Art.

If the EBU mutes the audience like they did this year the contest will still be manipulated by the way.

Changing rules doesn’t avoid giving them a platform. Keeping Isr in the contest is like helping an abuser with their Tinder profile tbh.

God knows I tried to hold it all together.

I just saw my fave Dutch ESC ever (Grow) performed live and absolutely broke down.

Went to see Joker Out, amazing as always, while we were waiting to get in the venue, a guy who was going to the (sold-out) Yung Lean concert next door stopped and took a photo of the Joker Out sign behind us and excitedly said “I remember them from ESC!” 🥹💖 Also, check out their new song Supersonic.

Woah, Scotland let’s party. 🥳 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Pretty funny that Katarsis 🇱🇹 are playing in Amsterdam at the same time as Lithuania playing their ⚽️ World Cup qualification match in Amsterdam.

Unfortunately nobody mentioned him and he wasn’t mentioned as a pointless answer afterwards because there were over 50 correct answers but the fact that M*ns Z. was a pointless answer amused me.

OOOHH OHHH I KNOW SOME

Co-worker just handed me an invitation to a reading about AI & design and I rejected it and she said “but isn’t this something you should be doing?” and I bluntly said “they might want me to do it but I’m not doing it.” Fuck AI.

After much internal debate this is the result. My only requirement was to feature just one entry per country (which was TOUGH). #ESC250

Right, it’s about time I spend way too long creating a new and improved #ESC250 list that will eventually have the same 10 songs on it as previous years, but in slightly different order.

Can’t still wrap my head around the fact that Ylivoimainen only came FIFTH. UMK 2023 was STACKED. #NFC100

So happy I can say I saw this song performed live (in a field in eastern Estonia). #NFC100

In corpore sano so good they should have sent it twice. #NFC100

Teared up a bit when Alan said it’s been tearing him apart 😭 #celebritytraitorsuk

TRM didn’t have the money to buy a Happy Meal just a short while ago and now they’re holding a national final in the country’s brand spanking new arena. Hmm. #Eurovision

Happy for Moldova returning to ESC but I cannot feel any excitement unless EBU does The Thing.

Sissal eliminated on Danish Dancing with the Stars: 🫤 Sissal therefore being able to be a last-minute addition to Het Grote Songfestivalfeest line-up: 🥳

This Halloween, I am going to dress up as the year 2025.

Can someone calmly reassure / explain me that the return of two countries is not a very strong indication of the EBU deciding they’re pretty okay chopping the boycotters in december in favour of keeping Isr. Because I was kind of still holding on to a little bit of hope. #ESC

Bulgaria is back.

This is my last straw.

Dat het verschil tussen de twee grootste partijen momenteel 1984 stemmen is, vind ik wel typerend voor deze tijden. #verkiezingen

Mompelt iets van kut-Helmond.

OMG?

Exit polls in 10 minutes I am a little scared, not gonna lie!

When 🇫🇮 2023-2024-2025 get together for 2023’s special version of another UMK 2023 song.

General elections (again) today so once again trying to keep fear-mongering fascists out and voted. ✅

Only a few more days left for people to join me and come out as an Oh My God! enjoyer. 🎺

Misselijkmakende mannetjes winnen wederom een publieksprijs, we zijn een smakeloos land. #televizier

Speaking of voting and parties that can’t decide on anything, the ballot for our general (re)-election just arrived and let’s put it this way, the options are ridiculously endless and the result will be messy (again).

At this point, you just have to laugh at the incompetence of it all. (Re: EBU)

There’s no end to this is there. Just rip off the band-aid, for goodness sake.

Anyway, survived 3 gigs in 4 days, seems mad but this time last year I did 3 gigs in 3 days so I’m slowing down.

Dutch trains are: space for bikes and Mondriaan deco.

I love that Erika wrote a song dedicated to her butt after EBU wanted her to cover it up (EBU tends to want to cover up lots of things I see), song kind of slaps too (no pun intended). 🍑

Went to see Erika Vikman last night and we loved her and she loved us! 💙 🇳🇱

Some interesting picks! What defines a WLD. Curious to see the results!

I have this sinking feeling we 🇳🇱 are going to take a year off. #ESC2026

“We only want to go on the school trip if the school bully is invited to come along.”

In an interview on 🇩🇪 ARD, chancellor Merz calls for a boycott if Israel is excluded from ESC. www.volkskrant.nl/cultuur-medi...

Tampere ich komme wieder! #umk

I know he’s Estonian but I am very tempted to sing his name to the tune of Luktelk.

It’s like saying you’ll keep eating sugar as long as it’s salty.

Oh em gee ooh em kohhhhh 🥳 🇫🇮

Let’s hear it for Moldova! 🇲🇩

Can’t figure out if the noise I hear is from a neighbour’s washing machine with three pairs of shoes in it, or there’s a drum corps playing outside.

According to reports and a video on That Other Place, they made a song together called ‘Appetite’, which they performed at tonight’s show! I love the class of ‘25. 🥰
