devastating injury to her left lung, heart and aorta,” according to the suit. She was rushed to a local hospital where she died from the wounds. Her death has been ruled a homicide, and Towers was charged last week with manslaughter months after the shooting. Robeson’s family sued Towers for negligence and is seeking unspecified damages for her death. Towers should have inspected the gun to make sure it wasn’t loaded before showing it to Robeson, the suit claims. Towers’ attorneys have said “the facts will show that Mr. Towers has no criminal history, has been a productive and upstanding citizen for his entire life, and is not guilty of these charges.” But Robeson’s family shot back through their attorney that “efforts to portray Mr. Towers as ‘innocent’ are not supported by the evidence in this case.”

I liked it when Nick mentioned during the episode four review that as a large human, he would like to be the little spoon occasionally. This was when they fell asleep before the tuna melts. I also loved it when Nick reacted to them saying I love you by saying this is so sweet; I've never been this invested in a relationship in a movie or show before! They are my favorite reaction video to rewatch because they are so attractive and I enjoy their commentary. The empty netters livestream of episode six is another favorite I have watched repeatedly; it is hilarious to see these straight men getting so worked up and emotional.

They were one of many reaction videos I watched. I watched all six videos, including the last two multiple times. Nick is attractive (not as much when he went blonde in the short videos I watched on their channel) and Cory is very good looking. They DID love it.

So Isa Briones is leaving Just In Time earlier than originally planned on May 29th. Because The Pitt is going back to film on June 1st with the intent of getting the new season out in time for Thanksgiving 2026, rather than January 2027. Heated Rivalry was originally scheduled for spring 2026 but when they saw how good it was, they kept moving it up and it wound up coming out the weekend after Thanksgiving so that the last episode was the weekend after Christmas. Jacob Tierney handed in the last episode 48 hours before it aired. They won't start filming until August because he needed a break.
