#175: Wasabi, Australia Club, Cruella Bang On
-
- Society & Culture
Wow it’s been a week aye! A man was swallowed by a whale AND did a Reddit AMA about it. Then the Westminster Dog Show is back and Wasabi the Pekingese is not the only winner.
Meanwhile Batman apparently doesn’t go downtown. We have questions.
An old boys club wants to keep it that way; should the Australia Club and other networking organisations be able to discriminate against half the population?
Speaking of women who have broken through, Julie Bishop has been immortalised as a Barbie, while butts are literally breaking through a new pair of Savage Fenty leggings.
And a brilliant editorial video on the day Facebook ruined the internet has us thinking back to the Geocities era.
Screen time is up this week too, as we bang on about Stan series Eden, and head to the cinema for Cruella.
