Ep.182 - British Gymnastics & DALL-E

On Ep.182 of WG: British Gymnastics in hot water, The Athletics says "No politics" for staff, cannabis growing & DALL-E.
In a week where:
  1. British government approves extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the US.
  2. Emmanuel Macron loses parliamentary majority as left-leaning coalition gain.
  3. Gustavo Petro becomes Colombia's first Leftist president. 
  4. Transgender women are banned from elite Swimming competitions. 
  5. Public sector strikes begin this week with more coming.
In the 1st of two Sports segments: (5:43) A report comes out, showing the many horrid ways British Gymnastics as an institution, mistreated young women.

In the 2nd Sports segment: (19:06) The Athletic, now owned by The New York Times, thought it would be a good idea to tell all staff that they can't talk about politics.

In Society: (33:39) The fact that Cannabis hasn't been legalised yet is baffling, but what about growing it? Can the people push things forward by going ahead and growing their own?

Lastly, in Tech: (44:50) DALL-E, the AI that takes a prompt and regurgitates picturesque art, has been the fodder for many a shitposter. But in all seriousness, can it actually trigger a creative revolution?
