Also hey! Our very own Erik penned an article for @escinsight.com about that phrase we all know and love, "United By Music." Has it gotten more apt? (Spoilers: hahahahaha no) escinsight.com/2026/06/02/t...

A weird observation from this year's Eurovision - the top 10 in Belgium's televote is remarkably similar to the top 10 of the *full* televote. All 10 countries are the same, and even the order is really close. Still trying to calculate just how unusual this is, but for now - neat!
Needed to do some warmup inks and I got this idea from my friend Knife Jill who has been similarly cursed by Sweden

A camera problem during the longest shot of a song was dismissed as a "minor technical issue" by the same people who are in charge of preventing this exact sort of thing from happening. Absolutely gutted for Czechia here. #Eurovision
SONG 24: ROMANIA 🇷🇴 Romania is the only country with an exactly 75 percent qualification rate (they're 12/16). Also - unsurprisingly, this is the first time the word "choke" has been in the title of a Eurovision song. #Eurovision | #Romania
