The Burgas arena’s difference in capacity for concerts is HUGE. About twice what Basel’s arena had. Floor tickets should be abundant. #Eurovision

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

3-panel comic drawn in ink on bristol; the panels are all the same size and in one horizontal row, with a top caption saying "Every waking moment since I saw Eurovision 2026"
Panel 1 shows me, eyes closed and barely awake in a robe with a messy top bun while I open a can of "Gremlin Chow" for my two cats. There are three scraggly speech bubbles coming from me that say "My head.. my heart.. my body part.." which are lyrics from Sweden's Eurovision song entry for this year (admittedly a bop)
Panel 2 shows me vacuuming the filter on an air purifier at work, accompanied by a "VRRROOOM" SFX. My single speech bubble says "My head, my heart, my body part"
Panel 3 shows me licking the seal on an envelope at my desk, staring into the middle-distance with speech bubbles wandering around the top of the panel in segments: "My... head, my... heart.. my... body part"
Beneath the comic is my signature and the date this was drawn: Kat Baumann 5-19-26

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
