– and get your flu shot, people!
This week the full crew is back and we urge you to take the flu seriously. We recommend a video of a presentation by Germany skeptic Amardeo Sarma about critical thinking, find out how to pronounce ‘that town’ in the Netherlands and feel sad that Robbie ‘Hagrid’ Coltrane passed away. In TWISH we celebrate 100 years with the BBC, and then it’s time for the news:
- RUSSIA: The online guide Russians use to escape Putin’s war
- GERMANY: 75-year-old conspiracy theorist woman planned to kidnap Lauterbach
- SWEDEN: Pontus pokes the politicians – New Government lets Sweden Democrats dictate immigration
- SWEDEN: Study of media use and trust during the COVID-19 pandemic shows consistency of messages is key
- INTERNATIONAL: Survey shows even thought threat is getting worse, concern about climate change is shrinking
- RUSSIA / SWEDEN: Chamber of commerce bombarded with fake Russian mails
To round off, Dutch MP Thierry Baudet gets a Really Wrong Award.
Enjoy!
