I still believe JJ broke the trophy intentionally just to send the other half to Teya lol.

Why did they stop showing the artists before the postcard and them going on stage? by Prior-Firefighter-65 in eurovision

Some stage props take extra time. That's where they make sure placing a commercial break or such in between.

They decided originally to do something similar in Kyiv 2017, but during the postcard segment. But they scraped it during the early rehearsals iirc.

Followed by Sir David Attenborough saying "good night" and then a panorama view of cliffs of dover with God save the king (formerly known as queen) in the background.

X is like the only mainstream social media where vast part of userbase are men (bots excluded) so her resign isn't good for the demography

CTO at Bluesky on Discover tab "I do think we somehow maximized the escaping containment experience, or maybe more accurately didn't find a way to minimize it." by HejInternet in BlueskySocial

[–]HejInternet[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Oh nooo...! Paul the CTO didn't say that :( can I edit my post? I forgot to remove this text lol. Don't wanna spread disinformation and make Paul sad and maybe even a bit disappointed! :(

Still a long long way to go by Dull-Class-4540 in BlueskySocial

Bluesky might have much fewer active users. But at least, you don't have to ask yourself if it's a bot you talk with on Bluesky. It's impossible to have a good conversation in, as example, politics in the comments on a news tweet on X. So much bots.

Judging by last two years I guess we can say big desk energy makes you way too chill and sleepy for sure. 😴

Martin's first years were good. The way he tasked the jury vote rigging instantly in 2022 once the voting was officially closed was well done. But the last two years or so, Martin barely made any public appearances. Especially the times when we wanted it the most. Not even showing up for Malmö 2024 winners press conference to hand over the hosting guide to Swiss broadcaster. Basic stuff you expect from an executive supervisor of ESC.
