And now, a Champions League-type thing of just clubs from cities that have hosted Eurovision. I tried to include multiple clubs from the same city if it hosted more than once.

Continued below:

Y'all...the ENTIRE 2019 final is available to watch worldwide.

You know what that means, right?

I CAN WATCH "SAY NA NA NA" WHENEVER I WANT!

I keep randomly discovering post-2015 performances that aren't geo-blocked for whatever reason. "Discoteque," "Tick-Tock," "Viszlát nyár," now "I Can't Go On." And there might be more! Stay ever-vigilant, fellow non-Europeans!

Presented for the approval of the #Eurovision BlueSky fan community (and @escgabe.com cuz I feel like he'd get a kick out of it): my #ESC250, in all of its bizarro, hyperfixated glory.

See, the trouble with Slovenia being the one to try and stand up against Israel participating is that they are tiny and not particularly successful, so their threatening to walk doesn't carry much clout. Now, if a GROUP of broadcasters threatened to walk, like in 2022, then maybe we'd have something

Jesus, that explains it!

(OK, apparently they subsequently said no, not yet, still figuring shit out but THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME STOP THE CAP)

For comparison, here's the last time every country received 12 overall, from either a televote or jury, in either a SF or a final:

I was in a math class with Julia Garner. She showed a trailer for Martha Marcy May Marlene to the class. Even back then, I was like, "Imagine if she winds up becoming a famous actress and I can say I was in a class with her." Two Emmys later...

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Zenyatta Mondata!
What a wonderful phrase!

This is where I'm at too. It's no "Kick, Push" or "Bitch Bad" but I can't deny it went hard at the time and was a staple on my workout playlist(s) for a long while. Plus, as you pointed out at the time, a song that builds its hook on the masterpiece that is "Float On" can't be ALL bad.

Hey, shout-out to them and to the other non-league teams in that area like Ft. Lauderdale. That's the part of Florida I typically enter from when I'm coming in on vacation, and I love seeing the actual people and clubs from that area get a spotlight. Inter Miami steals all their thunder!

This makes SO MUCH SENSE. I was literally wondering to myself why Sergio's getting snatched up by Ireland and Austria when he could be helping his own country not suck?
