Available starting tomorrow is the unauthorized biography of Meghan Markle marrying Prince Harry and seducing him away from the Royal Family. The book is called Finding Freedom.
Podcaster Joe Rogan highlighted how social media filters create body image issues. His pre-teen daughter took an ugly picture of 53-year-old Joe and photo-shopped it to make him appear to be a gorgeous 20-year-old woman.

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden is expected to name this week his running mate, which he said would be a woman. The Los Angeles Times compared the selection to ABC’s The Bachelor where an old man chooses a younger woman for the ultimate fantasy suite – the White House. Many called the editorial “blatantly sexist” and degrading to career public servants. (The Wrap)
