– but at least the bees were informed of the death of their queen

We’re back from ESC in Vienna! Thanks to all who came up and said hi to us, that was a blast! This week we reflect on what Charles III, the king of SCAM, may mean for skepticism and what there is to say about the Swedish election results. For TWISH we get to learn about Foucault and his pendulum, a simple but brilliant demonstration of the rotation of the Earth. We leave the poking-of-the-Pope for next week and dig into the news:

  • GERMANY: Prominent figure of New Germanic Medicine Helmut Pilhar dies
  • UK / INTERNATIONAL: Madness around the Queen’s death
  • UK: Celebrity Russel Brand admits spreading falsehoods
  • EUROPE: Europe’s hottest summer on record
  • RUSSIA: Anti-censorship tool lets Russians read Blocked News
  • GERMANY: Study shows behavioral studies got the sampling all wrong
  • FRANCE: Didier Raoult‘s lab under investigation

German party FDP and airlines get the Really Wrong Award for campaigning against masks on planes.

Enjoy!
