kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Sparks an aside… I’ve never quite understood how the 1UP mushroom and Toad people are supposed to be related/not-related in any way.

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men. There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

‘Representation matters’: Barbie launches first doll with type 1 diabetes
Doll with insulin pump and glucose monitor is latest in range designed ‘to enable more children to see themselves’ In Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, Barbieland is a haven of equality and diversity. But although the dolls have been around since 1959, it was only in 2019 that the manufacturer, Mattel, started selling Barbies with physical disabilities. Mattel has now launched its first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes, the latest addition to a range it says has been designed “to enable more children to see themselves reflected and encourage doll play that extends beyond a child’s lived experience”.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Audits won’t find anything ‘wrong’ but I suspect they could ask a simple question… is there one or two countries which gets an awful lot of 10-20 votes from people compared to others which just get 1 or 2? That’s the data needed.

If you were strongly motivated in some way to make a point about your country’s participation, and perhaps encouraged by leaders in your community, it doesn’t need a vast dark conspiracy or hackers… just a small effort.

Costs a Euro to vote online… for about €20k you could all but guarantee 12 points from the market… biggest barrier would be needing 1,000 credit cards, but most people have a few cards… you might only need about 250 willing volunteers.

The public Spanish televote data is actually insane. I assumed millions of votes were cast and it was a huge effort to mobilise people to make an impactful difference…a mere 145k votes cast IN TOTAL in the Spanish Televote. escxtra.com/2025/05/19/r...

The ONLY reason to have a #Eurovision voting system which allows multiple votes for the same country is greed/profit… but in doing so it makes it vastly easier for a small group of people to influence the vote… each one of them able to equal 20 normal voters (more with multiple phones, cards etc)

Jerry Daykin @jdaykin.bsky.social · 19/05/2025
Without diving too deep into the politics - it is an indisputable anomaly that Israel consistently tops the televote, even though a measure of popularity which is less easily influenced by a small determined group doesn’t recognise it’s popularity at all. Who votes for a song they won’t listen to?

🇮🇸 Icelandic broadcaster RÚV is the third broadcaster to request information from the EBU about their #Eurovision televote. "We will... request the same information from the EBU about the telephone vote as [RTVE]", said RÚV director Stefán Eiríksson.
