Winner of the $2 billion Powerball jackpot in February has been busy in recent months acquiring real estate properties in California.

The individual who clinched the historic $2 billion Powerball jackpot and came forward to claim the prize in February has been actively diversifying and expanding their real estate holdings over the past few months, according to a report by Fortune. The recipient of the unprecedented $2 billion Powerball jackpot has embarked on a buying spree in the real estate market. Among their recent…

The Daily Mail has helpfully listed all the times Meghan’s rebrands and relaunches have failed.

Archived Link

Here, FEMAIL reveals the Duke and Duchess' projects that, for all the carefully constructed razzmatazz of their launch, have so far come to little.

ARO/Roop:

[L]ittle more has been officially revealed about the brand, with no Instagram posts on the firm's official account since March and the website simply offering fans the chance to join a waitlist. But what exactly are potential customers waiting for? Jam and dog biscuits? A source told The Daily Mail in June that the priority is instead the launch of a rosé wine. It's unclear when exactly American Riviera Orchard products will be available.

Archetypes:

The Duchess, who produced only one series of her podcast Archetypes for Spotify before parting ways with the company, had signed with Lemonada to develop and host a new series. However, a source told Eden that there is not expected to be any work broadcast this year. 'The relaunch of Meghan's Archetypes podcast got pushed back to 2025,' the California-based source says….Lemonada is said to be concerned that there would also be 'scheduling conflicts' between the launch of its podcasts and that of Meghan's lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

40x40:

It was unclear at the time as to exactly how the project would work, or whether there would be any way to measure its success. But according to The Sun, less than 10 months on, there was no follow-up on the campaign and royal expert Angela Levin said she thought the 40x40 project had been 'cancelled'. She said: 'I think it's very quietly gone into the dustbin,' added that it was an idea of the royal's that 'didn't come off'. There also doesn't seem to be any mention of the 40x40 project on the Duke and Duchess' Archewell website.

Spotify:

Last January, [Bill Simmons, Spotify’s head head of podcast innovation and monetization] blasted Prince Harry, saying it was 'embarrassing' to be affiliated with the same company. 'Shoot this guy to the sun,' he said, according to sports website The Big Lead. 'I'm so tired of this guy. What does he bring to the table? He just whines about s*** and keeps giving interviews. Who gives a s***? Who cares about your life? You weren't even the favourite son. You live in f****** Montecito and you just sell documentaries and podcasts and nobody cares what you have to say about anything unless you talk about the royal family and you just complain about them.'

The couple produced less than 13 hours of content during the three-year partnership: 12 episodes of Meghan's Archetypes show, and a 30-minute Christmas special featuring both the Duke and Duchess.

Pearl/Netflix:

Harry and Meghan signed a five-year agreement with Netflix* in 2020 worth an estimated $100million (£80million) but earlier this year there was speculation that their contract renewal was under threat.

The couple's first launch on the streaming giant was their six-part documentary 'Harry and Meghan' which was released in 2022 and caused controversy with its series of swipes at the Royal Family. … But in May, Netflix dropped Meghan's planned animated series Pearl as part of a wave of cutbacks prompted by the streaming service's drop in subscribers. All references to her doomed animation were wiped from her Archewell website after the series was axed by the streaming giant. A prior description of the series under the Archewell Productions subsection was nowhere to be found after it was cancelled.

*There’s been a lot of speculation over the years about their Netflix deal, but this is the first official confirmation in writing (that I’ve been able to find) that it’s a 5-year deal. This supports my theory that the new push for content (Meghan’s lifestyle show, her cooking show, and Harry’s polo documentary) is a final “do or die” effort to be able to renegotiate their contract and renew their deal.

This whole article is really something but the excerpt below stood out to me.

Their relationship has unequivocally enhanced his profile – and his podcast followers.

The show, named New Heights, which he does with his brother Jason, went from 1.5 million when it launched in 2022 to 11.2 million today. Indeed last week, they signed a deal with Amazon worth more than £80million.

Taylor has quickly immersed herself in the world of NFL, the American football league.

She took centre stage at the Superbowl in February and earlier this week, when the organisation released its promotional video for the forthcoming season, ­Taylor was the stand out star of the clip.

On Tuesday, in an interview with US chatshow The Rich Eisen Show, Travis told how Taylor ‘creates plays’ for him, meaning – rather astonishingly – she tells him where to run to once he catches the ball.

One sports expert tells me: ‘Imagine when David and Victoria Beckham were at the beginning of their relationship, she’s a Spice Girl and David is playing for ­Manchester United, and she’s in the Premier League promo video. And then let’s go back and imagine how one of David’s managers would feel if he came out talking about how Victoria was telling him how to do his free kicks, or take his penalties. They would be furious.

‘It is all very odd. It is so strange that they have let a singer be such a big part of the NFL. There has been a suggestion that the league are really happy that Taylor has made the game much more appealing to women.

The thing with Louis' story about being blindsided by the end of the band is that it's total bullshit. He would have to have been completely out of every loop, to have been excluded from meetings at every point, and to be absolutely unobservant to the point of absence, for that to be true.

