10 Mind-Blowing Things That Happened This Week (11/2/18) Keeping up with the news is hard. So hard, in fact, that we’ve decided to save you the hassle by rounding up the most significant, unusual, or just plain old mind-blowing stories each week. This was a week in which hate seemed to go horribly mainstream in American society. It began with the arrest of the suspected mail bomber who had targeted top Democrats last week and progressed to what has been called the worst anti-Semitic attack in US history. We’ll be covering both awful stories alongside more depressing news from the rest of the world, including a horrific air crash in Asia and the confession of one of Europe’s worst-ever serial killers. Strap yourselves in for an unhappy ride.
