This is my castle display above my desk. I may extend the shelf eventually so I can add the medieval town square and space things out a bit more.

A Eurovision ballad that still touches my heart is the German entry from 2018. Its about his dad who passed away when the singer was still a kid/teenager.

The nationalities that have bought the most tickets to the shows. Swedes make sense since we are hosting but Americans are a surprise.

Cool.

Got a question.

If you are transgendered and change your gender at a later date (think 20s or older), do the surgery, take the hormone pills, etc, are you obligated to get a new passport photo, or can you keep the same one until it expires?

(It can be answered from any country. I'm not trans, just curious how it works with government paperwork bullshit).

I wish I knew but I dont. I would assume you need to get a new one in Sweden though because changing gender gives you a new personnummer (social security number kinda). And they take a new photo when you make a new id.

W for Sweden

Agreed! Im glad it passed. Seemed very uncertain until the vote actually took place how it would go.

Must be nice having so many parties

It is. Cuz even smaller parties get some wins in Government coalitions.

It will now be easier to change your gender from a legal standpoint (what it says on your ID etc). This will make our law on the issue more similar to the other Nordic countries.

234 MPs voted yes, 93 voted no and 21 were absent.

The four opposition parties (Socialdemocrats, Greens, Far-Left and Neoliberals) voted yes as well as two Government parties (Conservatives and Liberals).

The Christian Democrats and the Governments support party the Sweden Democrats (Far-Right) voted no. One SocDem and one Conservative broke with party lines and voted no as well.

Thanks for the information you guys <3

I was disappointed when Gothminister didn't make it, but Bambie Thug competing this year makes me happy.

Hope they do well.

Awesome

FF_Redux posted...

We playing tomorrow so gonna see if its ok to change date, but I dont want to change it if its a hassle for others. I could try to avoid spoilers and watch it the next day but it wont be the same.

Was it possible to change date?

So it is the final countdown?

Yeeeeah

I hope Joost wins and happy hardcore becomes a thing in anime dubs again because of it.

I prefer Baby Lasagna from Croatia and Nemo from Switzerland but Joost will do well imo.

That is indeed a great moment. I was actually in the audience that year, 2010 in Norway. Two friends and I managed to get tickets. Soooo much fun!

Dark is truly amazing all the way through imo. And as others have said, great ending that makes sense.

Why are there so many non-European countries allowed in Eurovision

Full fledged EBU-membership.

Australia isnt a full member so they need to keep getting invited. They first joined for the 60th edition in 2015 since they have been airing Eurovision for decades.

just post the dates man you're killing me

May 7th, 9th and 11th.

Reality is way better sometimes

Hell yeah

What Americans think Eurovision is vs reality lol kinda true

https://youtube.com/shorts/J_nGvl4-Z6k?si=3PifFskNunra3c17

It got a bit better but damn Im sad. Make it stop CE.

I am on the final episode and it is so fucking sad. Dex and Emma finally are together and happy and then she just goes and gets hit by a car and dies. And Dex spiraling back into his alcoholism :(

Lets see if the second part of the final episode lightens up a bit

The upcoming Barad-dur set seems cool AF too but shouldnt spend too much money on Lego. I need new balcony furniture

This bill is really causing a huge stir. I keep seeing opinion pieces for and against from all over the political spectrum. The pro-pieces tend to refer to personal freedom regardless of ideology.

How inflammatory will the Israel song be

Very. The first version of it was not approved by the EBU because it had very political lyrics. Now it is a bit more subtle but their participation is not welcomed by many.

28 days to Semifinal 1.
30 days to Semifinal 2.
32 days to the Grand Final.

The countries with arrows will perform in that slot but are automatically qualified for the Final.

Sweden as reigning champions and host country while France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK are the so called Big 5 who fund a big portion of the EBU (the TV organisation that owns Eurovision).

TERS? Is that a type of TERF?

Ops, yeah, TERF.

Tanthalas posted...

I love how the opposition to the bill are mostly using budget arguments instead of the real reason.

Especially that it is Right-wing opposition to the bill who say that. The Left-wing opposition is using more TERS-ish language.

What other show would you compare this show to in terms of tone?

That is a great question. I guess the absurd segments are similar in tone to some parts of White Lotus, but turned up to eleven. But I think that The Regime is a fairly unique show, be that good or bad.

Prestoff posted...

The rotten tomato score scared me, but I've been hearing good stuff about it from some circles I'm in so I might give it a shot.

You totally should. Watch the first episode. If you dont like it then you can stop but hopefully you will enjoy it.

The sixth and final episode came out today. They have released one per week.

Kate is brilliant as Chancellor Elena Vernham, who is a completely demented dictator in a made up Central European country. The show is funny in a dark and absurd way.

Yeah, all the straight people should stop rubbing their sexuality in everyones faces.
