Folks keep saying #GA14 can’t change. But if you’ve been out here knocking doors like I have, you know something’s happening. There’s a growing Democratic movement in Northwest Georgia, and it’s powered by neighbors who want real leadership. We can win this.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

🇨🇭 Eurovision 2024 winner Nemo will be sending their trophy back to the EBU. "Eurovision says it stands for unity, inclusion, and dignity for all. [...] But Israel's continued participation [...] shows a clear conflict between those ideals and the decisions made by the EBU."

🇵🇹 17 musicians participating in Festival da Canção 2026 have issued a joint statement that they will not participate in Eurovision 2026 if they win the contest. “We do not condone the violation of human rights. And we resist with culture, with Portuguese culture."

The EBU absolutely deserves the consequences incoming in May. I won’t be watching (I’ll still watch national selections - there’s some great music out there)

📡 According to Ynetnews, Israel's #Eurovision 2026 participation was secured after a "months-long diplomatic campaign that unfolded largely behind the scenes". A coordinated effort involved KAN executives, government advisers, and Israeli president Isaac Herzog's residence.

🇽🇰 The third edition of RTK’s Festivali i Këngës starts tonight, with 20 entries in contention for the trophy! In case you don’t know much about it, we made a small thread explaining how the festival works. 🧵

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

How I would react to a country in the top 10 of the odds winning: 🇸🇪: Happy with it 🇦🇹: Happy with it 🇫🇷: Wouldn’t mind 🇳🇱: Wouldn’t mind 🇮🇱: Umm, no 🇫🇮: Wouldn’t mind 🇨🇿: Happy with it 🇧🇪: Woooo 🇪🇪: Eh 🇦🇱: HECK YES

How will I react if a country in top 10 of the bookies wins: #Eurovision 🇸🇪: YES! Äntligen 🐐 👑 🇦🇹: meh 🇫🇷: well deserved 🇳🇱: YES! Talk about a revenge! 🇮🇱: Hell no. Bye ESC… 🇫🇮: YES, get in Erika! 🇨🇿: why not? Bring it on! 🇧🇪: WOOHOO! Party at my place! 🇪🇪: Yay, it’s a bop! 🇦🇱: why not?

3. And a small percentage — not many — require help to use the toilet. What a horrific demonization of autistic people under the guise of trying to find the cause of autism. This is why Robert Kennedy Jr. is one of the most dangerous men in public health.

Post-EiC thoughts: -Lots of good performances (🇳🇴, 🇲🇹 , 🇩🇰 , 🇵🇱 , 🇦🇱 , 🇲🇪 , 🇫🇮 standouts) - 🇦🇲 may surprise in May - 🇲🇹 will Q and is definitely pulling a Citi Zeni - 🇩🇰 can Q - 🇬🇧 will get jury love (let’s hope the staging aligns) - Poor 🇩🇪 Tynna is cursed

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
