You gotta wonder what Grindr in Madrid and Barcelona is like this week, when half of gay Spain is in Benidorm right now! 🇪🇸 #BenidormFest #BenidormFest2026 #TheNewBigFive

Probably my first time watching an NF show on a bus crossing an international frontier (that shouldn't exist but whatever lol), but when you have tickets for a musical in Dublin at 14:30 and #Melodifestivalen starts at 19:00, halfway through the journey back to Belfast, things have to be done!

People from outside Ireland are always shocked by how many Irish ppl dislike him. I think it’s a sense that where the billionaire lectures ppl on issues he’s not perceived as following his own advice. I remember years ago when he… [1]

Made the jump to #Tidal a few months ago, and my old Spotify account got wiped a few days back. But of course I couldn't wipe it before I'd reconstructed my Mega Playlist of (almost) every #Eurovision entry since 1956! If you're also an ESC Tidal guy/gal/they, come check it out! 🥳

Screenshot from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. My avatar is standing in the plaza, a large countdown clock is in front of the town services building, Isabelle is stood to the left and Tom Nook to the right, both wearing black suits with red bow ties. My avatar is wearing a blue 2026 hoodie, an aqua Happy New Year silk hat and waving a 2026 flag (same design as the hoodie). Balloons can be seen dotted around the plaza, and beside Tom Nook is a cart with several silk hats.

Yeah, no thanks. Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

Stick with family, whatever it says online

Estrangement from parents or children seems to be growing, prompted by internet chatrooms advising 'no contact'

That's so weird! It's almost as if you're not supposed to eat the whole box in one sitting? Must be a typo or something... 🤔

If I'm reading this right, Lara won the public vote by about 2k votes, but Tamara won the international vote. The international vote was also very concentrated on Lara and Tamara while the Montenegrin vote was more spread out. Also, the math for 9th to 11th looks wrong. An error? 🤔 #Montesong2026
