Nice, thanks for the report.

How do you like it? Those look cool.

Are there any music players that will play my mp3s and stuff but also let me play audio from youtube or spotify without logging in? On android I use Musify, which does this but is a little wonky.

I’m losing it. Is that JD Vance, or the SNL version?

You are a useful idiot. Russia could have chosen not to invade a country with whom they had a treaty specifically saying they wouldn’t.

https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Ukraine._Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

They didn’t get “in trouble” though there was definitely some drama. I would argue that Israel should have been disqualified under the rules requiring independent national broadcasters, the way Russia and Georgia were.

They spent years broadcasting the contest without a license and people loved it so much the state broadcaster even held voting just for fun. They only got an official broadcaster booth in 2012; before that they snuck their commentators in on press credentials!

In 2013 they submitted a short video about how much Australia loves eurovision that was played during the contest.

In 2014 they were invited to send an interval act, and they knew they had to really do it if it would get them an invite to the actual contest! They sent a good song and were invited to the 2015 contest! It was supposed to be a one off, but they keep getting invited.

It’s fun! Gotta say there’s not much Eurovision in the movie. Would have been fun to see more of the rules and semi finals and stuff.

Oh nice, I only knew about !eurovision@lemmy.world. Subscribed

Totally agree, and he performed it very well live! The story of the song is so good too. It’s about watching ESC as a kid with his parents, but more his parents have passed away and their old house burned down.

This is an excellent time to mention my best friend The Eurovision Song Contest! It’s the longest running international music contest show and it gets hundreds of millions of views.

Here’s last year’s crop of music videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmWYEDTNOGULUJYEhh-EUa32rEcHuNXO7

Croatia’s Rim Tim Tagi Dim is a real banger. It’s about the stress of moving to a richer country or city for work and losing your culture.

Italy’s La Noia is amazing. Angelina Mango’s live performances are stellar, and if she’s not huge internationally in a few years I’ll be super disappointed. Her new song (not part of the contest) Melodrama is exceptional too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqF0MSpPcj8

Switzerland sent Nemo, who became the first non-binary person to win the contest. It was said that if he could nail the vocals from the video in the live performance, there would be no stopping them. And they did! Amazing work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO8cQpGNplc

I have so many recommendations, if anyone wants more!

It’s recognized by the yoots as the worst state, so being Ohio is bad!

It’s worse than “mid”, which is meh.

Thanks for the catch, I thought I got all of them. Stay skibidi and not Ohio, my friend.

I have many gray hairs, but here’s what I know.

• Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.

• fax is “facts” - true. Often in the sense of agreement.

• Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences

• It’s giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.

• Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.

• Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.

• Tea - (n) gossip. (v) “spill the tea”

• Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don’t think this one makes much sense here.

• Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.

• Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike “Kobe”, which is a throw with aim)

That sounds awful, hopefully you get some rest!

Why not use liverwurst at that point? I guess it’s guaranteed gout.

“Post-Roman Briton” sounds like “Post Malone, American” moved.

Trebuchet, man!

If you ever see that guy, you better draxx them sclounce!

Some of each.
