The Duke of Sussex accused the mainstream media of amplifying the phrase, which ran in news outlets on both sides of the Atlantic, after the couple announced their decision to “step back” from royal duties on January 8, 2020. The word was inspired by Brexit, which itself is shorthand for Britain’s exit from the European Union. Harry told Re:Wired: “The term ‘Megxit’ was or is a misogynistic term and it was created by a troll, amplified by royal correspondents, and it grew and grew and grew onto mainstream media but it began with a troll....

Thenews was announced on Wednesday that the Earthshot Prize, which was founded by William in 2019 with the Royal Foundation, had selected the city to host the second awards ceremony which follows the BAFTA-winning inaugural ceremony held in London in 2021.

A report from Bloomberg claims that Ubisoft is drawing what it describes as “buyout interest” from multiple different sources. These sources are quite a surprise, however, as they’re private equity firms rather than established organizations within the video game industry like PlayStation and Xbox. The two firms mentioned by name are Blackstone Inc. and KKR & Co. No potential buyout is said to be near completion, but it’s possible that could change in the relatively near future....

Across the country, from the Great Lakes to the shores of Southern California, the highways, roads, tunnels and parking garages that were built at public expense and for public benefit are being sold or leased to corporations. And in a related development, states with little cash but a big need for new infrastructure are partnering with private investors who are eager to ribbon states with toll roads. What’s driving this is supply and demand, or rather demand and supply....

The Paarl Royals come into the game on the back of a fine win over Durban’s Super Giants. The likes of Evan Jones and Wihan Lubbe have been brilliant of late, impressing with the ball and bat, respectively, for the Royals. However, they come up against a talented Sunrisers side who are finding some form in SA20. Led by Aiden Markram, the Sunrisers have a decent unit with a good mix of youth and experience....

Linemen on both teams looked like teenagers slowly swaying at a junior high dance as there was no real pass rush. The only player who seemed to get dirty was New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who took a knee two times in a row to seal the AFC’s, 41-35, win. The only penalty flag in the first half wasn’t for an accidental hit, but a false start. The only tackling in the game seemed to be at halftime, where Raiders punter A....

After finishing the season 1 of Pro Kabaddi at the very bottom, Puneri Paltan promised a plenty in the buildup to the league’s second edition. But, little has changed for the Pune outfit.

Post the game, the Pirates coach, Ram Mehar Singh spoke about an opponent that they could possibly face in the coming week....

The Bulls were certainly not prepared for such a predicament. On Wednesday, when the southern franchise was hammered by the perpetual strugglers Dabang Delhi 38-30 in the Inter Zonal Challenge contest, questions definitely swirled in everyone’s minds if that experience had left a scar on the players’ morale, especially when they were leading 18-12 at the end of the first half. But captain Rohit Kumar was candid and honest in the post-match media interaction....

Delaney was campaigning in Altoona, Iowa, on Wednesday when he was asked by reporters if he thought a recession was likely.
