I have a new cryptic puzzle available ... but it's not a crossword! Check it out: dailybaffle.com/morphology/2...

Just a killer gag here.

While it's on your mind, how about an NBA Finals quiz? www.sporcle.com/games/Qaqaq/...

A new Sporcle word ladder. Gotta say, I'm pretty happy with this one. www.sporcle.com/games/Qaqaq/...

Can you sort the songs performed by the 2026 R&R HoF inductees? www.sporcle.com/games/Qaqaq/...

My last 10 ESC #1s: 1. Cha Cha Cha (FIN, 23) 2. Bara Bada Bastu (SWE, 25) 3. In Corpore Sano (SRB, 22) 4. 10 Years (ISL, 21) 5. My Lucky Day (MOA, 18) 6. Liekinheitin (FIN, 26) 7. La Venda (ESP, 19) [X. On Fire (LTU, 20)] 8. Nendest... (EST, 24) 9. Sound of Silence (AUS, 16) 10. Gravity (CYP, 17)

Last Gaga and Doechii’s “Runway” may be the first pop song I’ve ever heard where I feel like the goal was for it to be a Lip Sync For Your Life.

Last 10 ESC winners ranked: 1. Zitti e buoni (21) 2. Toy (18) 3. Wasted Love (25) 4. Stefania (22) 5. The Code (24) 6. Arcade (19) 7. Tattoo (23) 8. Amar pelos dois (17) 9. 1944 (16) 10. Bangaranga (26) Not one of these would have been my pick to win its year. #Eurovision

Hours later, I’m still trying to decide how much the Lordi cover of “Save All Your Kisses for Me” makes up for the inexplicable, terrible winning song. #Eurovision

Currently trying to decide whether this is the absolute worst winner of all time or whether “Everybody” still holds the honor. #Eurovision

A) thank GOD; b) what the FUCK??

Someone please explain to me what the juries are finding, vocally, in “Bangaranga”.

Wondering whether Conchita boycotted or whether she’s got a big appearance coming up. #Eurovision

A friend I’m watching with me actually called that it would end with Volare! #Eurovision

Second-best interval act of all time? #Eurovision

Did I just hallucinate Lordi covering Papa Pinguin??? #Eurovision

I’m going to attempt to watch the Eurovision finals sober. Even through the UK song. Gird your loins, people. #Eurovision

Has anyone done a compare-and-contrast of "The Cheap Detective" and "The Sheep Detectives" yet?

My dream for Saturday: LMNC: “If only there was a language that I can count in that would make me feel better!” Entire audience: “Yksi, kaksi, kolme, sauna!” #Eurovision

Called 9/10; had Armenia over Czechia, which ought to have happened. #Eurovision

Ooh I thought JJ was boycotting. Wonder how they convinced him to show up. #Eurovision

WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK does this act have to do with Eurovision? #Eurovision

This host is Dustin the Turkey in human form. #Eurovision

Ya Ya Ya is not a great song or anything but my GOD did I need a hit of energy about now. #Eurovision

Biggest Difference In Songs, 2025-26 Award goes to Malta #Eurovision

Albania continuing the high drama of recent years but I’m just not feeling it this time. Again, maybe just me. #Eurovision

Oh god I’m not drunk, how will I survive the UK act #Eurovision

Ukraine, like so many countries this year, sends an act that is fine but just doesn’t connect with me. #Eurovision

I’m dying to know what will happen to the piano with a hidden pedestal after Eurovision ends. #Eurovision

She’s a great singer but man do Australi’s lyrics hit everything on the bingo card. #Eurovision

I propose a five-year moratorium on using Euphoria as the backing track for any Eurovision interval segment. #Eurovision

Just realized the start of this, staging wise, is a reverse Kaarija. #Eurovision

Oh good, I woke up in time for Denmark. #Eurovision

I still respond well to Austria’s “The Roop meets Subwoolfer” entry, even though grant he’s not the best vocalist. #Eurovision

I wonder if you made a song from just the appearances of the words Jalla, Bangaranga, and Ferto, whether it would fit in the three-minute limit. #Eurovision

Alice is more interesting than Voyage but that’s a pretty low bar. #Eurovision

Still hoping for a surprise qualification for Armenia. Maybe it’s just me. #Eurovision

France is confirming my season-long feeling that it’s the biggest competitor for Finland. #Eurovision

I still feel like Crossroads just has too much build before the payoff. Not sure this will connect with people. #Eurovision

Luxembourg: dumb lyrics, weak vocals, nothingburger staging. Just bad all over. #Eurovision

Choke Me is not my jam, but there’s no denying the power of this performance. #Eurovision

She’s singing and also drying her linens. Nice multitasking. #Eurovision

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the “I’m a…” lines in Bangaranga are very A Little Bit Alexis. #Eurovision

Mocking your country’s winning entry to begin the semifinal is certainly a choice. #Eurovision

Whoa! Pleased to see Belgium making it; I like the song but didn’t think the staging did enough. #Eurovision

This song is making the game show segment look better. #Eurovision

Did not work either as comedy or as game show. #Eurovision

I am rather tired of the “one host has to explain Eurovision to their supposedly underinformed cohost” trope. #Eurovision

Serbia: one of the annual “so not for me in any way, but it’ll qualify” entries. #Eurovision

I still don’t like Poland’s song much, but the vocals are strong and the staging helps, so maybe it’s not the definite NQ I was predicting? #Eurovision
