In the spirit of noteworthy news, I’d say what we learned is that Brian grew up with a cheap tea kettle.
I need to know why there was a tea kettle in the basement.

He lived there...
Hence the moniker "Basementboy".

Prince Harry is writing a book about his life and how he was mistreated while growing up in Buckingham Palace! I can already see some tear-jerking paragraphs: "William was allowed to ride the awarded brown pony for a whole hour, while I could only ride it for 45 minutes! And they always combed pony's mane before William rode it, but I always had to ride it with an uncombed mane! And no wonder that everyone would praise how William looked dashing on the horse, with its mane waving on the wind, while nobody looked at me on a horse with a tangled mane!"
And "The butler would bend over to serve William by turning his bottom toward me and farting into my face! When I tried to protest, my dad, Prince Charles, would tell me to calm down, but what does he know?! He never got a fart into his face, none of them did because they are all contenders to the throne, except for me! I was always a spare tire, an appendix, a COMMONER that they couldn't wait to get rid of!"
and "Whenever we raced in the pool, all of the servants would always cheer for William and give him bubbly champagne when he got out while mine never had bubbles!"
"Whenever we went fox hunting, the staff would always praise how William has such a good aim that his foxes always died instantly without any pain, but then they would cringe at my dead foxes and nag me around how I tortured them by shooting them into the stomach!"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Don’t forget the heartbreaking incident when one of the Royal polo ponies injured itself while trampling a servant to death.

Tom Barrack charged with illegally lobbying then-President Trump on behalf of UAE
Quote:Thomas Barrack, a private equity investor who is a close friend of former President Donald Trump, was arrested Tuesday morning in Los Angeles on federal charges of illegally lobbying Trump on behalf of the United Arab Emirates.
Barrack, who was charged with two other men in a seven-count indictment in Brooklyn, New York, federal court, was chairman of Trump’s 2017 inaugural fund.
The Santa Monica, California, resident is accused with the other defendants of secretly advancing the interests of the UAE at the direction of senior officials of that country by influencing the foreign policy positions of Trump’s 2016 campaign, and then the foreign policy positions of the U.S. government during Trump’s presidency through April 2018.
Barrack, who never registered with the American government as an agent for the UAE, also is charged with obstruction of justice and making multiple false statements during a June 2019 interview with federal law enforcement agents.
