Greetings Webtaculators! The sad thing about vacations is that about two days after you get back from one, it seems like it happened way too long ago and it’s already time for another one. Thanks for nothing honeymoon! Basically all I learned is that I want infinite money and no job so I can travel around Italy eating pasta all day. If anyone knows how to make that a reality, let me know. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Oh Right, Mass Murder Is Now Normal
Why: Because I almost forgot that this happened. I was going to potentially write about how I’m pretty sure that Trump is the first Presidential candidate who received an explicit anti-endorsement from an editorial board of a major newspaper for why he must not be President, or maybe more about the Charlotte Police releasing the video of the killing of Keith Scott. Now, something like this gets buried under all the other terrible things that happened, because 5 people dying at a mall is no longer interesting to us as a nation, or just that there are so many other terrible things that are going on that there is not enough room to remember to print these sorts of things for more than one day. Or I guess Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie splitting up matters more. I don’t know.
