There’s both good news and… better(?) news this morning, depending on your view. The USWNT did not advance at the Women’s World Cup for the first time in a long time. On the other hand, Kim Jong Un scored an impressive 100% electoral victory in his campaign for Dear Leader. You should write that down.

The great Plastic Straw ban may or may not have been successful, once again, depending on your point of view and what you actually think that it was trying to accomplish. You should also write that down.

The Chinese biolab making COVID in Reedly, CA turns out to have scored a really great tax incentive deal from the State of California. Now wonder they didn’t wan that written down!

And in the world of pop culture, Denise Richards has the Rabbi and the Good Friar considering taking up yoga.

All that and more on a busy episode of What the Frock?
