It’s time for the last Poking of Francis but before we get into that and the other news, we go to TWISH to hear about this week’s birthday boy, Guglielmo Marconi, the pioneer of radio transmissions and his wireless telegraph system.

The news list contains the following:

• INTERNATIONAL: Medical cannabis shows potential to fight cancer, largest-ever study finds – or does it…?
• HUNGARY: Antivaxx nutjob gets Flat Earth Award
• VATICAN: So Frankie died… one last chance to poke the pope (at least this one)
• EUROPE: RFK Jr having a devastating effect on Europe’s vaccine acceptance

The Dutch ultra-Christian Civitas Christiania foundation gets this week’s Really Wrong Award for taking their bigoted anti-LGBTQ stance to unacceptable levels.

Enjoy!
