A complete timeline of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship

Shortly after he turned up to the Eras Tour with a friendship bracelet and a dream, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce began dating Taylor Swift.

Kelce, 36, laid the groundwork in the summer of 2023. He made his feelings known for Swift, 36, after she performed on his team's home turf in Missouri. Soon, all the dominoes cascaded in a line: Swift began attending NFL games, openly cheering for the Chiefs, and stepping out with Kelce for date nights in New York City.

Everyone wants to buy the dip, until the dip arrives. Case in point: Rivian.

Over the weekend, I wrote an article highlighting the new Rivian R2 — a mid-sized ESUV (electric sports utility vehicle…did I just make up that acronym?) that I believe is poised to upend the sweet spot of the U.S. auto market. Perhaps you read the article, or perhaps you saw one of a couple of videos where I discussed the car, the company and the "Holly Index" - my wife ordered one, one of her colleagues ordered one, even my mother is thinking about ordering one.

More cash discounts are applying to leased vehicles in July.

This month, we're mainly focused on the small: compact sedans, trucks, hatchbacks, and crossovers. It's no surprise their prices are the smallest, and with monthly payments soaring, why go bigger unless you have to? Have a look below and also check out July's best finance deals.

While the Asus ProArt Mouse MD301 has a lot to recommend it for, it's got enough hang-ups to make me pause. The chassis design is rather lovely, the two scroll wheels feel great, and the swappable switches are an interesting extra bonus. But connection issues, some awkward software, and the occasional comfort quirk means it's not quite the professional go-getter mouse for me.

Tiny 60,000-neuron ant brains reveal how parental care evolved from feeding circuits

Researchers may have discovered how parenting behavior evolved in ants

Long before the dawn of modern parenting, animals laid eggs and moved on, leaving their progeny to fend for themselves. Now, a study published in Nature uncovers one of the elegant ways evolution transformed neglect into nurture. Working with clonal raider ants, a surprisingly parental insect, researchers found that rather than evolving entirely new brain circuits for caregiving, evolution repurposed ancient neural systems for regulating hunger into triggers for social behaviors.
