… also, Orgone energy is utter nonsense
Fancy a coffee in Singapore with András? If you are quick you may get lucky! In TWISH this week we hear about Wilhelm Reich, infamous for his so-called “orgone theory“. No pope today, so we dive right into the news:
- INTERNATIONAL: New DNA find points to raccoon dogs as potential covid origin
- NORWAY: Norwegian footballer gets her lung acu-punctured
- GERMANY: Private TV channel tries to produce a show with an antisemitic Covid denier and fails
- SWEDEN: Confounderer of the year awarded €9000 compensation for being exposed in documentary
- GERMANY: Trust in homeopathy is sinking
- SWEDEN: Sales of organic food dropping fast
To finish off, we hand out a Really Wrong Award to Bishop John Sherrington who insists he has a right to harrass people at abortion clinics.
Enjoy!
