Hey Blurtstars
Has it been a week already? As always, lots happening across the globe. Tonight, we will blurt about some of the important news going around.
In Let's Get Technical, Wencee will talk about the latest Apple reality headset that was announced today. The Kegsta will talk about EVs (electric vehicles) charging in 5 mins.
Then we turn to America in our segment we like to call, Party In The USA. Wencee will talk about the Hollywood actors and the Screen Actors Guild going on strike. And the Kegsta will talk about the debt ceiling being lifted.
And to round out the show on Nature Calls, Kegsta will chat about Ningaloo. And Wencee will ask if humans will ever understand how animals think.
Tune in and find out on https://www.youtube.com/@thenewblurt7773, with Wencee and the Kegsta.

Word of the week
Some examples of anthropocentrism include the belief that humans are the only beings with souls, that animals exist solely for human use, and that nature is only valuable insofar as it serves human interests. Another example is the idea that humans have the right to exploit natural resources without regard for the long-term consequences.
