Hello fellow web crawlers! Andrew here. Welcome to today's edition of web_crawlr.
Happy 4th of July! Our top stories today are about: Five of the most bonkers viral breakup horror stories, why liberals want President Biden to jump all over the immunity the Supreme Court just granted Trump, a nurse pointing out that Sabrina Carpenter's new hit can be used to administer CPR, and a look at the classic "graphic design is my passion" meme.
After that, our Senior Politics and Technology Editor David has a "Deplatformed" column for you.
See you tomorrow!

Here are five of the craziest breakups posted online that we’ve seen in a while.
Liberals are calling on President Joe Biden to send the Navy SEALs after former President Donald Trump following the Supreme Court’s decision on the ex-president’s immunity case.
A post on TikTok has revealed the health benefits of Sabrina Carpenter’s hit.
“Graphic design is my passion” is an expression that gained fame on Tumblr as users put together crudely photoshopped memes with clipart. Over time, the phrase has become one of the most used in online spaces.

Nothing stirs up FOMO like being the only non-meater at the BBQ. While everyone is chowing down on burgers and dogs, you’re left assembling a plate of sides and condiments.

Here is what else is happening across the 'net.
???? This woman recently shared what is perhaps the ultimate hack for people who like airport pickup duty.
???? An Outback Steakhouse customer sparked backlash after criticizing the restaurant’s 6-ounce sirloin. She thought she stumbled on another example of restaurant “shrinkflation” but her viewers aren’t so convinced.
???? Viewers of this viral video are defending Buffalo Wild Wings customers for not tipping their server. Here’s why.
???? A man traveling through Ohio thought he’d stop at a Fairfield Inn by Marriott to get a roll of toilet paper. While he documented he was successful in his endeavor, not everyone applauded his initiative.
???? In an age where everything is disposable, it’s unsurprising that crucial components of a car aren’t necessarily made to last.
