Expiratory muscle strength training - what’s the evidence that it could improve dysphagia after critical illness? Our new paper in Journal of @ics-updates.bsky.social : journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Anyone know why some of the countries jury results only have 6 jurors, they seem to run from A-F rather than A-G

ATTENTION EUROGEEKS I’ve combined all the released rankings data into sheets for the finals and semi finals and by jury televote. I’m sure other people have done the same, but if anyone wants a copy DM me

The Moldova story is getting weirder. A TV exec resigns because 7 independent people didn’t vote based on geography?!

When you have window blinds that remind you of the typewriter captions from Threads. This is so esoteric I’m guessing only @europete.bsky.social will get it

I don’t really understand this story. They are simultaneously the jury is independent of the broadcaster, (which is correct) but also that it does reflect the broadcaster, which presumably would want a higher mark. It makes a mockery if people are expecting neighbourly bonuses

I’m enjoying Legends but by god the Scouse accents are appalling and Steve coogan sounds like he’s doing it as Paul calf

You have a great day Technical Specialist Number 4

Can’t wait for the Intelligent Music Project to be next years interval act

There’s something I always find quite sad about when the Eurovision delegations do their final Sunday morning photo at the airport. Like it’s all smiles but the artist goes home alone, the tv people go back to tv, the dancers go back to dancing.

This is the problem with the UK attitude. You need a key change You need a wind machine You need cliff richards You need a wind machine You need it to be 1991

We do best with the “big” well sung song, but looking at Latvia this year, would they even scratch the juries? We either do the big well performed number or go so left field as to take punk or ska or whatever and let them get on with it without intervention.

Eurovision fans with raging hangovers wanking over spreadsheets in the name of analysis this morning.

Eurovision 2026: The winning song was excellent. The standard of song was high. The show was good. The hosts didn’t shout into a camera. While we’re so concerned with voting irregularities, the Greece-Cyprus 12 point swap is one that should be looked at. Poor UK, and poor Belgium.

My hobby of 25 years should end with a sense of joy for the winner and sympathy for the not so winners. Mostly it just ends with relief now.

What a sloppy ending, reprise from the Green room…

I think there’s 313 points left. I hope I’m right

If I’ve crunched the numbers, I think it’s saved. I hope I’ve got it right

I have a bad feeling

A POINT!

Lovely. But we don’t need an interval act this long.

Fuck it let the interval act win

Sorry but the Ukrainian tin foil Timmy Mallet needs to piss off.

Arcade as a swing song. Release it max

Voted for Bulgaria, Malta, Italy, Norway

Has Austria come dressed as the polish entry

In an ideal world Norway would win but the fan polls are sheep.

402 customers across Europe realising there’s a typo on song 19.

Watching Moldova and thinking how will @eurotrashsash.bsky.social replicate this at Eurobash

Have Moldova robbed the Homepride man?

Did anyone hear the French entry go shhhh and think “it’s just Lard”

I’ll keep quiet about Bulgaria

Czechia did very well, sounded effortless

Come on Malta!!!!!

I’ve only just noticed the black frostbite gloves on Ukraine

I have warmed to Greece massively and I hate fun normally

Belgium - this is fantastic #eurovision

Here’s come Austrian Keith lemon #eurovision

And here we go….#Eurovision

This year I have the pacing nerves of someone who’s about to do their A levels #eurovision

We need more clarinet at Eurovision

My final top 10. I’ve put a fiver on Bulgaria getting top 4. It’s sprang into my affections this week

What’s better than a funny TikTok where you mock one Eurovision spokesperson? That’s right, one where you mock 13 of them vm.tiktok.com/ZNRGEK8kw/

I’d love for a random winner tonight, so go Malta or whatever

NOT TODAY SCOTT FITZGERALD.

I’m visiting my parents and courtesy of google box my mother has just asked what pegging is.

He looks like a thunderbird doll that came to life

Maybe there’s some audience research report that shows viewers can’t cope with 3 randomly drawn ballads/dance tracks/whatever in a row, but I honestly hate the producer choice.

Latvia out is a travesty.

Only just catching up with the semi final as had Stewart Lee tickets. Fuck it Bulgaria could win this
