[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

It's the online talk tonight! The always-entertaining Tom Williamson will tell us what, if anything, skeptics need to know about flags

Whoever signed us up as a homeopath on that quackfinder website, it was very funny but we’ve unsubscribed now because we don’t really want to get occasional emails with strangers’ names and medical conditions.

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Tonight is our talk with @JackMLawrence!

Remember we're at a different venue — the Ape & Apple — and we're on a tighter schedule than usual, so we're going to aim to start as close as possible to 7:30. (I know we say 7:30 every time, but this time we mean it.)

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Our next talk is on the 24th, all about the rise and fall of ivermectin as a supposed treatment for covid. Please come along — we're at a new venue and I want them to think we're popular.

Or, if you don't fancy going out, the @SITP Online talk is also tonight. (The talk will be online after the event so yes, you can do both.)

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Our monthly social is tonight! We're at @PieandAleMcr from 7:30. Come along for a drink and/or some food!

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

and yes i am aware that thursday is not really the weekend and the kings arms is not strictly in manchester so there's no need to point that out

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Funny you should ask! Tonight is our October speaker event — we have @crackedscience talking about combatting misinformation. It's free, so be upstairs at @kingssalford in time for a 7:30 start.

[QED @QEDcon]

Ooh. Hello Manchester!! What are you doing this weekend??

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

QED Eve is usually busy, so please do a lateral flow test before setting off if you can — even if you're not going to QED, lots of us are, so it'd be a really bad time for any of us to catch anything infectious.

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Heads up, our social is starting soon at Pie & Ale.

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Come along tonight! We're at the Briton's Protection from 7:30

Looking forward to speaking at @GMSkeptics in Manchester next week (Thursday 21 July). And kudos to them on the appropriate illustration.

We want to help get people who might not otherwise be able to afford it to @QEDcon this year.
You can find out more, donate, and apply here: https://t.co/ghS0JUu6R3
Spread the word as well if you can please. Thanks!

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

(Obviously we'd like these events to not clash, but venue and speaker availability means that can't always happen. If you want to see both, the online ones stay on Twitch for a couple of weeks after the stream, and most of them are archived on YouTube.)

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Remember! Tonight you have a choice of online or in-person talks. Our in-person events are resuming at @kingssalford with Polyp on his graphic biography of Tom Paine…

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

…and if you'd rather stay online for the time being, Skeptics in the Pub Online are hosting Dr Megan Crawford on how science fails, and how it picks itself back up.

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

If you're not ready for IRL talks yet, the online talks at https://t.co/T98XAikH6r are continuing.

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

We are back in the real-life @kingssalford for our June talk, and we have Polyp returning to tell us about Thomas Paine.

📢ANNOUNCEMENT📢

Unfortunately @ProfFrancesca is unable to join us on Thursday so we will try to reschedule that talk.

Instead @MrMMarsh is here to give his BRAND NEW talk: Inside the White Rose: an anti-vaxx, Covid conspiracy theory ecosystem. This is a talk not to be missed!

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

Robin Ince is in town if anyone has a free evening.

[Manchester Skeptics @GMSkeptics]

After some delays, this is tonight! Come along!

[Skeptics in the Pub @SITP]

Happening TONIGHT at 7pm BST.
You should come conspire with us at https://t.co/E888isWodC
See you there!
