Ep.197 - Fine, Let's Talk About The Queen
On Ep.197 of WG: "Diverse" cabinet, energy crisis, preservation in the social media age, and The Queen.
In a week where:
- Queen Elizabeth II dies aged 96.
- 7.7 magnitude earthquake hits Papua New Guinea.
- The police watchdog has launched a murder investigation into the death of Chris Kaba.
- Ukraine retook over 1K sqm of territory in the north-eastern Kharkiv region over the weekend.
- Pillar of French New Wave Cinema, Jean-Luc Godard, dies aged 91.
In Politics: (6:05) The new Liz Truss government is underway with what is the most "diverse" cabinet in UK history, maybe European history; but does diversity matter when ideologies are the same?
In Society: (20:22) The energy crisis has been incrementally eased by a recent Gov't cap on energy, but that is merely a stop gap for what should be more action to be taken ahead of the coming winter.
In Tech: (33:03) Something that always concerns me in all forms of the Internet is preservation. What is preserved? What needs to be preserved? And what have we already lost?
Lastly, in Life: (49:51) Not sure if you noticed, but Queen Elizabeth II died last week; and I feel a good old 'zoom out' is in order to tackle this topic.
