We’re back home after QED and boy was it great! Last one, we know, but next year will see the European Skeptics Congress in Liverpool and it will largely be following the template of QED. Save the dates, 16-18 October 2026!

We note the lessons learned from hurricane Melissa and in TWISH we hear about two milestones of European history, the ECDC and the European Convention om Human Rights. Then, we catch up on the news:

UK: The Ockham awards for 2025
AUSTRIA: The Golden Board for 2025
SWEDEN: Populistic repatriation support meets local pushback
ITALY: Senate hosts presentation of bogus device
GERMANY: Student at the Free University of Berlin develops useful tool for spotting fake references
HUNGARY: Over a hundred political ads financed by Orbán’s Digital Citizen Circles slip through Facebooks filters

In Finland the nonsense of DISC personality tests are inexplicably popular and the company MLP gets the Really Wrong Award for promoting it, while philosopher of science Inkeri Koskinen gets the Really Right Award for speaking up about it.

Enjoy!
