If a country's participation prompts a sigh of relief when they finish second, that seems like a structural issue for an event www.politico.eu/article/bulg... #Eurovision

Something has gone seriously wrong with Eurovision when so many people around Europe, and other countries around the world, hold their breath during the reading out of the audience votes, hoping that one specific country does not win #Eurovision

"Under current rules a few hundred people voting multiple times can easily determine the outcome, political voting is being mobilised. Forget the idea of “boycotts” — people don’t want to watch a contest in which one particular country comes top each year because of this." #Eurovision

Many Eurovision fans say that they won't be watching tonight's final in Vienna "I won’t be tuning in. I’m not boycotting Eurovision. I simply no longer enjoy watching a contest that feels preordained and no longer about the music." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #Eurovision

NATO: “Whatever anyone is saying in public, we estimate that the Iranians have at least 60 per cent of their missile capability. How else can you explain, for example, how they can continue to attack Gulf nations with missiles and drones?” said a senior Nato source in Europe.

"The question is what kind of singing competition Eurovision becomes if more countries, broadcasters, artists and viewers, see it not as a celebration above politics, but as one shaped by them." www.bbc.com/news/article... #eurovision

65 YEARS AGO: May 14, 1961 Anniston, Alabama—A mob of Klansmen firebombed a Greyhound bus containing Freedom Riders who were protesting against segregation on buses The mob held the doors shut trying to burn the riders to death and when the riders escaped the burning bus the mob brutally beat them

Winning? It seems Iran actually retains substantial (70%+) of its original missile capacity, while the war to date has seriously depleted the United States' own stockpile of critical munitions

It is a globally toxic brand (Australians do not like BS) #TrumpTower

Many tourists and businesspeople now avoid the US, as anti-inclusion policies render it a "hostile state" for global travel Attacking people of different races and cultures is extremely unpopular globally, causing many billions of dollars damage to the US economy #Inclusion #DEI #Tourism

"71% supported, or somewhat supported, the new government protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people, an area that experienced dramatic rollbacks under Orbán." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell would be appalled.

Celebrating 100 years of a global treasure. Happy birthday Sir David Attenborough. ✨

They laughed. Discrimination is never a laughing matter. Eliminating Tennessee’s only majority-Black district isn’t just gerrymandering—it is the deliberate erasure of a community’s voice and a direct assault on democracy. #DEI #VotingRights

Attenborough: "It's very disturbing that when you get a message from science that you don't like you say 'Well, the science is wrong.' That's not what science is about. Science is about looking unblinkingly at the facts, and when they don't match what you thought, then you change the way you think."

What is happening in Tennessee is not what democracy should look like

Wearing the lettuce green dress to the meeting that night turned out to be an unfortunate mistake for former Prime Minister Liz Truss

State Representative Todd Warner (R-Chapel Hill) entered the House chamber in Nashville wearing this flag as a cape for the special session to redraw the Tennessee electoral map

The contrast in this video between the white Tennessee Republicans and the quiet, dignified disdain of the Black man and woman we see walking away is just so stark. It is hard to watch the arrogance and laughing of these legislators as they strip Black voters of the power of their voting rights.

Australian media tends not to mince words. The Aussies—straight to the point as usual. #ProjectFreedom #RIPProjectFreedom 🦘

There's been a wide range of comments on this post about Apple's new Pride Collection over at @outnow.bsky.social, especially in the quote reposts. Some think it shows a company standing up for its values. Others critique it as too 'coded' or hidden. All most interesting to read.

Is this how 'The Art of The Deal' negotiation is supposed to go? Ebrahim Rezaei is Iran’s National Security spokesperson

Did Project Freedom start?

The only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them.

The importance of governance principles we saw during the January 2025 #Costco debate is reflected by the 4,500+ members of this network who have engaged with that analysis. Today, the fundamental #DEI link between #inclusion and retail resilience remains unchanged and more valuable than ever.

Ron DeSantis: “White men have been discriminated against” In 30+ years of advancing inclusion at work, one thing has become abundantly clear—the only people afraid of DEI are those who think they won't succeed if they have to face a more diverse workplace of competitive talent #Inclusion #DEI
