Hear hear! Well done, Spain 🇪🇸

Enough with the Israeli phone banks trying to steal the popular vote. They've ruined what is usually a lot of fun for their own political goals.
A woman in a sparkling silver bodysuit holds the Spanish flag above her head, smiling excitedly on stage under bright lights. Bold text at the bottom reads: “Spain will not participate in Eurovision 2026 if Israel remains on the list of participating countries.”

Graphic with a faint background of Big Ben and Parliament. Large bold red text at the top reads “BREAKING.” Below, black text states: “The UK Government has concluded Israel is not committing a genocide in Gaza ahead of a visit from the President of Israel today.” At the bottom, there is a logo with “UK FCP” and smaller text that reads “FACT CHECK POLITICS.”

Ah yes, diesel, the famously explosive fuel…

Next headline: don’t light a match near water, it might boil.

#MetPolice #VictoriaCrash
A news alert screenshot with a red timestamp of 11:16. The headline reads: “Don’t smoke nearby, police say after diesel spill.” The text below says: “A trail of diesel running down Allington Street, in Victoria, has forced police to ban smoking in the area.” A share icon appears at the bottom right.

Oh, this happened yesterday...

If you have kids, don't fall for it

(I don't have kids BTW)

#scammer
A screenshot of a text message conversation. The first message reads, “Dad save this new number.” The reply in green says, “Who is this?” followed by, “Is that you Kate?” The next response says, “Yes, Could you do me a favour please?” The final message replies, “Nice try, I don’t know anyone called Kate. Jog on scammer.” This appears to be a scam attempt, quickly identified and shut down by the recipient.

Location: Yair Bridge, Galashiels
Taken: 23rd April 2023 10:52
A scenic view looking west across the Scottish Lowlands from Yair Bridge, just outside Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. In the foreground, a narrow country lane winds uphill beside a low stone wall lined with bright spring grass. The road is bordered by tall, leafing trees on the left, their early green foliage contrasting against a grey overcast sky. On the right, leafless trees line the River Tweed, whose calm, rippling water reflects the cloudy light. A wooden signpost mounted beside the bridge points toward the “Southern Upland Way,” a long-distance walking route. In the background, soft, rolling hills and forested slopes complete the peaceful, rural landscape.

A sunny view of the Palacio de Cristal in Madrid’s Retiro Park, partially obscured by lush green trees surrounding a tranquil pond. A tall water fountain sprays up on the right side, and ducks glide across the water near a tree growing from the pond’s center. The sky is bright blue with scattered white clouds.

A view from Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland, looking up toward the Old Town. In the foreground is the equestrian statue of the Royal Scots Greys regiment, featuring a soldier in uniform on horseback atop a large stone plinth with black commemorative plaques. Behind the statue, a lush park with blooming white and yellow flowers and trees stretches up the hillside. On the skyline are several notable buildings: the tall dark spire of The Hub (the former Victorian church now an events venue), and the turreted, gothic-style towers of the former Victoria Hall and adjacent buildings along Castlehill. The sky is overcast with a soft grey cloud cover.
