I don't always agree with the decisions of Wikipedia's volunteer editors, but having learned that their decision on how to handle the James Somerton situation was to deem him non-notable and turn his article into a redirect to a brief writeup of Hbomberguy's plagiarism investigation – well, like I said, this may not be a good decision, but in context it's an extremely funny one.

Fuck, this may very well be the end of Eurovision as a cultural force in Europe.

What’s going on:

  • The Dutch artist have been showing some mild unease at the Israel presence there this year during the past week. The Irish ones have been forced to change their looks because it included the words “ceasefire” and “freedom for Palestine” in ancient gaelic script.
  • Yesterday, someone from the Israel delegation joked about the dutch artist’s father death (the Dutch song is dedicated to him) and there was “an incident” (undisclosed, but the rumor-mill says the Dutch guy may have punched the jokester)
  • Eurovision have disqualified the Netherlands from today’s final.
  • The Dutch broadcaster association (those who pick who to send to EV) posted this a few hours ago:
  • There has been protest within the Finnish public broadcaster asking for Finland withdrawal
  • The head of the political party who is the junior partner in the government of Spain is also calling for our withdrawal.
  • The Israeli delegation seem to have spent the week literally harassing anyone they perceive as critical, with several complains about their behavior already being published.
  • The Israeli song is one of the favorites to win, and if they do, next year Eurovision would be organized by them. If that happen, there is no way several countries wouldn’t just refuse to take part.

So yeah, there is a chance this may be it for the festival. Good job, Eurovision. Great fucking job.

Shit is going down HARD in Eurovision right now.We are hours from the beginning of the fest and in the last couple of hours:

  • The french artist stopped his song during the dress rehearsal today, gave a speech about peace, and left the stage
  • The Irish ones sent a press release asking the EBU to disqualify Israel for the comments their broadcaster had done about the Irish song
  • Both Ireland and Greece didn’t show up to the festival flag parade that kickstarts the show.
  • Norway’s artist who were going to be the spokesperson of the jury tonight announced she is declining to participate… An hour ago, about 8 hours before she would have to go live

transcript with translation from estonian:

bird: *grunts and walks on snow outside car window*

bird: *bites at camera and jumps into the car window*

person: *trying to block the woodgrouse with fully the entire arm* where are you coming? where? youre fully inside already! eaugh! where are you coming? where are you coming??

bird: *bites the person's arm*

person: ugh!! dont.. come in here!

bird: *bites person*

bird: *draws back and bites again*

person: [unintelligible] wanted to come in here....

bird: *bites*

person: okay, calm...calm...

bird: *bites*

person: be good now and please go back.. outside...

bird: *keeps trying to get inside the car*

[also it straight up sounds as if the woodgrouses grunting noises in the end sound like its saying "CHILDREN" (in english) with just absolutely murderous intent]

the current trend of "tumblr users embarrassing themselves by proudly announcing why they don't listen to any music made by black people" is really astounding.

i cannot help but think this is a direct result of liberal White Guilt and how people have interpreted "anti-racism" as form of cultural self-segregation - the kind of person who thinks trying to cook chicken curry is cultural appropriation, or sends white people anon hate for wearing a kimono (yes, this kind of discourse happened). like, "oh, no, i could never participate in this culture, i'd get my evil white hands all over it! it would be more Progressive if I only did White things."

if you're a poc you've seen this, i'm sure - this deer-in-the-headlights stare you can get from white people when you play music / show art / share a story / anything that is Racially Coded, this total refusal to actually engage with it out of fear that it is in some way Wrong for them to have any opinion on it. because they read somewhere that it's bad to use AAVE but the only lesson they actually learned from that is "gotcha, white people are not allowed to interact with other cultures as punishment for my White Crimes. this helps to fill up the gaping pit of my white guilt and makes me one of the Good People." this transforms their discomfort around non-white cultures (black culture, especially, i should add) into a kind of virtue

anyway if you are white and reading this. go listen to some fucking haliu mergia. ethiopian jazz. will knock your dick right off. go listen to rap or reggae or bollywood and have a genuine reaction to it - like, an actual, from-the-heart reaction. you are allowed to not like some of it. but you will definitely like at least a little. yes, you can compare it to lemon demon (or whatever) if that helps you get into it and that's your only point of reference. maybe don't say that part out loud. but don't, like, separate yourself from it, like you are seeing it in a museum and the only polite thing to do is go "ahh, huh, very interesting, so much culture here."

the thought of gideon nav forced to spend her summers working at harrow's failing family-owned pizza shop fills me with joy

"i wanna eat a cannoli"

harrow just keeps on being extremely catholic

"gideon nav, you are my only employee. i cannot conceive of a pizzeria without you in it"

look i know it was a bit but k2 managing to connect to this odd not nightmare king not cassandra makes sense to me.

kristen is Confident in cassandra, doubling down and connecting to her own needs of mystery. but what is in front of her is not cassandra fully. she is calling to an incomplete image.

k2 meanwhile is made to be unsure. she is kristen but not. she doesnt know where she stands with anyone, and then she comes up and sees kristen. but not just kristen but this amalgamation of their Goddess.

she sees kristen call to cassandra.

and she realizes that just like she is kristen but not. this is cassandra but not. kristen reaches to the love of her goddess, k2 reaches to the too much of the amalgamation.

she doesnt ask for kindness

she asks for the fix, even if it kills her. she didnt know who she is, who cassandra is in this moment, what will happen if she survives without magic that she can never gain back.

she reaches to the nightmare of the unknown

blind me god, she cries

she looks to the vulture, looks to the lasting memory that will be her even if she wasnt sure who she was

i dont think you heard me, blind me god
