good, does this mean france is next

erika ishii is so cool

My favourite album of this year so far (and by a mile) is Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, but I also want to mention MINISERIES 2 by SUMIN and Slom because I think it’s super underrated!! It’s R&B, Soul, and K-Pop. There’s also Prece by Luiza Brina which is a pretty good folk album

My favourite song of the year is probably Cry for Me by Magdalena Bay, one of the best pop songs this year imo

same!!

i dont trust (and i dont want chaos im sorry im boring)

honestly idk about refederation with these people. im sure there are nice people there but if some of them are just going to keep complaining about ppb and russia and acting in bad faith then id rather pass

why did they add hexbear to the blocklist in the first place, i need the lore

when i started paying attention to politics, it was because i was an election nerd, so i supported the liberal democrats for their support for proportional representation

then covid leftpilled me. we need another global pandemic

why the fuck does it take up to 3 years to get diagnosed with adhd in the uk, istfg i hate this country so much

i am finally making the decision to remove a toxic interest from my life. i’ve watched eurovision since i was 13 and i don’t think my interest in the contest has ever been as intense as it was this year. i was basically lying to myself for months trying to convince myself that it’s fine that i’m following eurovision so closely because i’m ignoring israel and supporting pro-palestine artists

i guess the israeli delegation harassing everyone got me to take my head out of my arse and i boycotted the grand final. it’s just sad i suppose. those artists aren’t bad people but in the end they either did nothing or did some performative activism that didn’t result in anything, and even though israel didn’t win, they still managed to get enough attention and controversy on their performance that everyone ignored their assault on rafah. i even saw people on twitter talking about how this is a great victory but that they’ll still fight against israel’s inclusion, as if this year wasn’t the best opportunity to get rid of them and it was squandered

ultimately the only way to remove israel was to boycott eurovision and deal a financial blow to the broadcasters who enabled the european broadcasting union to keep israel in. but instead there were campaigns on twitter to “vote tactically against israel” by voting for croatia, switzerland, or ireland. im just disappointed in everyone i suppose. plus i feel like all of those eurofans who constantly talked about how important it was to ban israel and then went to the contest anyway just to boo israel when it was barely picked up on the stream anyway are hypocritical. there were countless other pro-palestinian events in malmo that were barely reported on even in eurovision fan circles

idk what to feel anymore about eurovision tbh, but im not going to follow it anymore

i only know this guy as the writer of harry potter and the methods of rationality, i forgot he did stuff other than write fanfiction

where’s pluto’s charon?

i actually love it now, i looked up the meaning behind the song and “zorra” means vixen but misogynists use it in a derogatory way against women. she’s reclaiming the word using the song

im way too eurovision obsessed… there were 7 different national selection shows happening yesterday and i spent hours simultaneously watching them and going on twitter to see what people were saying

my favoute song of the season won in norway though (it’s a really good rock folk song based on a 1000 year old folk song)

a very camp song won in spain that i kinda don’t get. it’s a grandma singing about being a bitch and dancing with two half-naked men. …actually that does explain why it won

also a song about eating bananas almost won in malta. and in ukraine, hundreds of thousands of people tried to vote on the miia app and they had to postpone the results until today because the app crashed. the hosts actually tried keeping the show going to see if the app would start working again and the english commentators sounded like they had given up 💀

Streets of Rogue 2, it’s going to be open world instead of level-based and it looks so fucking cool

kinda the plot of children of time by adrian tchaikovsky

a faction of humans creates a garden planet and then tries to infect monkeys with a virus to make them sapient, with the endgoal being a monkey slave workforce that sees humans as god

obviously it failed at the first hurdle and spiders accidentally get uplifted instead

I started resding Ten Myths about Israel by Ilan Pappé, it’s pretty interesting so far

I just watched Jimmy McGee’s video about Artificial Intelligence and it’s so depressing…

Even though he tried to be optimistic at the end and mention all of the labour organising happening recently, I can’t help but feel like a doomer. Its a great video though, best video I’ve watched that explains AI and its impact on us

(i had to edit this like 5 times why do i keep making spelling mistakes 💀)
