🇮🇸 RÚV's board of directors has recommended to the EBU that Israel should not participate in #Eurovision 2026.

The Icelandic broadcaster will discuss their position on participation in 2026 at a board meeting following next week's EBU General Assembly.

The switch from the .tv to .com kinda makes me sad for some strange reason… I just hope it’s not signaling a full end of an era (for me)…

You “listened”?! You are ignoring the elephant in the room here, babes. Maybe act on that.
We listened and we acted.

For 2026 we’ve made changes to the Eurovision Song Contest voting framework to strengthen trust and transparency: clearer promotion rules, fewer max votes, juries returning to Semi-Finals, and enhanced tech safeguards.

More details:

While I do welcome some of these needed changes, I truly believe that using the rules to try and 'catch out' people who are "technically playing by the rules but are not in the spirit of the thing" is a futile endeavour. People who find loopholes will just find more loopholes. #eurovision

Yay for juries back in the semis BUT like… we still need to ban Them. 🥴
🚨 BREAKING: The EBU has announced rule changes for #Eurovision 2026

👉 Juries return to semi-finals and number of juries expanded to 7
👉 New voting rules "discourage disproportionate promotion campaigns"
👉 Maximum number of televotes reduced to 10.

Yeah, so some of us don’t use dark mode because of astigmatism, whereas other people need dark mode for light sensitivity issues. It’s not always about preference. The “content warnings” jab also makes it seems like legit content warnings are frivolous….
In v1.110, Bluesky now has a dark-mode app icon — for anyone who thinks light mode should require a content warning.

In the late 19th century other police forces across the UK and the world would send #photograph s like this to the Met, which compiled them into what we've nicknamed our 'big book of criminals'. #Museum30

"Old Edinburgh at Night" by Arthur Melville, a watercolour of 1883 -- so atmospheric, people glimpsed among the tall buildings with just one street lamp and some lights in windows, yet still an air of life -- almost phantasmagoric victorianweb.org/painting/mel... #painting #Scotland

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

The Duke of Wellington statue on Queen Street in Glasgow this morning, with a new take on the traditional road cone by The Rebel Bear. What you can't see from this shot is that the pigeon is doing what pigeons usually do on statues!
