Right, just blocked everyone who was enthusiastically posting on the #eurovision tag and now it’s late and I need to sleep but I’ll continue the purge when I get a moment tomorrow.
I don’t need anyone who normalises genocide in my life.
#eurovision
I’m avoiding live-posting all of #Eurovision by restricting my commentary to a two-person SMS group chat. That other person is on the same piece of furniture as I.
Cool, looks like we're having a Eurovision again next year! Congrats to Bulgaria :) #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Die Welt wäre einfach besser, wenn Sarah Engels sagen würde:
„Was soll's. 12 Punkte sind 12 Punkte. Scheiß doch drauf, ob pro Land oder in Summe.“

#eurovision Armour bodices are the vibe this year, it seems.
Eurovision is all about inclusion: it doesn’t see colour, gender, or genocide.
❤️
#eurovision
I swear all the #Eurovision pre-song videos are in one of the hotel rooms from #HeatedRivalry
Geil, Bulgarien hat den ESC gewonnen! Sehr verdient! Bangaranga!🥳
Ich bin sooo erleichtert, dass Israel nicht gewonnen hat. Ich hätte einen ESC in Israel nächstes Jahr sonst boykottieren müssen.
#Eurovision #ESC2026
When you block everyone who has posted enthusiastically about Eurovision, the #eurovision tag becomes a steam of decent people who oppose genocide.
My work here is done.
Is #eurovision post processing the video feed with #vfx or is it all done with a fancy camera and led syncing?
Serbia spent 50% of their Eurovision budget on Epic Shoulders of Extreme Epicness ( 10 to screaming, 5 to fire resistance) #eurovision2026 #eurovision

#eurovision This is very unpleasant.
Great move, Spainish tv is also boycotting Eurovision over Israel participation.
#boycott #eurovision
Australia read and understood the brief. That was a solid Eurovision song. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Cesar Sampson, ladies and gentlemen. Yes ma’am #Eurovision #BillyJoel
Folks posting enthusiastically about #eurovision must be sad for having missed the 1936 olympics.
Do you ever wonder what you’d be during back then? Guess what? You’re doing it right now.
#eurovision Who brought the agents in? #matrix #sweden
If you’re not offended by genocide, I’m offended by you. And you can fuck right off.
#eurovision
I’m coming into today nearly cold. How is your #Eurovision scorecard looking?
#eurovision She's just blown up the dancers' brains with that last piercing note. #poland
#eurovision I was terrified about that £500k violin and those kinky boots and flowing dress.
Let go! #Eurovision
#eurovision Can't believe I asked fam which country this was!? Idiot. #fra
Nul points #eurovision2026 #eurovision
#eurovision Croatia is summoning something, and we are eagerly awaiting our demon lord.
#eurovision I'm liking Bulgaria.
This show is making me crave sausage #eurovision2026 #eurovision
🎶 Watching Eurovision this week? 🎶
Good on you!
Don’t let a little genocide keep you from enjoying your singalong.

