Thank you to the person who kept me going 3/4 through my bike ride on the lake front. The challenge of keeping up is exactly what I needed today. 🚴

This is just the jury but can’t believe this ranking so far. Iceland with 0?!?!?

Omg. I love the Swiss deadpan of theses hosts. “Look at us, we have a desk!”

Iceland might be my second. Though I will say Luxembourg I really liked when seeing it staged 🇱🇺

I’m not sure it’s entirely a gimmick. But also the gimmicks are so lovely and camp.

I too would like a croque non binaire! #eurovision

Still my favorite this year I think

EBU: We don't like you using the word "Kant." Can you please tone it down?

Malta: sure ok.

#Eurovision

Omg omg the background screens and background dancers in serving from Malta. So good. 💋 also that might be the best response to the censorship. 🇲🇹

Also would love to see the request form for video filters at Eurovision. Ukraine’s soft dreamy look had someone here wondering what was wrong with their glasses.

And the pulled back hair

For both Poland and Greece it feels like the assignment was “find Michelle Visage”?

Erika Vikman sure has thing for mic stands. I wasn’t expecting a flying, pyrotechnic version but omg. 🇫🇮

Væb’s performance was as fun and irreverent as their song is 🚣🇮🇸

Remember Monday’s choreo is reminding me of Girls Aloud in all the good ways.

Also Estonia’s Eurovision entry making me feel bad for being racist against Italians is really something. ☕️

I might get tired of it but I kinda like the frame on the Eurovision stage

Luxembourg was fantastic. I had totally been sleeping on the song listening to it, but that staging and performance was fantastic 💃

I’m not sure who recommended it to me years ago now, but I am rather enjoying Embassytown by China Miéville. So to uh whoever that was, thank you?

Observing the 37th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal intrusion the only way I know how. By appearing on the Chicago Tonight Week in Review on WTTW Channel 11. I will leave my Max Headroom mask at home.

Whoa things are picking up here 🦋

The “Is this a butterfly” meme with Bluesky’s new butterfly logo as the butterfly, and the text “Is this Twitter?” at the bottom of the meme

i’m sure i’m not first, but how could i not

A photo of the Balbo Monument in Chicago with a chain link fence in front. The monument itself is a singular column on a wide pedestal. The inscription describes it as a gift from Mussolini, commemorating Balbo, given in the 11th year of Italian fascisim.

Apparently the Chicago monuments commission is totally cool with leaving up fascist monuments. But don’t worry, it’s protected by some ugly chain link fence!

Bought a replacement battery for some (large) wireless headphones, and in the box is a random PCB and I truly have no idea what it even is. Did it come with the battery? Is it a spare something past-me put in here?

Truly normal, human behavior here: "what even is this little PCB??"

what is the most underrated tool and why is it rsync
