Sweden is one of the biggest front runners for the winner, and Loreen is unquestionably a great performer, but the whole thing feels perhaps a bit too calculated, and the song still isn’t quite on the same level with Euphoria. And those nails…#eurovision #ESC

Albania brings in the whole family business, literally. Song isn’t bad, but not a winner, either.#eurovision #ESC

Finland’s entry starts up like a poor man’s Rammstein pastiche, but it has the catchiest chorus of them all this year, and the performance gets even crazier towards the end. The pink human centipede…#eurovision #ESC

Yeah, it’s not technically the best singing, but the crowd does seem to love it.#eurovision #ESC

Czechia has a great style with the all pink outfits and the killer ponytails, but I wish they would have left out the gratuitous English from the song.#eurovision #ESC

Australia, everyone’s favourite honorary Europeans, with a decent synth rock song. And a car on stage.#eurovision #ESC

Belgium has a big hat, and the song isn’t terrible, but it’s an utterly average Eurovision fare that comes thirteen to a dozen.#eurovision #ESC

Armenia has a dance number interlude, too. And tilts the entire stage.#eurovision #ESC

Moldova often sends in my favourite performances, and this year is no exception. The costumes! The horn hairdos! The epic flute faun!#eurovision #ESC

Ukraine, despite everything, does not really do it for me this year. There were some playful things done with the background animations, but even those were a little off.#eurovision #ESC

Norway’s singer has stolen her outfit from MCU’s Loki. And mashed together two completely different songs.#eurovision #MCU #ESC

Now we’re talking! Germany bringing in industrial metal, with one of the most outrageous costumes of the year, and this year that is really saying something.#eurovision #ESC

The Berlin #lion is most likely a boar. But, it’s understandable, really. Europeans have a long and proud tradition of not having the faintest idea of what a lion looks like.

This is probably a highly unpopular opinion, but I… kind of miss the pandemic lockdowns. Paradoxically, there was a feeling of community in the isolation, “we’re all in this together”, a ton of creativity with the solutions for communication, collaboration, and even entertainment such as late night talk shows, as well as sense of hope for the environment with much reduced air traffic and such. All of that is gone now.

What does it bode for 2024 that one of the absolute worst movie sequels of all time takes place in it?

Today I built the Dark Falcon. A nice build, with several techniques that improve a lot on the older versions, and certainly an imposing colour scheme. Too bad many of the important details are stickers, which I did not apply. But I did get this primarily for the minifigs, particularly Darth Darth Binks and Darth Rey...#Lego #StarWars
