 |  | | | 06.18.2016 | | | MOURNING IN ORLANDO | | |  | (AP Photo/David Goldman) | | | | Americans stood together by the thousands this week, honoring the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in American history. 49 people were killed and 53 wounded in Sunday's mass murder at The Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. ISIS claimed credit for inspiring the self-radicalized shooter, an Afghan American born in Queens, who stormed the club with an assault rifle and handgun. Prior to the attack, the assailant allegedly was a regular at the nightclub. He is also suspected of scouting out places in the Orlando area to attack, including Disney World. The wife of the shooter is now being investigated for her possible role in the atrocity. The somber mood permeates: Check out how numerous states stood in solidarity this week, right here.

Usually, "big tip" stories end with a heart full of love and a pocket full of cash. And that sort of happened to the owners of a restaurant in Colorado, but for less than 24 hours. One patron left the staff a $1,088 tip after dinner, and immediately returned the next morning soberly asking for his money back. The owner was quick on her feet after receiving the huge tip, and held onto the cash in the event that something like that would occur. Talk about the worst "LOLJK" you've ever experienced...

Tuesday evening, 2-year-old Lane Graves was snatched by an alligator while playing in the water at a Disney Resort. The boy was only a few feet in the water and his father tried to pry his kid from the animal but was unsuccessful. Dive teams discovered the body 16 hours later, roughly 15 yards away from where the incident occurred. During the search, at least five alligators were caught and cut upon before they found the killer. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

But if you're going to do so anyway, it might as well be a talking parrot, right? Bud, the African parrot has been heard replaying an argument in distinct male and female voices, as well as restating the phrase, "Don't f---ing shoot." Police found the parrot at the crime scene of what is believed to be a failed murder-suicide that left a man dead in his underwear and his wife hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the head. Leaving the mimicking parrot alive might cost... Trust no one.

Texting will be a whole new experience, giving you the ability to send messages secured with "invisible ink," draw and add images to your pictures and videos, and even convert your words into emojis (and you thought using "lol" was bad). Apple will also be connecting iMessage with other apps so that you'll be able to book reservations and make payments all in one place. For better or for worse, you'll never want to leave your phone again. Read More | | | SMOKEY THE BEER (NO IMAGE) | | | | Golf courses these days have some interesting patrons including... bears? Two golfers in Alaska had an unexpected encounter with a very #thirsty bear during their round. As any self-respecting person would do in this kind of viral situation, they pulled out a phone and began to film it. The bear climbed onto the golf cart while the golfer screamed "No!" and "Get out of here!" Then, it started to lick a beer can in the cup holder which got a different reaction: "Hey, that's my beer, b****!" Eventually the bear wandered away, leaving the golfer with less beer and an internet sensation. Sounds like an even trade, right?

Around 8:30PM, the system was reported to be inoperable throughout the entire city, leaving city officials and verified company accounts with the responsibility of informing the community via Twitter about the issue. What can't social media do these days... Read More | | | IT'S JUST POLITICS | | | | This week was the District of Columbia primary for the Democrats, and Hillary Clinton swept the polls, leaving everyone questioning whether or not Bernie Sanders will be staying in the race. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have been hitting foreign policy, immigration, and guns harder than ever before in the wake of the Orlando attack. During a press conference, President Obama clapped back at the individuals who are upset at his avoidance of the term "radical Islam," and the whole political-sphere seems to have an opinion on the matter. The upcoming conventions are going to be a gigantic platform for each of the nominees to gain traction for their respective campaigns. Stay tuned, because we're just getting started.
