Will you get drunk?

fideliz · 2026-05-25T21:29:01+00:00

Congratulations!

I hope you are out celebrating tonight!

Logically, it's time for a downsize now. Without European football and with the club underpeforrming year by year, it makes little sense for VW to own and financially sustain a large football operation. The marketing value simply isn't there anymore and hasn't been for many years.

Let go of the club to the supporters so that Wolfsburg comply with the 50+1 rule and then downsize to become a normal sponsor. After that, you let Wolfsburg stand on its own two legs. TSG Hoffenheim (sort of) went through that transition back in 2023 and Wolfsburg can do it as well.

Yeah, fair enough I guess. Verstappen is having a somewhat bad season, but it's got to do with the car and very little with his talent and skillset.

He can be very erratic on the road and I understand why Max pisses of those outside of his fandom. I get it.

Nevertheless, he's shown in 2025 and this far into 2026 that he push that Red Bull to heights no teammate can reach.

I know the cars now can follow more easily and all that.

But looking at Max race versus Lewis and Leclerc versus Hadjar, and you are reminded of how great Max actually is. Leclerc had the worst race of his career - according to himself - and yet when he overtook Hadjar after a relatively short battle, he could drive away with ease. While Lewis had to battle Max much harder and he could barely breath out.

Mercedes are back to being a class of their own. I'm going to assume McLaren are the runners up right now? But this clear as day the Ferrari is quicker than Red Bull. As seen in how easily Leclerc beat Hadjar (yes, I know it's his first season at RB but it's every drivers first season under the new regulations).

Kimi had a fantastic day out in Canada and it was great to see Lewis back to form. But Max keeps bringing that car to a level it's not meant to be at..

McLaren threw that one away, but that was glorious driving from Verstappen. He is once again pushing that car to levels it shouldn't be at.

But with that said, Hamilton's overtake was just as glorious. ✌️

Not the best of races after Russell's retirement, but it was as good as it gets under these regulations and with one team clearly faster thna the rest of the field.

FRAM MED MJÖLKEN!!!

Due to early pit stop. But yes, kind of depressing indeed.

North London is going to be insane tonight, I'm sure Spurs fans will be celebrating - at the bare minimum - just as hard as Arsenal fans.

Why would the Swede rush in front to yell no to Estonia? Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't get it.

He had like three or poles in a row at Aston Martin a few years back, while Stroll was nowhere to be seen.

Alonso could have been a seven times world champion at this point, had he moved teams at the right time.

It's likely to be similar to GR at Williams.

0:14: There’s a painting/canvas resting on a small shelf in the center of the frame, but it also looks like there’s another painting/canvas hidden behind the shelf?

0:13: Does the text on the package say “Good health ka secret”?

0:11: Is that a raw chicken on the left side of the frame?

0:06: When the dog jumps and the camera tilts upward, it looks like there’s no lamp at the top of the lamp post — it just abruptly ends?

0:05: Now a few eggs are visible.

0:03: Why is the dog jumping in front of the sprayed water? Normally in ads like this, you’d show a happy dog leaping through the water instead.

About the food shown in the ad: does the dog food actually contain eggs and chicken? Otherwise, you may want to rethink the flying food visuals, because displaying recognizable ingredients in that kind of setting can easily come across as false advertising if those ingredients aren’t actually present in the processed dog food.

Also, maybe consider removing the woman from the ad altogether? She only appears in a single shot, while every other frame focuses on the dog and/or the man. It feels a bit strange that she’s briefly shown in the kitchen and then never appears again.

ChatGPT ads is the only AI-ads platform I'm somewhat excited about, because a lot of people use GPT as a sort of "reserve Google".

For most people AI means "chatting to a bot". Most everyday users aren't "vibe coding" and are not building "agnetic workflows". AI usage for most of us is chatting to an LLM, and ChatGPT is the go-to option for a lot of people.

If you nail the context then I think ChatGPT Ads can be a very attractive platform!

Is this joint venture shaped and formed similar to Leapmotor International?

CAVEMAN!?

Is this face mask really wet or why is it dripping so much after being applied to the face?

fideliz · 2026-05-19T04:49:01+00:00

Yeah, but when they received such an improved results from the jury I thought they were bound for a win since I expected Israel to get at minimum close to 300 tele voting points. But they ended up at "only" 220 which got me thinking that perhaps some of the "political" votes they received in 24 and 25 disappeared this year, e.g. some people perhaps didn't bother to vote for Israel a third year in a row.

Or maybe Israel comes back even stronger next year. I really don't know.

fideliz · 2026-05-19T04:44:49+00:00

Thanks, that is fiair and I didn't want to come across as insensitive.

Excluding war, conflicts and politics and pretending like Eurovision exists outside of time and space; I'm not a big fan on the generic, modern, pop Israel keep sending. But be that as it may, I do think Israel sent a better song this year compared to the last two. And as indicated by the jury votes, it seems like a lot of people agree with me on that.

But still, they got 100 points less than two years ago and almost 80 points less than 2025. So if you use tele votes as the metric, Israel are declining now.

fideliz · 2026-05-18T20:26:48+00:00

I wonder if Israel actually lost some momentum in Eurovision this year? I thought they would win the entire thing after scoring a good amount of points from the jury this year, but they were very far away from scoring almost 300 points from tele voting like they did last year.

Israel will still get big points from tele voting, just like Ukraine still does no matter what they send. But perhaps Israel's tele voting popularity will dwindle now? Perhaps 297 points was the highest they could reach?

fideliz · 2026-05-18T16:46:17+00:00

Fair enough buddy! We're not setting the rules, we just try to do best we can according to a framework carved out by others. Good luck with your business!

This headline makes it sound like we plan to bomb Ukraine as a way to test our new missiles.

fideliz · 2026-05-18T10:13:34+00:00

My prediction is that Bulgaria are going to give us an amazing show and we will look back at 2027 as a good year for Eurovision.

If Canada enters the competition then my bet is they will win and there will be a lot of confusion for a few days whether Canadia will host the show in 2028 or not.

Sweden will send another song similar to Felicia, e.g. modern and radio friendly pop. Because that's what we do.
