@jennyshalev @HeidiBachram @EBU_HQ This renders any criticism by Israel of the other juries meaningless.

[Ryan @ryanbryan]

@jennyshalev @HeidiBachram @EBU_HQ If your point is that juries should be professional and apolitical then any correlation to the televote is meaningless. Yes, the others punished Israel but their jury was equally unprofessional and political.

[Ryan @ryanbryan]

@jennyshalev @HeidiBachram @EBU_HQ How do you explain why the Israeli jury gave maximum points to Luxembourg then? Make sure your own backyard is in order before you go looking in anyone else's.

@hutcho66 I actually think London is the outlier here, not Melbourne.

@MikeyCycling @wilspin @BMWChoices Something is very wrong with your wilful ignorance in relation to those statistics.

It’s going to be awkward when Brisbane hosts the Olympics and thousands of foreign tourists discover the difficulty of offering food after 7:30pm in this weird city.

@SzMarsupial The power of TikTok (not even joking)

@DmitryOpines A cursory glance at any subreddit 100% supports this theory...!

[Dmitry Grozoubinski @DmitryOpines]

Part of the tech-bro to conspiracy-bro pipeline is the phenomenon of men who spent their formative years ignoring and disdaining anything but coding, gaming or tech now noticing politics and global affairs for the first time and refusing to believe this is how the world works.

@jonk That also looks a lot nicer than I remember it being!

@shi_fs @jpolly22 I'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of them in New York and the significant cultural influence the city has?

Apropos of literally nothing, I did a little analysis of #melfest host cities/towns, and it seems Lund is the largest city to have never hosted a show and Kiruna is the smallest to have hosted one.

@thehistoriann @adamliaw Forget this. No airline in 2023 is randomly upgrading you because of the way you dress. Period.

@jonk What goes in the bottle? 🤔

@EricBoehm87 Getting a visa is not a threat to your freedom, get a fucking grip. No one has any entitlement to visit any other country without adhering to whatever rules are in place. It's a privilege.

@jonk When will these tech companies realise that in 2023, we all know too much about their data practices to be voluntarily doing all our comms in a single app.

@taipan168 @noreasonspec I'm gonna bet nothing. It's nothing more than the usual hands-across-the-Tasman puff piece.
