Welcome back, faithful reader. After a week off to handle Comic-Con International, While You Were Offline is back—and we have a lot to discuss. For one, President Trump's tweets are once again in the news, this time sparking discussion about whether or not they could be labeled racist. In other news, leaked text messages and subsequent protests forced the governor of Puerto Rico to resign, the Department of Justice reinstated the death penalty after 16 years, Europe hit record high temperatures, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg performed a mic-drop.

But what else have people been talking about on the internet the last seven days? Let’s find out together, shall we?

Trending Topics: #NoToBoris, #NotMyPM

What Happened: Congratulations, United Kingdom: You have a new prime minister.

What Really Happened: After the resignation of Teresa May back in May, the United Kingdom has swapped the nightmare of the ongoing Brexit saga for the nightmare of the contest to win the leadership of the Conservative Party, and therefore become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom. Last week, after what seemed like endless campaigning and disarray, the results of the contest were announced.

Yes, former journalist and former Mayor of London, Boris Johnson was the winner. Indeed, Johnson won the race by a significant margin.

For those wondering how this all works: The British electoral system means that, when the current prime minister steps down, the party in power remains in power, and holds an internal election to vote for a new leader; that leader, elected by the party members, then becomes the new prime minister. It's … somewhat democratic, but only somewhat. Anyway, Johnson was happy enough with the outcome:

May offered her congratulations on Twitter.

Leaders and prominent figures from other parties in the UK really didn’t share her sentiment.

But what about the people Johnson was going to represent? What did they think? Not much, apparently.

Multiple hashtags popped up in response to the news, with #NoToBoris and #NotMyPM being the most popular way of expressing outrage.

Well, surely Johnson addressed all of this in his first speech after his win, and didn’t waste any time...

Never mind, then. The next day, Johnson met with the Queen and officially became the new British PM:

In what might be a sign of things to come, Johnson broke protocol by talking about what was said during the conversation immediately afterwards; tradition and royal rules dictate that whatever is said is supposed to remain a secret. Nonetheless, Twitter was ready to memorialize the occasion.

Before too long, Prime Minister Johnson was in front of No. 10 Downing Street, addressing the UK as its leader for the first time. Or trying to.

So what was he saying?

No, but really. What did he say?

Well, that sounds like … a plan, I guess? (Opinions about the speech were split in the UK, seemingly based upon party affiliations.) We'll see just how long Johnson manages to remain in power, given the problems of the upcoming Brexit in just a few months' time…
