…but we do know that hyper-electrosensitivity is not a thing
In TWISH we hear about a Finnish UFO sighting and later Pope Francis get to answer some very tough questions in a new documentary. In the news this week we have:

  • SWEDEN: Five years after saying it won’t retract Macchiarini paper, journal finally does so
  • INTERNATIONAL: So, lab leak theory down the drain?
  • AI: Bing easily tricked to repeat neo-Nazi talking points as if they were facts
  • IRELAND: New research focusing on reducing belief in conspiracy theory
  • SWEDEN: Researchers pessimistic about reaching climate goals

Two German cities go all pseudoscience and switch off their WLAN to “protect the citizens” and for this they are Really Wrong.

Enjoy!
