Lady Gaga on artists coming out as Trump supporters: I think that specially as a female artist, its a betrayal to all the queer people that helped you get to where you are, your stylists, your creative directors, your make up artists, the majority of our teams are queer people.

I hate that this is the timeline she’s forced us into. But goodbye and good riddance. She made this bed. Now rot in it.

Anoche nos enteramos de que la votación sobre Eurovisión no fue espontánea sino que Israel maniobró en la sombra durante meses. Lo que parecía un debate democrático en Ginebra era solo una farsa cocinada en despachos. El principal argumento de UER-EBU ha quedado destrozado: la…

Brazen, open political interference at the highest level. There will be no sanction of course.

📡 According to Ynetnews, Israel's #Eurovision 2026 participation was secured after a "months-long diplomatic campaign that unfolded largely behind the scenes". A coordinated effort involved KAN executives, government advisers, and Israeli president Isaac Herzog's residence.

The EBU conditioned a vote on Israel’s participation on rejecting the new rules. The contest’s own integrity held to ransom. And that tells you all you need to know.

A reminder that despite reports in the media, 🇩🇪 ARD/SWR have NOT said they will withdraw if Israel is excluded from #Eurovision. Same applies to 🇦🇹 ORF and 🇮🇹 Rai for that matter.

A Donegal man was this morning charged with 28 counts of sexual assault against 3 little girls. They're wrecking Dublin, not Donegal, because none of this mob care how many thousands of women or girls are sexually assaulted if a foreigner isn't involved. Pathetic bullies.

The M&S story has exposed the tactics of the right wing press. Their strategy is to try and hound trans people out of their jobs by pressurising their employers. Fortunately M&S know their employment law and have not succumbed to the pressure.


Stephen McConnell reposted

If anything, this manufactured M&S trans panic lays bare the absurdity & cruelty of anti-trans obsessives. Spreading wilful misinformation about a non-incident to criminalise an innocent worker simply for appearing to be trans is both disgraceful and dangerous.

Once again, a song that is 19th in streaming does not WIN the televote by a landslide unless there is something seriously wrong with the system.
