Ep.206 - Poppies & Male Body Dysmorphia
On Ep.206 of WG: The Poppy is back in the UK; should Twitter die? Male body dysmorphia & the monetary power of the US Christian Right.
In a week where:
- Twitter & Meta undergo major employee lay-offs.
- COP27 is underway in Egypt.
- Politicians bark at Just Stop Oil protesters as they continue their campaign.
- Gavin Williamson resigns as Cabinet Office minister over abusive messages.
- The US Midterms go down.
In the 1st of two Life segments: (8:43) Remembrance Sunday dawns upon us, which means the poppy army will be (have already been) out in full force. But is the Poppymania waning?
In Tech: (26:02) It's been around a fortnight since Elon Musk took over Twitter and day-by-day it's looking like Twitter is going down the loo. So should we get off Twitter?
In the 2nd Life segment: (39:12) Male body dysmorphia is one of those things that is rarely talked about unless you're a man suffering (or have suffered) from it. But it turns out it's much more widespread than you think.
Lastly, in Society: (56:36) I hate having to keep an eye on the US as much as I do with the country I reside - but when the US harbour one of the most influential religious sects in the world - we got to continue watching the nutters. 3-4 thousand miles away.
