⚔️I've known and admired Chrys for a long time, and I'm so excited to see the progress she's made through this Kickstarter. If you're into queer fantasy #TTRPGs, or swords & sorcery, you've only got 48 hours left to back this! ⚔️

Here is my fruit:

Because of social dynamics, how fun a TTRPG isn't that good of a metric of the quality of a game; you can have fun with the right people and *any* game. A better way to determine a game's quality:

How consistently does it honor what it promises?

J.F.C. I don't think I was breathing for the last few minutes of that vote. What in the ACTUAL was going on with the audience votes? There's no WAY Switzerland got 0 and That Country got nearly 300. No WAY.

The national juries must've been watching different Italy and France entries to me. And what is UP with poor Iceland being the only nul pointsers?!? They deserved better🙄 #Eurovision

Croatia's Baby Lasagna vs Finland's Käärijä in a videogame styling - song of the night, 100%, should win everything #Eurovision

Very sweet song from Switzerland, but in completely the wrong competition #Eurovision

Flipping the brakes on Greece's pier wheels alone must take more than 35 seconds. How DO the backstage crew do it? Mighty props to them! #Eurovision

Germany's staging feels very Berlin. Also, *obsessed* with those boots. #Eurovision

Dunno what Poland is saying, but I admire the way she's saying it. Would've been cooler if she'd been riding the dragon, but has GoT copyrighted that? #Eurovision

Good to see a return to singing in your own language, and the costume change. Lot of #Eurovision Bingo people willl be very drunk tonight.

I'd swear that's a U2 song Lithuania are singing. #Eurovision

Surrealing in the Years: Kneecap are NOT the story. And yet. It’s easier for powerful people to talk about Kneecap than it is for them to talk about Israel.

"Surely, the same Micheál Martin who was just a few weeks ago japing about Ireland’s housing crisis in the Oval Office with a bona fide fascist should have some empathy for statements made during a performance."

This week's Surrealing in the Years.
