Last #eurovision thoughts of the season. #france should have won - a better song and better sung. #norway deserved more points. #unitedkingdom tried to make up for a so-so ditty with incredible staging, but I'm not sure the sweaty-sexy side of it worked well (but it could just be that it wasn't aimed at me). #netherlands were missed (the song, anyway, we'll see what has to be said about the singer) #ireland was still my favourite and for bonus points the singer seems to be a nice person too.
#Norway was robbed #unitedkingdom got more points than I expected given their 'lets have a video about gay sex in a toilet.. that'll win them over' idea.
No idea how #greece got points.. generic song, poor set on the night. #croatia won the public vote, and I feel it was the more interesting song.. but the judges disagreed.
The abba thing was absolute cringe. What I thought was impersonators was apparently some kind of AI thing.. but what was that even about? They didn't even sing..
#Norway taxes its #fossilfuel industry and offers free #university degrees to students, while #Australia subsidises fossil fuel expansion and imposes high costs on university education for its youth. Budget allocations reflect choices and priorities, revealing significant differences between the two nations.
Is the government taking more from students through #HECS than it collects from the #Petroleum#Resources Rent Tax? #prrt#auspol
The mats are waiting for today's deep meditation participants. After today, the focus will be on my retreat in Luxembourg. Already 7 participants registered for my meditation in the park session. I'm excited to meet them soon. Fingers crossed for good weather.
#Norway : I must confess, I hadn't listened to Gåte's song before semifinal 2... but damn, its a powerful song, a powerful performance, amazing vocals and especially really great lights. Very spooky goth-witch (I wonder if they have exchanged favorite brew-recipes with Ireland?)
@ohmu I missed it, so just pretending it didn't exist. Which is quite hard, because my Mastodon timeline is full of photos 😆 Anyway, I live in #Norway, I have seen the #NorthernLights before.
