– and propaganda is for petty dictators

This week we celebrate the news of the return of QED Skepticamp, courtesy the lovely SITP online team. Space is fascinating as demonstrated by the new images from the James Webb telescope. In TWISH we also talk about space and the Apollo – Soyuz Test Project, which launched this week 47 years ago. It made us think that space was out-of-bounds for politics (ah, we were naïve…). Pope Frankie cannot help hinting that he may resign some day while still being busier than ever. Then we take a look at the news:

  • GERMANY: Freilerner group is opening illegal schools
  • SWEDEN / INTERNATIONAL: Conversion therapy promoted by religious global network
  • SPAIN: Research shows that gender identity is not something that you choose
  • UK: Nature’s true value is overlooked
  • UK: Recycling plastic doesn’t work
  • UK: BMJ article issues Vitamin D overdose warning

Germanic New Medicine is both pseudoscientific and antisemitic and for that its practitioners get this week’s Really Wrong Award.

Enjoy!
