Greetings Webtaculators! It’s May! It is a very different month from that previous month we just had, let me tell you. This one has giant murderous hornets! Hooray! (Side note – if you are concerned about being killed by a large bee, but not concerned about getting or spreading COVID-19, please just go away. But don’t go to parks, you’re already ruining it). On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: America’s Worst People
Why: Because these yahoos are doing everything wrong. They don’t care about health, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about America. They only care about themselves, and they represent everything bad with our country. Trump is one of them.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Elon’s Not OK
Why: Because Musk tanked Tesla stocks after tweeting that it’s stock was overvalued, which essentially goes against everything a CEO is supposed to do / say. But who cares! It’s 2020! Do whatever you want! Also, everything is fine.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (long watch)
What: Fuck It, We’re Doing It Live
Why: Because the Supreme Court is live streaming its cases in video format for the first time ever. I for one cannot wait to see all of the Constitutional Law experts’ comments on youtube…

TECH THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: New MacBook
Why: Because I can’t tell if this is a great time for new laptops because everyone is now working from home, or a terrible time because no one is making enough money to buy new technology.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: A Hard Path Forward
Why: Because a judge found that the US Women’s National Team cannot sue for equal compensation due to initially being offered the same contract as the US Men’s team.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. reads)
What: Let’s Get Tactical
