Honestly, it's hard to beat the baggy top and shorts shorts combo! 💪🏻🦵🏻

Gym mirror selfie, wearing a baggy black gym top with red accents down my side, a part of black short shorts with white accents, black gym socks and white trainers, and black over-ear headphones. My right arm is behind my back, flexing my bicep.

It would be interesting to see how people feel about if Eurovision fell through next year due to countries dropping out

X is refusing to remove a video of a woman being raped… They are now being sued here in Belgium.

Let that sink in…

To each their own but why on EARTH would anyone still want to be on that app?

Absolutely vile and disgusting!

As an Irish #Eurovision fan, I probably should be sad at the thought of my country not taking part. However, in this case, I can only applaud #RTÉ for putting itself on the right side of history and refusing to have #Ireland take part in a contest that has been manipulated by bad faith actors! 👏🏻🇮🇪❤️

Ireland won't contest Eurovision if Israel takes part

RTÉ has announced that it will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song contest "if the participation of Israel goes ahead".

Never had Eurovision New Year coinciding with becoming unemployed before. It's certainly a novel experience! 😅🫣🤣

I was considering sitting it out next year, letting other fans have a chance, but I guess now I'm gonna have to take part again! 😏🤣

Happy Friday from the @eurotrippodcast.com One Second Song Champion. And now I've got a trophy to prove it! 🤣🇪🇺🎤🏆

A photo of a metal trophy: a five-point star with a microphone and a twisted ribbon with notes and a music staff in front of it; a laurel in the top-right corner with a metallic print-out of a music staff, a treble clef, F major key signature and 2/4 time signature. At the base is a metal plaque: The Euro Trip Podcast One Second Song Champion. The trophy is on my kitchen table, in the background is the view from my kitchen showing clear blue skies, shrubbery and a recently-mowed grass field

Pope Francis is recovering well from pneumonia and a “new stage” in his pontificate is opening, two of his closest advisers say.

Pope Francis advisers say he’ll recover from pneumonia and a ‘new stage’ is opening for him

The Vatican press office reported Friday that Francis’ overall condition remained stable, with slight improvements as he continues respiratory and physical physiotherapy.

Hoping for a zero points in the public vote (which may not be feasible given Armenia is in the same semi but sure)

@wiwibloggs.bsky.social: rehashing the political propaganda of a regime that in no way supports freedom is a new low. Regardless of IG screenshots, Shengelia has participated in Georgian Dream rallies and it's clear where her loyalties lie. Do better! #AllEyesOnGeorgia #Eurovision2025

"That's not me" — Georgia's Mariam Shengelia denies "absurd accusations" circulating on social media

Recently, there have been social media claims suggesting that you are pro-Russian and homophobic. What is your response to these allegations?

The Austria hype continues to baffle me. Like what is so great about this song that I'm missing?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Michael @mykldoherty.bsky.social · Mar 18

I have a feeling that she probably wouldn't have even considered feeling safe enough to post that if he had won Melfest though... 🫣

Michael @mykldoherty.bsky.social · Mar 18

Helpful hint: if you don't want to support a pro-Russian, alleged homophobic, neo-fascist artist on Spotify, find their artist page, click the three dots and then choose "Don't play this artist". Now you can listen to those #Eurovision2025 playlists risk-free of supporting a kant! #AllEyesOnGeorgia

Screenshot of the Spotify app; menu options on the Mariam Shengelia artist page, with "Don't play this artist" as the second option

Pay attention Georgia. THAT'S what you have to bring if you leave your song reveal to the very last second! 👏🏻🇫🇷 #Eurovision2025 #Lyon2026?

Michael @mykldoherty.bsky.social · Mar 14

That would be ideal but for one of them that just seems unimaginable, however bland the song may be! 🥲

sending a government puppet with a song about freedom while you're beating up protesters on the streets for demanding freedom from russia is the exact level of blatant propaganda and cynicism i've come to expect from GPB. definitely a new low in their eurovision track record though

ESC Discord @escdiscord.com · Mar 14

🇬🇪 BREAKING: Mariam Shengelia will represent Georgia at #Eurovision 2025, as just announced by GPB.

Petition for everyone in the arena to sing "We Don't Wanna Put In" during the Georgian song in the semi? (cause you know that ain't getting to the final!)

If you want to follow the latest events in Georgia, and see yourself how sensitive this case is:

Check the hashtag #AllEyesOnGeorgia

Boycott Georgian participation at Eurovision 2025, if you stand with Georgia and Georgians!

I don't wanna put in 🎶
I want to see Lasha Tumbai!

Nicke 🇸🇪 @torneroo.ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.ooo · Mar 14

EUROVISION BLUESKY!

I ask for boycott of Georgia at ESC if the allegations of connection with the pro-Russian party is true.

It sadly looks like state-propaganda by broadcaster, AND artist doesn't represent the people.

🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺
Stand with Georgia and Ukraine, boycott the Georgian artist at #Eurovision

Nah I need a sugar daddy first before I think about helping out anyone else! This is like the oxygen mask on a plane, help yourself before you help others!

Finally sorted! And who doesn't love dropping £135 on a Thursday afternoon?! Now I just need to figure out flights and accommodation... 😅🫣

How are we still living in a world where you can't even buy a fucking Euroclub ticket cause the servers keep crashing? It's 2025 FFS!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ #eurovision2025 #basel2025
