TheESP – Ep. #549 – It's 'Else-uh-fier'!

For over a decade we have mispronounced a certain publisher’s name (duh!) but it’s never too late to learn… The Swedish election results are more or less in, and hopefully it’s a sign of reason that the party spreading the most disinformation lost almost 15% of their seats in parliament. In TWISH we hear the mesmerizing story about Jean Sylvain Bailly who was a French astronomer, mathematician, freemason, and political leader of the early part of the French Revolution. Then we turn to the news: SWEDEN: Measles outbreak AUSTRIA: Michael Frass gets his retracted article re-published INTERNATIONAL: New site has started to measure imbalance in media We then have a Who’s Quacking? from AfD in Germany and hand out a Really Wrong Award to the UK parliament.