He just likes the drama. It's a lie that has been crated to facilitate his underdog career. His whole post 1D career is fishing for sympathy, creating this story that he is poor Louis who has overcome all the odds to have success, the power of the dream and all that guff.

In reality, we know the end of the band was discussed in late 2014 (Harry said this). We know future contracts were being discussed (as per Zayn) and that was before Zayn left, so between late 2014 and March 2015 when he left. We know they announced the hiatus in August 2015.

What Louis is suggesting is a reality where Harry said in 2014 'let's have a hiatus' and nobody wanted it so they carried on, Zayn left, they carried on until August when it was announced, and in all that time they never spoke of it again till the decision was made before August. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? Ten months of everyone avoiding the subject! Even when Zayn left! It is ludicrous that anyone would believe that. It's ludicrous that he even tries to peddle that myth.

They were by this point young men, four to four-and-a-half years into their careers, they were aware that their sales were falling, their tour sales were no longer great, and they themselves were not rubbing along as well as they had done. Louis might have objected but he had everything to lose. One Direction was an absolute gravy train for him, the talentless non-artist of the band (and the bar was quite low to be honest). However you don't have to be a genius to work out that he's talking shit, because if he really was so unaware then why is that? Was he in a coma? No. Was he not talking to the others? No. Was he absent from the many meetings there would have been to tie things up? Doubtful. He is just a fraud.

It was also no secret that in June 2016, Harry signed an $80m deal with Columbia for three albums. Articles like the one linked below made the situation crystal clear.

If Louis had any sense, he'd have realised Harry was going to be tied up making those albums for at least the next five years, yet Louis carried on lying to fans that the hiatus would only be for 18 months-two years.

I paid for Starlee Kine's patreon to make a new podcast (and you should too!) because she is creator of the best podcasts I've ever listened to, but also because the theme song for her pitch is called "Dax Shepard got $80million" and fuck him.

CURLY HAIR AND BODY TYPES IN POKEMON GO FINALLY 2.5BILLION HEALED 80MILLION REVIVED

[istherewifiinhell]

okayyyy also. tagged by @joelletwo for 5 topics i could talk about for an hour with no prep.

now. two things. 1. i have infernal podcast dude energy and could say a lot about nothing. weird trait to have if u dont like talking to people? hard to say. 2. GESTURES AT BLOG. im ALREADY. talking at length abt my beloved shit. so im just ruling out turtles, alien robots, trek, etcetcetc all the shit thats been a main blog topic for the last past. 4 years?

I'm gonna say.... western voice actors? not that i could really. Give a lecture so much as. I'm way more familiar with them that than I am live action actors. And I'm kinda just CONSTANTLY like. Oh you know so and so from every cartoon youve ever fucking seen? And FEEL a real. gap. with people when they dont have a same reference point. probably like how ppl feel with me when i dont know their acting guys jhadbgjfga. Like u can name 5 VAs from ur childhood cartoons/animated movies right? And personal interest like, hey btw u know like the entire cast of tng was in disneys gargoyles? U know keith david can SING? And diego luna? Hey you know about Canadian actors who are in all the dubs and video games and yeah cheap shit? You know Scott McNeil right? You know Ian James Corlett? You know. THE IAN. of being Ian. Hello. is this thing still on?

I really like and care about the topics of education, children's rights and pedagogy? Not academically so much as, personal interest. What seeing very clearly that there was a lot of arbitrary rules that involved things like. The Government. and Systems. as a child does to a motherfucker I guess? I'm always INTERESTED in a discussion about it, is how i mean I guess. Like focuses of multiple intelligence and "applied knowledge" (and short comings there of). I mean long and short of it. Kids are full human beings and until u can grapple with that their feelings and opinions um. Actually matter. I hate you? jdhbgjhdb. And Naturally the world being good for kids has the prerequisite of it not sucking ass for adults too....

UHhhh guh. User design/civil engineering? You'll hear it from me until the day I die, crushed under the tires of a ford f1 giga truck with the LED 20million watt bulbs. PROTECTED BIKE LANES. for the love of god. I just know a lot of designers I guess and like engineering, conceptually. But like, u know that famous bridge everyone crashes into. If theres 80million warning signs and people are still crashing... maybe theres. other factors. Or you know ofc like, traffic planning, vehicle accidents, structural disasters. A lot of them are not just. Things happening. Tragedies. There's politics there. Usually a lot of Money stuff. and structural racism. The real reason your fridge is full is that there's a bunch of half empty condiment jars hiding all your forgotten left overs. And widening the roads isnt gonna do shit for traffic.

