Hello from our galaxy brain!\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

This week, we begin with a brief chat about (social) media \\u201ccancel culture,\\u201d based on an open letter recently published in Harper\\u2019s. We then discuss a workplace controversy at the Boba Guys chain; the suicide of the mayor of Seoul, Park Won-soon, and what his death means in the context of South Korean feminism, per Tammy\\u2019s reporting; and a telling exchange about the NBA\\u2019s rules of wokeness between Republican US Senator Josh Hawley and ESPN NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski.

7:29 \\u2013 Why did the owners of Boba Guys go all out on \\u201cBlack Lives Matter\\u201d while mistreating Black and Latinx employees, and what does their conduct reveal about Asian-American food culture?\\xa0

31:00 \\u2013 Why have so many high-profile South Korean men escaped accountability for gender-based misconduct and violence? What are the contours of Korea\\u2019s #MeToo movement?

56:19 \\u2013 Is it right for the NBA to host games in Orlando during the pandemic? Should we support \\u201cFree Woj\\u201d or does the other side have a point about league-sanctioned political slogans? Is it good when radical politics become safe enough to adopt by profit-driven corporations? (also Jay tries to remember what the CLS kritik said.)
