The most important news of last week was, of course, that The Good Place writer, and Twitter master, Megan Amram got one step closer to her dream of winning an Emmy. It was that or the massive protests against President Donald Trump when he arrived in the UK, complete with the massive Trump Baby balloon which will surely go so viral that everyone will be sick of it within a week. What else would we talk about? England losing its World Cup semi-final? Twitter's bot purge? That would be ludicrous. Instead, come with me now, dear reader. It's time to explore what the blinkin' heck everyone's been yapping their digital gums about over the past seven days.

The New Supreme (Court Nominee): Revealed

What Happened: As promised, the next nominee for the US Supreme Court was named live on television, and the internet got into its feelings about the choice.

What Really Happened: Longtime readers may or may not recall that, as last week started, the US was anxiously awaiting the announcement of President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court. Because it’s this particular president, it was announced that he'd reveal the name live on television on Monday evening in prime time. But, as with all great TV reveals, this one was spoiled online ahead of time.

If that rattled President Trump, he didn’t let it show when it came to the actual announcement, which seemed to go as planned.

So, yes! The selection was Brett Kavanaugh, launching a plethora of explainers about who he is. Given that conservatives were pushing against his selection, some were wondering why the president selected Kavanaugh in the end.

Well, OK, sure, but maybe it wasn’t really about th—

Well, that makes sense. Of course, there’s also the impact he could have on Roe v. Wade (Spoilers: It doesn’t look good), which is what many are concerned about.

But, really, what do we know about Kavanaugh? Apparently, he's a great carpool dad and his former teacher likes him, but where's the interesting stuff?

Go on…

If this is the kind of thing that comes out in the first week after Kavanaugh was named, we can only imagine what kinds of things are lying in wait.
