Graham Norton trying to hold in his salty comments while on points duty
for all of you who don't understand why Croatia is GENIUS:
"mama kupila traktora" ("mom bought a tractor") is a reference to lukashenka's gift to putin for his anniversary - a tractor
"trajna-nina, armageddon-nona" - nonsensical, nursery-rhyme-like fragment with the word "armageddon" in it (because for SOME PEOPLE, armageddon (= nuclear threats) is just like a child-play)
"mama ljubila morona" ("mom kissed a moron") - "mama" is actually Mother Russia. I don't think I need to explain who's the moron.
"mama, ja se idem igrat', mama, idem u rat ("mom, I'm going to play, mom, I'm going to war") - self-explanatory
"onaj mali psihopat, mali, podli psihopat" ("that little psychopath, that little, vile psychopath") - if you know who's the moron, it's also self-explanatory
their costume - mixing military-style uniforms with make-up and skirts - actually makes fun of russia's anti-lgbt+ policies :)
anyway vote for Croatia y'all
I always forget how passionately I hate the jury votes
The five horsemen of Eurovision

Jake Peralta: A Mood
personally i think there should have been at least one episode where sokka collects aang and zuko and is like, “looks like we’re running low on supplies. time for a GUYS-ONLY field trip. three days of hunting and fishing and polishing our swords. y’know, manly warrior stuff. (aang, sotto voce: actually sokka i’m a vegetarian as you know–) you girls have fun sitting around braiding your hair and talking about your crushes” and then the entire episode is just zuko and sokka lying around by a river, plucking blades of grass and staring up at the stars confiding in each other their deepest feelings and most secret insecurities while aang braids flower crowns, and whenever the screen cuts back to katara and toph and suki, they’re fighting and screaming and hacking away at river pirates and evil spirits and legions of assassins and hired mercenaries with swords. you know, as girls do.
and when the boys finally drag themselves back to camp (they stayed up way too late discussing what true leadership really means and whether or not power always corrupts) they find suki and toph and katara lounging around with black eyes and fresh bruises and bloodstained weapons and sokka shrieks, “what were you guys DOING while we were gone???” and karata just shugs innocently and says in her sweetest voice, “oh, you know. just girly things”
they are absolutely still wearing the crowns and they don’t have a single fish to show for their efforts
“don’t let it bother u” baby i’m gonna be bothered by this for the next 10 years
The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist
can adults have their own fucking space?
a lot of people are misunderstanding this post. minors arent taking away your spaces. the internet is not being made safer for children, it is being sanitised for advertisers.
And also: minors’ spaces are being taken away.
When I was a kid, “barbie.com” looked like this
But now, if you type “Barbie.com” you’re taken immediately to Mattel’s online shop, surrounded by nothing but “shop now” links and toy collections.
Disney channel’s website is now “Disneynow.com” which still has games and shows appropriate for kids, but is aimed towards a younger audience as it combines Disney Jr and Disney Channel properties, and the look of the entire site is very juvenile and not very appealing to kids in the tween and young teen demographics.
Nick.com has been similarly streamlined and is focused primarily on streaming its shows, and the only games still left are 10 apps that can’t be played on browser.
Kid-friendly sites like icarly.com, Poptropica, Club Penguin, Neopets, Webkinz etc used to be insanely relevant and popular spaces built for kids and tweens.
Now, kids are being funneled into less moderated, more exploitative, and more public spaces like Roblox (its dangerous and exploitative nature exposed in these videos from People Make Games: (x) (x)), Fortnite (known for its gambling and microtransaction issues), and social media sites like TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter.
My elementary aged cousins spend their time on Roblox, YouTube, and some less than reputable game sites that are full of ads and stolen/reposted/reskinned games. My sister was on Musically/Tiktok and Twitter in middle school. They don’t have the same options for having fun online that I did when I was a kid, especially not when they get too old for nickjr and disneynow.
The internet has been condensed into about 5 popular sites that are full of ads, and it’s not fair to anyone.
When I was younger there were a pile of options for kid-safe entertainment online. I used to go into the library to play bejeweled and neopets. I had bebo and Facebook and I think I had a MySpace or a WordPress. Neopets. These days my online presence is basically Tumblr and AO3. Everywhere else seems to be selling something, usually me.
I had medals for most of the islands on poptropica years ago, back when you could count paywalled islands on one hand. I logged on a couple years ago for nostalgia, and now most of the islands are paywalled. I think that was when the realization really hit me.
No places on the internet for kids, no places on the internet for adults, just four websites that try to sell you things
I’m probably going to see this in the new posts section reaaal soon
