Ep.254 - Cruise Ships & Killers Of The Flower Moon

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Sean Combs settles a civil case within 24 hours of being accused of rape and severe physical abuse by former girlfriend Cassie.
2. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is fired only to be then hired by Microsoft.
3. Kool & The Gang drummer George "Funky" Brown dies at 74.
4. Far-Right libertarian Javier Milei wins Argentinian Presidential election.
5. Happy 5th birthday "What's Good?"!

In Environment: (5:35) I was never into the idea of cruise ships when I was younger for a myriad of reasons, but with increasing evidence that cruise ships are THE worst when it comes to the environment - including this story about them not using long-established power sources - it's clear they got to go.

In Tech: (20:57) With Twitter getting worse by the day, it's beginning to show that there's a widening gap in the Social Media/News landscape. So what are the ramifications of a deteriorating news landscape?

In Politics: (37:53) Of all the reasons to hate Politics these days, one huge reason is the lack of empathy and how it only comes into play when it suits politicians.

Lastly, in Film: (49:12) I briefly talked about "Killers of the Flower Moon" a few episodes ago and the likes of Scorsese have since talked about the main issue with the film: A non-Osage, telling an Osage story. So am I being extra?
