This is what Facebook looks like without "news". For months (except for a brief break during Lent), a blog called Catholic Fundamentalism, has outperformed every other third-party link on the platform. It's now technically bigger than the Daily Mail.

This is such a good day!
JUST IN: On the red carpet for #FastX in Rome, Vin Diesel just seemingly confirmed that FAST X is not part one of a two-part finale -- it is part one of a three-part finale! Looks like we're getting a Fast trilogy...
