Bakersfield, CA tops the US charts for the worst air quality in the USA.

Let’s not forget that Bakersfield is also part of one Kevin McCarthy’s congressional seat.

Does the pollution of the region beget the pollution of the individual?

Or is it the other way round?

It can’t be a coincidence.

Crypto getting first hand experience of being part of the ‘unbanked’ community … oh the irony.

How is brand Harry and Meghan faring in the US? News just in: not good

Now the comedian Chris Rock has taken aim at the couple in his new Netflix special, Selective Outrage. He dismissed Meghan’s claims about racism in the royal family, saying: “Some of that shit she went through was not racism”, but “in-law” behaviour. He also joked about how it was odd Meghan seemed surprised by the fact the royal family might harbour archaic views. “It’s the royal family! They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism,” Rock said.

I’ll tell you what’s really boring: the neverending pity-me-please performance the two are foisting upon us. As a staunch anti-royalist I was sympathetic to the couple to begin with – my enemy’s enemy is my friend and all that – but the constant oversharing has jumped the shark. Particularly since it becomes more obvious by the day that their grievances are less to do with systemic inequality and more to do with feeling they didn’t get a big enough slice of the born-with-privilege pie. I mean, come on, you can’t go around complaining about how backwards the royals are while insisting that we plebs refer to you as Duke and Duchess. You want some credibility? Give up your stupid titles.

And this is NOT the frustrating part!
