OK, so we all know the biggest news in the world yesterday involved the addition of some cartoon faces to a website designed to make you argue with strangers. But other stuff occurred, as well:
Florida governor and full-time Montgomery Burns LARPer Rick Scott signed a law banning backyard gun ranges in densely populated areas.