Jackass entry: Themes and motifs of anyyytthing ive watched with another person or saw, and like they also know it. I realllly like, visual theming and narrative shorthands. Anything that breaks like, maybe people in this setting dont have the same customs, but their gonna do something so you the audience can recognize it. Non literal/accurate use of colour and lighting, for mood and clarity. Breaking the physical shape and scale of things so they can appear and be readable on screen. COSTUMING COSTUMING COSTUMING. A well styled character can do soooo much for your understanding of a work, especially with large casts, and a poorly styled one can take me right out. Well. anyway. yes i love animation u all knew that.

uhhhhh Thatgamecompany/giantsquids studio. im giving myself a free space. lol technically I DO. blog about this. the music. at least. BUT beloved. games. Me and everyone else I guess. Hey speaking of u know its laura bailey and troy baker as the voices in the pathless? And you know how a lot of the games have themes of coming into being/growing/rebirth. And LOTS of environmentalism. And implied cultural world building, and wordless stories. and beautiful metaphor rich otherworldly visuals. and gameplay styles that really connect with the emotional story their going for. and ofc, the music. oh the leit motifs. well. there u go. sword of the sea when?

tagginggg. uh did anyone get @deadgrantaires or @army-of-bee-assassins yet? anyone elseeee who wants to regale me with things they knowww about. id love to know.

“The heart Contracts As The Pocket Expands” – C.N.Bovee

Successive Tory governments have been mired in  sleaze over  the last 14 years.

From David Cameron to Rishi Sunak, accusation after accusation of sleaze and corruption have made headline news.

“David Cameron was sucked into a sleaze row last night over a decision to axe an £80million loan to an engineering firm following lobbying by a major Tory donor." (MailOnline: 23/07/2010)

“Theresa May accused of cover-up over child abuse inquiry concerns.” (Independent:19/10/2016)

“The David Cameron scandal: just how sleazy is British politics?”  (Financial Times: 16/04/21)

“Boris Johnson’s government is mired in corruption scandals, but do Britons care?”  WWW.france24.com: 07/11/21)

“Liz Truss facing first sleaze investigation over ‘murky donations’ (Independent:04/08/22)

“Rishi Sunak Is Being Investigated By Parliament's Sleaze Watchdog"  (HUFFPOST: 17/04/23)

Not a single Tory Prime Minister of this country has escaped the taint of corruption and sleaze since 2010. That is over a decade of suspicion and conjecture about Tory MPs and prime ministers either lining their own pockets   or covering up for others.

One of the main reasons the Tories lost the election so dramatically was because people had had enough of this  self-serving, double-dealing immorality.

How refreshing therefore to have Sir Kier Starmer as our new Prime Minister. He may be boring, he may be vague when it comes to policy, but at least he is honest.- or so we were led to believe.

Eight weeks into the job and it turns out Starmer is no better than the rest of them. It turns out he is just another Prime Minister embroiled in accusations of sleaze and corruption.

First, his biggest personal donor was given a a rare Downing Street security pass. Labour peer Lord Alli is said to have paid thousands of pounds for Starmer’s suits and spectacles while giving more than £5000,000 in donations to the Labour Party.

This led the MailOnline to carry the headline:

“Sir Keir Starmer locked in 'passes for glasses' sleaze row! Labour leader is accused of cronyism that is 'rotting politics to its core' after millionaire TV mogul given 'unrestricted' access to Downing Street.” (26/08/24)

As if that scandal wasn’t bad enough it now turns out that Lord Alli was also buying designer clothes and glasses for Starmer’s wife. Although such “gifts” are meant to be declared in the register of MP’s interests Starmer forgot to do so. In short he is already in breach of the very rules he accused the Tories of breaking.

David Lammy made this pathetic excuse for Starmer:

“The truth is that successive prime ministers, unless you’re a billionaire like the last one, do rely on donations, political donations, so they can look their best, both in the hope of representing the country, if you’re in the opposition, or indeed as prime minister.” (Financial Times: 15/09/24)

I thought Keir Starmer was a professional politician. Even a blind person could see that accepting tens of thousands of pounds worth of clothing for yourself and your wife is not a good look when axing the £300 winter fuel allowance to tens of thousands of pensioners.

According to a Financial Times investigation Starmer has received £76,000 worth of “freebies”  - from clothing to concert tickets- since the 2019 general election, “more than almost any other MP”.

Nothing ever changes it seems.

it's weird how anytime any big news related to eastern europe pops out it's like chalk full of ppl w open nazi ties wearing nazi paraphernalia and they'll have to make a statement like "oh it's not nazis they just like the ideas of this nazi group so they are wearing the patch proudly, but this specific guy is not in a nazi org so he's not a nazi stop spreading propaganda" and then jewish ppl and communists will be like "what the hell, these are nazis" and everyone in the global north will start pushing history revisionism about how eastern europe is not full of nazis because they killed jewish bolsheviks not the innocent jews they were just "combatting communism" when... same fucking thing. and then start harassing jewish, black and chinese people about not caring enough about eastern european countries when they still haven't done anything about the nazi problem or they'll start just like supporting nazis or they'll be like "this is why i shouldn't have to care about being anti-black, racism is so american" or they'll be like "you stinky chinese authoritarian aliens have a duty to pay attention" like literal clockwork... like literally so frequently since america and nato have propelled their aggression to war. war only matters when white ppl are invloved but when it's brown and black ppl, g7 nations get to break the geneva convention 80million times w out repercussions.
