We are watching the death of Eurovision in real time, over a country that isn’t even in Europe
Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.
Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

For people in Britain: RTÉ doing the right thing is a bit of a surprise to most of us, but very welcome.
"Ireland’s participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and humanitarian crisis there, which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk.
RTÉ remains deeply concerned by the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza during the conflict".

Enoch Burke was, for a brief moment, the cause célèbre of UK newspapers, because he was attempting to harm trans students. Over the past few years, the media, embarrassed at his increasingly obsessive and erratic behaviour (publicly threatening a schoolmaster, trespassing, etc.), quietly dropped him

Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

I'd do more baking. Maybe take some time to get into gardening, and because there'd be no real profit incentive distribute the surplus around the area
