loving this new tiktok trend of 14 year olds thinking 1998 was actually the 1800s
Obviously boycott Eurovision, but glad to read elsewhere it’s descended into chaos.
Netherlands suspended from rehearsals, organisers panicking, audience booing drowning out the singer from Israel, Italian singer apparently singing ‘imagine’ outside the venue in true cringe fashion.
I have not been watching, and I won't tonight if not to make sure I can retweet information about Gaza and Palestine using the tag, I won't be voting, but I have seen the chaos. The things you said are nothing compared to:
- Israeli delegation filming Joost in secret because Joost requested to not be filmed by them and tried to stay away, they mocked him and basically ignored his lack of consent
- Israeli broadcaster KAN misgendering the non binary Irish artist
- Israeli delegation harassing people of the Netherland delegation
- People booing Israel, Eurovision trying to use anti booing technology
- People booing the ORGANIZER (first time it ever happened)
- The EBU website down for about three hours
- Israeli delegation saying that the Irish artist should not come close to them or breath when they are around
also voting has been delayed with no starting in sight lol
watched the first like 15 minutes of There Will Come a Day (2016) and just god idk what to say like the tradition of films about institutional violence against children in scandinavian cinema leading up to an endless repition where we're doomed to return to the 1960s with less genuine cultural context and worse writing every time
Translation: What a shitshow. This years Eurovision has gone to hell. And it's first and foremost the EBU's fault.
Also, excerpt from the same article:
Throughout the course of the Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU has acted as if they live in a parallel universe. Eurovision is one thing, the world outside something else. The EBU has stuck its head in the sand. Shoved the problem under the rug. Held their hands over their ears and shouted LALALALALA. They appear to have done everything they can to pretend it's possible to hold an apolitical event in a world that's on fire. We have come together to be "united by music", they say, but the sharpshooters on Malmö's rooftops have nothing to do with us! In its struggle to remain apolitical, the EBU has become like a small fascist state in itself, where the artists' space for expression and action has been reduced as much as the undergarments of the Spanish dancers. It is reprehensible.
Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸
Don't watch, don't vote.
this isn't the fucking US presidential election. there is no 'anti' israel vote, that's not how ESC works
and even if there somehow was a way we could all collectively vote to stop israel from winning, all we'd be doing is banding together to save eurovison's reputation and legitimacy. it would do nothing for palestine
if israel ends up winning, then that's EBU's problem, not ours
don't give these ghouls your money
I think you should be able to absorb bathroom graffiti to learn new powers like with those walls in the tombs in skyrim
using my new power to summon Kelly for a Good Time
use ability 'ERIK WAS HERE' to summon a lvl 8 erik in combat

They should make an alternate version of boba tea called kiki tea and its filled with spikes
[With people being stationed all over the world, they get different flavors, and one fine day a predatory world shall consume itself, it's really amazing.]
The introductory “Hate” monologue from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, with AM voiced by the TikTok TTS
This is one of my favorite monologues in all of fiction, and I think the voice legitimately, unironically adds to the experience. With the modern connotation we now have surrounding this voice of faux cheeriness, machine generated empathy, machine generated “humanity”, to hear that voice declare utter despisal of life on earth for damning it… its poetry. It’s the only remake of I Have No Mouth we need.
