cheers to the failure of the betting odds and pretentious prediction models to correctly guess the winner

the thing is, even if the landslide televote victory isn't enough for them to win, why would I put myself in front of that split screen situation again? I've been there, it feels like shit. It's not about the joy of whoever wins anymore and their fans, it's about the relief of who didn't (yet). martin green was right in his response to that nyt article that it was another story about who didn't win, but that's the contest they have now designed, the focus will never entirely be on the actual victory and it won't feel as celebratory as it should. and it's insane to me that I'm supposed to be rooting for the juries to be colluding to a) vote them down and b) vote for the same favourites. what the fuck kind of competition is this?? and then do this bullshit again, just somewhere else next year?? absolutely not

#do not watch and do not vote

happy eurovision week

this is the funniest shit I've read in a while

#not the ebu trying to solve things by pushing the problem to the side #hilarious if true #and asian participants already saying they don't want them either??#AH AH #(and I doubt /they/ would agree to move to the second rate contest)#(much worse for proper gander)#important to note we don't know if this is true #how reliable this information is #but reading it did make me laugh

have you seen the posts comparing the streaming numbers a week before the contest for the last few years? because lol - lmao, even

#even if the viewing figures go down (and they probably will considering who withdrew)#they'll find a way to spin it in a more positive way #but I'll know The Truth

ok so who are your favourite people still covering euro/vision, with a critical eye, but also post about it in a text based platform that is not twit/ter

#I find videos good for entertainment #but for information I prefer to read

and I had a birthday and didn't even notice

#I know I said I was gonna post again #and then I didnt #because the mood is gone #and I feel like I'm being baited by them #with the ''let's watch the 1967 edition!!''#''we're looking for the missing contests!''#and I don't like it #you can't just make me care anymore

Skibet Skal Sejle I Nat, Birthe Wilke and Gustav Winckler | Denmark, Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson Européenne 1957

In a change to the contest the year before, duos were allowed into the competition. Danish duo Birthe Wilke and Gustav Winckler shocked the audience with their passionate on-screen kiss, the longest in the history of the contest.

#do you think they ever imagined that 69 years later a micro-blogging platform on the internet #would look at this and say #''this looks like it could be adult content we must hide it''??#and the worst part is #they didn't even let me know #because I check sometimes #and going into the ''review flagged posts'' of the vintage blog #it shows me nothing #(there's about 10 eurovision gifsets of my main blog flagged)#(the only one that goes anywhere near NSFW content is the goodbye to yesterday music video)#(in which elina born does appear to be nude and wrapped on a bed sheet only)#(my Monaco 1971 gifset from over a decade ago that I couldn't find anywhere months ago is also there for some reason)#if I didn't think of this song because of that earlier post I when would I know it had been flagged??#if it doesn't appear on the page it is supposed to??#how many other posts has tumblr decided to hide because there's too much skin?? I guess??#and not even have the courtesy to tell me??

I asked if this was an art installation and a Danish person said "no this is quite a serious impedance"

you know even aside from the VERY warranted criticisms of Joanne and her despicable politics I think everyone's been really wondering what the fuck there is to do with this enormous HP series on HBO other than beat more money out of the dead horse. like, what is there to explore that hasn't been covered by the generally well-received and inarguably iconic movies? what fresh interpretation of the story justifies all that?

and I do not have to hand it to them, but I will say that I never in a million years could have guessed that one of their hot new character reimaginings was going to be taking the head of the blood purity house, the guy who torments his students beyond reason on a regular basis, the guy who has a specific hate-on for the protagonist because he wanted to fuck that kid's mom, the guy whose hair and nose are frequently remarked on to emphasize that he's a unpleasant and creepy-looking motherfucker—never would I ever have guessed that anyone would have come up "hey, what if that guy was Black?"

and they went through with it! deranged! and you can't even chalk it up to any notable effort to diversify the series or anything; I've checked! this cast is still white as shit! as far as I can tell this is the only Black person employed by the entire wizard school! whole rest of the staff, white as hell. couldn't even pretend they gave enough of a shit to cast any other Black actors or other actors of color. just made the biggest shithead there a Black guy and patted themselves on the backs. truly everything Joanne touches is so seething with bigotry it's unreal.

#the most baffling decision #wtf were they thinking #(they weren't thinking. they don't really care yeah I know)#little harry potter at his first meal at hogwarts:#ouchie! my scar hurts for the very first time and the only black teacher is staring at me??#an absolute insane choice #even if it turns out snape is vaguely working for the ''good guys''#(but just because the girl he was obsessed with happen to have been killed by the ''bad guys')#and it's not like this show will ever get past year 3 so hbo tv snape will never have a shred of... redemption? I guess??#an explanation why this terrible person happens to be doing one decent thing??#anyway
