I make flags out of Lego, but they’re not very good
Today’s
#FlagTypes
category is stars (or in many cases star, and in Lego usually circle/circles) and stripes, where the victors are
#Cuba
,
#Liberia
,
#Togo
and the
#UnitedStates

Some important non-Lego, non-flag news: I’ve discovered that my phone always gives me these three suggestions for “Wacky”, and I can’t stop laughing at the unknown series of events that leads it to think I probably want to say “Wacky wizards”, “Wacky wizard” or “Wacky Friday”

It’s Independence Day in
#Botswana
tomorrow, and today they’re having a bonus national holiday to celebrate winning the men’s 4x400m at the World Athletics Championships last week. Sounds like a grand couple of days - enjoy! 🇧🇼

As there are few entrants in the Nordic crosses
#FlagTypes
category, I’ve made an exception and allowed autonomous island territories to take part. Probably in part due to this novelty value, two of them -
#Åland
and the
#FaroeIslands
- join
#Iceland
and
#Sweden
as winners 🇦🇽🇫🇴🇮🇸🇸🇪

Because of REASONS, I’ve walked past my local Equatoguinean embassy every day so far this week, and if you think I’m telling you this purely as an excuse to use the word “Equatoguinean” and to post a flag of
#EquatorialGuinea
made badly out of Lego, you’re absolutely correct 🇬🇶

In other French flag news, today I took this picture not because of the statue of an uncharacteristically naked Harry Brook saying “Fetch that” after belting a six but because of the blue and yellow Toulon flag, which resembles a centred Sweden flag

If you like flags made badly out of Lego and similar nonsense, you’d probably enjoy the very entertaining book A History of the World in 47 Borders by
@jonnelledge.bsky.social
, which I’ve just finished reading. In the meantime, here are some flags made badly out of Lego 🇧🇧🇳🇺🇵🇦🇸🇪

I’m still where I was with

:
#Sweden
and
#Latvia
are the best,
#Italy
will win and
#Switzerland
is the host 🇸🇪🇱🇻🇮🇹🇨🇭

has as good a chance as anyone. Where’s your money? 🇮🇹

This year it’s harder to choose; I reckon the
#Eurovision
acts I most like are those of
#Sweden
and
#Latvia
, but I can’t yet say for sure which of them I prefer. Anyone else got a different favourite? 🇸🇪🇱🇻

In both the previous two years, the best act was from
#Finland
(including 2024’s memorable offering, which was the best
#Eurovision
performance there has ever been OR WILL EVER BE), but that’s not the case this time 🇫🇮
