…might get you pregnant?

Another record with July being the hottest month ever. It may not matter since AI is here to finish us off before the climate crisis does… But the show must go on and in TWISH we hear about Alexander Fleming who was born this week in 1881, Pope Frankie is in Portugal for his own Woodstock, hoping that no one talks too much about sex. Then it’s time for then news:

  • RUSSIA / GERMANY: ‘Heil Zelenskiy’: Russian actors identified in purported German video against Ukraine aid
  • DENMARK / SWEDEN: Burning holy books: Denmark considers law change
  • UK: Humanists UK releases concerning info on faith schools
  • UK: Sense About Science and UK parliament holds Evidence Week 2023
  • UK: King Charles’ holistic fertility course
  • NETHERLANDS: Ferry on fire
  • INTERNATIONAL: So, will the Gulf Stream collapse?
  • POLAND: PiS party pushes through ‘Russian influence law’ – EU says it can be used to ban political opposition

GB News presenter Neil Oliver gets this week’s Award for being Really Wrong due to his baseless claims about the BBC falsifying heat wave temperatures.

Enjoy!
