she's like the anti rita ora... she'd get the 100,000 retweets and still not release

ah the classic "I will not create any Eurovision content" to "being in the actual jury show" pipeline

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training. In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table. The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed. 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/19/efl…

to those of you getting very excited that we 'survived' and Eurovision 'escaped' an ending that its fully deserved for a third year in a row, can we please figure out what finances allowed Bulgaria and Romania to return to the contest thank you

The media spent 2.5 years telling you this is “targeting Hamas.”

Channel 4 exposed Eurovision's double standard. 'Five countries are boycotting because of Israel. Russia was banned for invading Ukraine. Israel is not banned. Protesters are being pulled from the arena. Politics is drowning out the music' Russia is unpopular enough to ban. Israel has enough Western backing to protect - even while committing genocide.

RT @eurofamiliaa: The EBU is still actively trying to cover up a genocide

It feels so weird to not give a fuck about eurovision. For my entire life I loved this week so much. But i genuinely feel nothing now. No excitement, no hype, no joy. That genocidal state took something that brought us so much joy and connection and completely ruined it.

Sorry I don’t chime in nowadays but I need to point out how hilarious it is that RTP refused to withdraw despite all the calls to, two (2) artists in FdC saying they’d go to esc, one of them winning, and ending Portugal’s qualification streak. Karma served on a silver platter

mind you the EBU have had this data stored in their cloud and clearly thought this was not an example of irregular televoting

Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin Read more: amn.st/6016BBSR1u

The New York Times has investigated Israel's Eurovision campaign and the EBU's response. Findings include: 🔹2025 voting data was not fully investigated 🔸Broadcasters faced pressure from the EBU and Israeli diplomats 🔹EBU lawyers stated Israel could have been excluded in 2026

🇦🇹 Many Boycott #Eurovision posters are currently being used around Vienna.

And now they come for Parkrun. PARKRUN. Threatening community run events with legal action cannot possibly be part of protecting women’s sport. For these campaigners, the only thing that seems to matter is the erasure of the trans community from public life.

Hasn’t aged a day, we’ll never get a masterpiece like this again
