I've been browsing various Eurovision content creators on YouTube and elsewhere. I've yet to see any of them with a good word to say about the decision not to ban Israel. Most of them thought the contest was damaged irreparably.

My favourite part of Jonathan Gullis Wikipedia page is the nickname the kids had for him as a teacher.
Personally, I find it hard to believe they didn't also have much worse names for him than that.

I'm still not sure if I'll be watching Eurovision next year due to the normalising of a certain country committing genocide. But here's my #ESC250 votes anyway.

Terrible news. My not-so-little Regina is having to be enrolled at the weight clinic at the vets, because she keeps getting chonkier.
Pray for her at this non-snacky time.

Snacking aside, the stage production is surprisingly high quality for a very small, very poor country that half the world doesn't even recognise. Kosovo really wants in to Eurovision.
