Ever tried boiled pasta? Not as crunchy but still good

The great British tradition of following all rules and regulations holding, erm, firm. Nice dark room you've got there, swingers, shame if something happened to it....

Pill bottles filled with antidepressants you forgot to take make excellent baby rattles

This is it, isn't it? A show about lying and treachery turned out to be about friendship and staying true to a promise. WHAT a show #TheTraitors

I write as a Brit struggling to keep up with *gestures wildly*, so forgive me for a naïve reaction: I gather that the Chair of the Federal Reserve shouldn't be forced to make a hostage video in response to the autocratic demands of a lawless tyrant. Apologies for any misunderstanding.

I would answer this explicitly like a Magical 8 Ball. Reply hazy, try again. #TheTraitors #Traitors

Hey! Just a reminder that every time you post on X you’re continuing to legitimise a platform that frequently publishes CSAM, non-consensual abusive pictures of women, racism, homophobia and fascist propaganda. I can’t understand how anyone with a conscience could be comfortable with that.

This Telegraph writer has the sort of name I know Americans believe we all have over here.

we have to collectively bully them into NOT using this god-awful sound effect #TheTraitors

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

#esc250 All of us ending 2025

Another great night in front of #ESC250. Thank you to. @songfestival.bsky.social and EFR12; thanks to @torneroo.ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.ooo @eurowhat.bsky.social @heavenstobetsie.bsky.social @hgeeky.bsky.social @dudepoints.fun @krisboswell.bsky.social and everyone who's reacted :)

This is Albania's best year ever on the #ESC250. 3 is the highest rank ever for an Albanian entry and they had 8 entries total on the countdown.

Loreen, Loreen, Käärijä, Chanel, KAJ, Shkodra Elektronike #esc250

Fai rumore. Such a representative of that awful year. The iconic performance in Verona. And then two years later, another incredible performance on the Eurovision stage in Turin. No.20 in the #ESC250

Oh yay, I'm still stinging from "Voyage" getting 0 in the televote. One of the best executed stagings of 2025 -M #ESC250

I was out in Manchester during 2006 (part of my strained relationship with Eurovision in general at the time). Hearing that "Hard Rock Hallelujah" was the winner pulled me back. #ESC250

"Luktelk" made it on my list last year but was squeezed out this time. It's such a cool track as well as a thumping techno whomper. #ESC250

Someone needs to write a long read on the gap between Tommy Cash's popularity with Eurofans and the casual public. #ESC250

EIN ZWEI DREI TANZEN RUSSIA GOODBYE #ESC250

Alternative winners, ESP 1995 and YUG 1991 close together. Yugo needed to win eventually though having a weak winner followed by a classic isn't the right way around. #ESC250

120 for "Serving" and so low for Tommy Cash suggests the gap between fans, fandom, and "buzz" is a canyon #ESC250

Stats time: with "Guilty Pleasure", we reached 35 entries rising "into" the top 250, that is entries that were ranked below 250 last year. This number was at 15 in total last year, and 21 in 2023. Quite a renewal already of the #ESC250 for 2025!

I put "Sama" top of my #ESC250 for many reasons, perhaps top of which is the impact that song had even I was 15. It was completely alien and beautiful. Great boost up the listings this year.

thomas cash hilariously low, but still about 1500 places too high #esc250

The absence of Russia could be a worry though I suspect there's only so many votes for the doe-eyed lovlies talking about the end of war to go round. Malta will turn up, serving..... can't possibly imagine.

Now that we have heard 150 songs, some stats: 1975, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1998 and 2005 already have more entries in this year's #Top250 than last year, with Birmingham 1998 joint third right now with five entries.
