Thought it would go better with the juries than the televote, an absolute snoozefest of a song for me

I wonder if leaning into the aboriginal style even more would've helped. It ended up being unremarkable in a very wild semi. My personal favorites are Norway, Ireland, Greece, Switzerland, Estonia and Croatia. Czech Republic and San Marino were fun too, although it kind of annoys me that San Marino is effectively working as a Eurovision "hired gun" in a sense—getting acts all across Europe without regard for their relation to San Marino or even Italy.

could be, I was shook at first

lol, I almost placed the news in the poker players thread at first

Steve Albini dead at 61. Fuck. https://pitchfork.com/news/steve-albini-storied-producer-and-icon-of-the-rock-underground-dies-at-61/

Gary Floyd, a.k.a. Elizabeth Taylor Floyd, former singer of hardcore band the Dicks, passed away after a series of health related issues at the age of 71. https://www.facebook.com/wattfrompedro/posts/pfbid02FHP1sAyYgjWUWXXrunBj3Z2zL16L2LNyS4u1EyTTwbtD5RUdND6UixToB2XidKGTl

Coincidentally, another minister's vehicle has been involved in an accident, this time it was Haim Biton's from the ultra orthodox Shas party, his father was seriously hurt, and his mother and personal driver suffered minor injuries. Biton himself was not riding the car when the accident occurred.

Probably something in the likes of 'Please stop crossing on red lights before you'll turn into a thrift shop Jörg Haider'

After his previous 78 traffic violation it was bound to happen, sadly he had a seat belt on this time (he was captured on camera driving without it many times in the past)

Weird, this is not mentioned anywhere in local news. They usually mention that he was targeted even if not hit.

Jai Johanny Johanson is now the last surviving original member of the band.

I agree, living in Israel, I'm going to have to admit that there are far too many genocidal freaks lurking around, but most of the people are kinda apathetic towards the whole thing and silently accept their government's actions and one could argue that this is even worse. Some of them balantly argue that they 'lost all their empathy to the people of gaza', some of them try to find excuses, others are just ignorant to what their government is doing within its own borders and in other places. There was an extraordinary notion of revenge during the first few months that crossed barriers to the so-called centre-left, even some of the biggest opposers of Netanyahu didn't think for a second that they should refuse to participate, even until this very moment.

I don't remember if it was mentioned in this article, but there was a low ranking militant that went close to WCK's vehicle (but backed up before it started moving), this caused the car to be marked, and the intelligence decision was to allow up to 20 uninvolved casualties to take him down.

It will make much more sense after reading this piece https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

Some speculate that this might be a cover-up for something entirely different (the so-called Hernia was discovered during a 'routine check' he had on Sabbath, in a hospital that runs according to the Jewish law and never even had those to begin with), the surgery is also performed by a colorectal surgeon that specializes in surgery of the colon.
