British Royal couple Prince Harry and Princess Meghan Markle triggered widespread outrage recently after lecturing the world about climate change while flying around the world in private jets.
"With nearly 7.7 billion people inhabiting this Earth, every choice, every footprint, every action makes a difference," the Duke of Sussex said on Instagram a few days before jetting off with the Duchess to Ibiza, Spain and then to Nice, France.
BBC calculates that those two flights alone produced six times more emissions than the average Briton does each year and over 100 times more than the average resident of the African nation of Lesotho.

Well, we definitely need to use Lesotho as the standard for measuring carbon footprints. WIth its $3,868 per capita annual GDP, it's right at that caveman lifestyle to which the environmentalists want us to return.

It's a convenient unit of measurement. ;) I'm about two Lesothos today. Fits in there with x Rhode Islands to the hogshead and such.
Interesting question...

Regarding AOC: a) I thought he resigned because he's in deep doo-doo with the FEC, b) yes, he was the brains behind AOC.

Everyone likes a short animated film, right?
Even if it's strange and unsettling and packed with symbolism. And Canadian.

Yeah, I know, I'm reposting, but only because I think it's cool.

Another short animation, this time for the upcoming Matrix 4.
That's right, the Wachowskis somehow got another movie deal.
I'm sure it'll be just fine.

A lot the Sinatra generation stuff was pathetic, but so was what came next. You might find this endearing.
