Ep.186 - Smoking That Boris Pack
On Ep.186 of WG: Boris on his way out, trans lives, NBA player empowerment & climate crisis not killing people as much.
In a week where:
- Actor James Caan dies aged 82.
- Former PM of Japan Shinzo Abe is assassinated.
- Elon Musk withdraws from $44 Billion bid to buy Twitter. Twitter responds by suing him.
- Sri Lankans storm presidential residence and burn the Prime Minister's residence.
- First images from the James Webb Space Telescope are released.
In Politics: (6:56) Boris Johnson is officially DONE as PM, but we might still be stuck with his for another eight weeks. So until he's gone, we're smoking that Johnson PACK... And reading an article about his archetype in politics.
In Society: (19:23) Trans pride went down last weekend to practically no coverage, trans rights are being targeted in the leadership elections. It's clear that cis people need to show active support.
In Sports: (40:18) If you have followed the NBA in the past decade, you've noticed a shift where players have gained collective power. But has the "player empowerment era" been good for everyone?
Lastly, in Climate: (53:23) The climate crisis is getting worse by the day, but it's killing fewer people than anticipated? Did I read this right? How? Oh right, wealth.
