A a drunken brawl broke out during Ladies’ Day of Royal Ascot, and Rebecca Evans from The Daily Mail is not happy about it.

For 300 years, it has been the highlight of the summer calendar for the well-off and well-connected.

But these days, it seems, the enclosures and stands of Royal Ascot are becoming increasingly popular with a much less distinguished breed of racegoer.

Why does one bit of embarrassing fluff breeze to the top of the charts while a thousand other bits of embarrassing fluff sink into blessed obscurity?

Hasan Minhaj imagines what Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day” would be like if it was “fast forwarded 18 years later and set in a modern-day start-up.” A lot better than I thought it would be.
