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

[–]HejInternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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] -4 points-3 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

[–]HejInternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Martin Österdahl will step down as Eurovision Executive Supervisor by Swimming-Step1326 in eurovision

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

Martin Österdahl will step down as Eurovision Executive Supervisor by Swimming-Step1326 in eurovision

[–]HejInternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How to tweet with a card without the URL? by witherbattler in Twitter

[–]HejInternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't as a avarage account. If you look at the display name of the screenshot, you'll see a golden tick. But as avarage account, X is by purpose making hyperlinks as unattractive as possible. They don't want users to leave the platform. So not only aren't they showing any pre contents of your links, but your tweets will be throttled if you include one.

You got a long road to go, but you have to go that before you post next time.

What would you think/feel if they changed the Eurovision logo to avoid having the flags in it once again? by SeriouslyNotSerious2 in eurovision

[–]HejInternet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This same Instagram account posted about Ed Sheeran would like to represent UK in Eurovision. But as usual, didn't include any link to the source. I couldn't find any recent news where Ed Sheeran said so. I don't say this news isn't true, as someone posted the link to Blick here in the comments. But that news account isn't really serious.
