News so big an artwork was needed to celebrate it. As of last night, the tomboy leporine #MargoHynde officially has a voice actress. You will hear her speak for the first time in my Arcade-ological Discoveries video on 'Roll Away'… #OTOG

Got a big announcement to make. But you'll have to wait until tomorrow for it... maybe Thursday at the latest. Stay tuned!

Pre-qualifiers ranking from best to worst: Germany, Russia, Hungary, Israel, North Macedonia, Romania, Denmark. The latter three would have placed below Bosnia & Herzegovina with me had they made it in, and Germany's and Russia's... would have placed in my top 10. 🧵
Best of Eurovision 1996: "The Voice" (Ireland). Beautiful folk song; such a refreshing listen after "Why Me?" and "Rock 'n' Roll Kids".
Worst of Eurovision 1996: "Za našu ljubav" (Bosnia & Herzegovina). Not terrible, but the least memorable of the bunch.

I feel lucky to have discovered the Kessler sisters during the last few months they were alive. Their 1959 Eurovision entry is one of the greatest entries from the early years of the contest.

Eurovision's 40th year is one of the best so far. Not a single song I'd call outright bad, except the Russian entry that was performed in such an over-the-top manner that I burst out laughing. Now that's the kind of bad that I love to see. The funny kind.

Best of Eurovision 1995: "Fra Mols til Skagen" (Denmark). A sweet tune with a minimalistic composition that proves that sometimes, less is more.
Worst of Eurovision 1995: "Kolybelnaya dlya vulkana" (Russia). An unintentionally hilarious romp... the best kind of bad.

I bet money that many, if not most of the votes that went to Ireland, were actually for that Riverdance interval. Because that is a timeless and legendary performance, whereas "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" comes off as something like a dollar-store "American Pie".

Best of Eurovision 1994: "Wir geben 'ne Party" (Germany). A blend of post-disco and symphonic pop makes for a catchy banger of a tune.
Worst of Eurovision 1994: "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" (Ireland). Too much boomers being boomers for me to take; I'm baffled by how this won.

one degree down, one degree to go. every little bit helps. doomerism is collaboration. only big social majorities can get it done.
Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.
