Some days I just feel absolutely terrible for you Americans.

This time it's a bunch of douchebags - Trump included - blaming acts of mass violence on violence in video games despite proof that says that's BS. It's happened several times in the past, and is happening now again. Jim Sterling says it all.

So it is Labor Day holiday coming up and I live south of Orlando … perfect time to take some vacation time. So of course, we are supposed to get a bit of rain https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/hur ... =bluebar #-o

I think quite a few you of you were Mythbusters fans. I'm sad to report that Jesse Combs died in a crash. She was trying to beat her previous record for fastest land speed.
