The first problem with #SanMarinoSongContest is that the organisers, judges and advertiser's think they are much more important than the acts.

The second problem is that when you hear some of the acts you realise that unfortunately they are correct.

Time for the second semi final of Festivali i Kenges. Audio seems more echoey tonight, hopefully it's just the commentary microphones. #fik63

Uh oh, an entry that's too much for Albania's dial-up connection to YouTube #fik63

Noizy "Let's go"

Audience - off you pop then, we've still got a bunch of songs to get through.

I feel like I've confidently learnt the Albanian for Microphone 🎤 #fik63

That was the wrong end of rock for me #fik63

I have no idea what the lyrics are, but #fik63 seems pretty spirited and everyone sounds polished.

Watching the leaders debate on RTE1 and my general takeaway is that pretty much everyone talks a lot of sense.

FF/FG while a more sensible version of the Tory party, come across a little Tweedledum + Tweedledee and are intrinsically still wedded to market forces and big business first and foremost.

Hello!

A big welcome to all the refugees from Twitter, you are most welcome here.

Make yourself at home, ditch the twitter baggage, relax and be your true self.

In the words of Bill and Ted let's "be excellent to each other"

Not a fan of the AI postcards in Junior Eurovision, one poor kid had a hand with only four fingers in their AI postcard.

Just about snuck into the first 10% with #945,313!

One of the acts hoping to be Finland's entry to Eurovision is called "Windows 95 Man"... Can't wait to see what that sounds like.

Another evening of trying to watch three TV channels at once...

Watching the Running Man on 5Action and the only thing unrealistic about this vision of a future 2017 is the comically giant cameras.

What's with all the companies using AI generated artwork these days.

Even the most dystopian films mostly restricted the AI to clinical logical thought and the robots do physical grunt work.

Leave the Art to the humans, there is plenty else for AI and robotics to cover.

Seen tiktoks asking what you would do to make money if teleported into the past. Suggestions like memorising sports results (betting) or buying Apple shares.

Personally would just copyright the sound of crickets and make Megabucks from the gaming industry. 🤣

More reinforcement that I currently live in a cultural desert, if I want to watch the new Doctor Jekyll at the cinema I'm looking at an 80 mile round trip.

Plenty of local cinemas, but they only offer the most mainstream of mainstream films.

So having completely removed myself from Twitter with accounts on here (since Sept) and mastodon (since Feb) - how do they compare for reach.

Bluesky
Found 44 people I used to follow + six new friends

Mastodon
Found 10 people I used to follow + two new friends

Interesting!

Every large business these days seems to be run by the fabled dog with a bone who sees its reflection in the river and tries to grab a second bone.

This - can't argue with that.

I'd rather talk to a subject matter expert any day than rely on something cobbled together by AI.
I think the best response I've seen to AI anything has been, "Why should I bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write"

We're barely five months after the last #Eurovision and I'm already gagging for more information on next years event and the song selections for each country.

eurovision.tv/calendar - is bleakly empty of content :(

After a couple of weeks of scouring social media accounts I -think- I've found just about anybody I follow elsewhere who has a Bluesky account.

I've also managed to find alternative ways of following everyone I had on Twitter, so that account has been liquidated!

Now to hope that people find me.

I'm reading the EULA and laughing my ass off at section 5. I wish more companies would liven up their ToS like this, it would make them more enjoyable to read.
