Speedrunner Professor Palmer has beaten the Early Access version Baldur’s Gate 3 in just seven minutes, without engaging in a single round of combat.

At face value, the terms “The American Dream” and “Son of a Plumber” seem to point to those who started at the bottom and worked their way up to achieve their goals. But, that also lacks some context that Dwayne Johnson and his production assistant point out. Let’s break down what we’re being shown here.
Gal Gadot defended her celebrity-filled video covering John Lennon’s “Imagine,” which was intended to deliver an inspiring message at the onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

It kind of sucks (for him), but after Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian, Giancarlo Esposito will probably forever be typecast as a villain. But he’s just so good at it. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s his almost stoic demeanor, or the way he can turn a smile into the most menacing glower

She’s got a point. The cast and crew of Dear Evan Hansen have likely all been isolated for the past months, unable to work in the process. So returning to a set, even with new health precautions, is likely very energizing. Kaitlyn Dever certainly seems to think so, and it’ll be interesting to see how
