You all get why Israel finished 2nd, right?
Israel marshals thousands of content creators, ads, etc, during Eurovision to game the voting. Quite literally Eurovision reduced personal votes from 20 to 10 because of Israel's "hasbara" (genocidal propaganda).
If you watch, support, or, as disgusting as it is, vote on Eurovision, you are an active participant in genocide. The UN charter is pretty clear on this

@static tell me about it. I swear they don't get it.
Yes, it's the "wrong" side, but it's the side we use, stupidly because of our cars
sortius
@static yeh, Aussies have no idea how to get on/off public transport. Trams are terrible here on busy days. People getting up after the tram stops, others trying to force their way on as others try to get off.
Not helped by the tourists lugging huge bags onto them 😖

Dear tourists (yes, you),
Walk. On. The. Fucking. Left. In. Australia.
Regards,
Every Aussie

A good rundown on the failure that is Eurovision.
The apolitical nature of things means they're being political with enforcement of political things.
Israel has no place in any international competition. Not now, not in the future. You don't get to openly commit genocide and walk away from it.
Including Israel is endorsing and whitewashing genocide; participating in Eurovision is participating in genocide:

@ryanc that's awesome, but also makes me ashamed for my cable filled house 😆

@skinnylatte The only time I'll say something is to help someone get visibility.
About the only one is for politics here in Victoria. Most put "VicPol", but that's for Victoria police, we use "SpringSt" (the street the parliament is on) instead.
Other than that, if it's spammy shit, block, otherwise just ignore it.
I get the context of your post. A real shitty move, and maybe they missed the point of the series they're so into

Stop backing the US and Israel.
They are unserious Nazis

What do people not get about retaliatory strikes?
If you're going to ignore international law and attack energy infrastructure, schools, hospitals, etc, you no longer get the protection of international law

"Attacking Iran avoided World War III"
Hahaha, this is World War III you fucking Muppet.
Then again, I'm pretty sure Hitler made the same excuses when invading the Low Countries

Look at these Nazi thug pigs. Burn Sydney to the ground until every one of them is charged:

People wonder why I'm so anti-rich, it's not because I'm jealous or anything, I'm fine being poor.
It's because the rich are anti-poor. They spend their lives trying to remove us from society, to force us to work for nothing, to force us to leave an area, all to make them comfortable.
The worst thing rich people do is force themselves into poor people spaces, change the rules, then exclude the poor:

@skinnylatte I've got a friend in Singapore right now, I can't recommend the hawker centres enough to them. Good to see younger people getting into it

Americans: We need to block out every swear word because it might harm kids.
Me: *takes kids to a bar for a beer/soft drinks where there's stickers saying "Fuck it, I'm going to Kent St" and much worse* I love taking my kids to queer bars, it helps them experience queer culture.
Swear words don't harm kids. Guns, ICE agents, trans hate, etc, harm kids

I dyed my daughter's hair red yesterday, so I've been calling her and her brother Pinky and the Brain. Neither got the joke.
So I put some Pinky and the Brain on yesterday, the first thing my daughter asks me?
"Is this a show that was on TV when you were alive?"

So, this all stems from a Zionist resigning in October.
Fuck the Adelaide Festival, and every piece of shit still part of it. The whole thing is a Zionist pro-genocide project now.
Any organisation that has Zionists on its board, or kowtows to Zionists, needs to be boycotted, publicly, and loudly. Enough, these genocidal maniacs do not get to have a voice in our society:

@skinnylatte I used to chew them all the time in Maldives when I was a kid. It's half the reason my teeth are fucked now.
Beetle nut, some beetle leaf, a clove, but no lime (as in limestone), because that would wreck my teeth; what a fool I was 😖
sortius
@halla @skinnylatte it's really a different taste to anything I'd had before, an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, it's quite addictive.
Plus, it's an appetite suppressant, so perfect for long voyages between islands in Maldives 😖
My dad didn't like me chewing it, but he couldn't really stop me, as you could buy pre-cut, flavoured, beetle nuts at the local corner store for a few rufiyaa 😆
sortius
@halla @skinnylatte hahaha, for sure. I did for months after I came back, but I was like that every time I came back from overseas as a kid.
I still pine for the cannabis in Cambodia 😆
