The press is dying in #Canada (pop. 40 million+) and the US (pop 330M +). Here are the daily papers on the newsstands in #Ireland (pop. 5 million). Irish, English, etc. Dead jealous!
Sitting outside on a rare sunny day at a lovely pub in Bray, refactoring Kitten* to pull out the settings page sections into their own pages (and use Kitten’s new Streaming HTML workflow**) and enjoying a yummy pint of Tundra IPA.
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.
Groovy, strange #Estonia followed by the Irish satanist... Mr Peanut days his friend was going to throw garlic on their TV during her performance XD #Ireland
#Ireland brings a dark goth witch who performs something completely different, both for Eurovision as a contest and for what Ireland usually sends... but hey, we like the quirks!!
I wonder though, those blue-painted dancer men with horns on their forehead... are those common in Ireland? 🤔
At a friend's place where we are BOTH wearing our Måneskin concert tees to watch the #Eurovision finals and singing along to "Hooked On A Feelin'" like completely normal people.
#Spain's lead singer and those lace tights she's wearing are giving me "Cher showing off her butt tattoos on a navy ship" vibes. The beefy male dancers in fishnets and high heel knee high boots are amazing. And finger hearts! 😍
#Estonia jamming on those rustic lap harps (???) is just random enough to make me grin. And this deep death-metal singing next to Rockette-esque kicky dancing is fire!
#Ireland is fucking terrifying in a goth-y pagan ritual kind of way. TRANS FLAG BIKINI! 🤩