#eurovision That looks like the camera has gone on the blink! 😱
Yep, that's some Italian shit right there. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
#eurovision Delta. Yep. Very good.
Time to throw some snacks in the air fryer! #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Well I spread my votes between #norway, #bulgaria and #belgium for #eurovision tonight.
NIL POINTS
#Eurovision
Ah yes, everyone's favorite European country: Australia #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Ukraine sent their best emissary from Omicron Persei 6.3 #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Poland has definitely moved on from its milkmaids of yore #eurovision2026 #eurovision
#NormalisingGenocide is now trending on Mastodon.
Take a fucking bow, asshats.
#eurovision #esc2026 #GER
Albania's moody goth archangel in chainmail was pretty good #eurovision2026 #eurovision
I am a little behind because we had to check on the chickens #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Shakira Shakira. #Eurovision
Greece forgot to send a singer and a song. Cool videogame, though! #eurovision2026 #eurovision
I'm not going to post what I said out loud about Lithuania's presenter #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Norway. Remember when they sent Gåte? Well, this isn't Gåte. Anyway... #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Czechia just isn't lighting me on fire. Seems like a nice kid. I wish him the best. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Squeaky bum time.
#Eurovision
Looks like Ilia from Star Trek: The Motion Picture got a fresh paint job in Lithuania! #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Ukraine sent a hell of a soprano and a heavy-but-æthereal song. Pretty good. Let's see. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Croatia sent a gallery filled with Renaissance paintings of pagan priestesses being awesome #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Looks like Goth Xena moved to Romania for her sabbatical this year. Pretty wild. Pretty good. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
ACTUAL BILLY JOEL!
#Eurovision
France sent a French song in French: quelle surprise. Good soprano. Decent atmo. It'll chart. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Bulgaria offers us a banger from Bulgarian Nicki Minaj, and I suspect we will accept it with gratitude #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Holy shit, Sweden fucking slaps! My #1 so far. Guaranteed summer hit. The synth and polyphony is awesome. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Let's all go to the lobby, let's all go to the lobby, let's all go to the lobby and have ourselves a snack #eurovision2026 #eurovision
This is all very confusing.
#Eurovision
I don't have much to say about Finland owing to being distracted by the sausage. Sorry. I'll try harder in the future. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Cyprus sliding in with a solid (but predicable) Helleno-Anatolian track. Good song to bop to in Chersonissos and then forget #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Israel's song wasn't too bad, but nothing amazing. I wonder if they'll get nul points from everybody but Germany and Austria #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Belgian Björk with the indy accent does a little club dance as a treat. I predict it will land in the top 10, but not a winner. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Malta somehow sent a smouldering French song that's entirely in English and Maltese. Pretty good! Also, tight pants: happy to see us. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
It's a great song from Poland. It's not #Eurovision-winning stuff, but it would make a great standalone pop song.
Moldova sent Moldovan rap. I was fully tuned-out until the 8m tall soprano appeared. Then I tuned out a second time after she disappeared. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
WHERE IS THE ANALOG SYNTH?
WHERE ARE THE KRAFTWERK VIBES!?
YOU CAN'T JUST COUNT TO THREE!!!
Eins, zwei, sigh. Sorry, UK.
#eurovision2026 #eurovision
Absolutely wild: Poland huffed ALL the Witness Me paint and then voted for...Israel. Alrighty then anyway MOVING ON HELLO THERE ITALY PLEASE TELL US ABOUT YOUR EMOTIONS #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Looks like they're having some camera RF link issues with Czechia. These camera operators deserve their own award, though. Incredible work, live, with no room for fuckups. #eurovision2026 #eurovision
France has out-Franced itself this year. #Eurovision
Looking like a return to tradition: the European core votes for its neighbors, and the outer fringes vote for their diasporic concentrations. Australia is, of course, a huge wildcard. I wonder what the popular vote will look like! #eurovision2026 #eurovision
Waiting now for the truly bonkers part of #Eurovision: the voting.
Don't think we're going to win this year, lads. #Eurovision
She's got a pair of lungs on her though. That's a voice and a half! #Eurovision
In preparation for tomorrow, I've compiled a YouTube playlist of all the acts that didn't make it to the Grand Final, which I will watch before the show starts. (As a rule, I don't watch the semis, so as not to spoil the novelty of all the acts.) #Eurovision2026 #eurovision
It is impossible to be more Italian than this song & performance. #Eurovision
Euro🩸vision🩸song🩸contest.
The music of genocide.
Made in Europe™️
#EU #Europe #Eurovision #EurovisionSongContest
No idea what they put in the water in Bulgaria but it has some amazing side effects. #Eurovision
Eurovision is spotty with the subtitles this year. We got a full translation for Albania, which made the song hit harder. Greece, I guess they had some words on the curtain, but I couldn't see them: I think he had a kind of message, but I only did one semester of Attic Greek 23 years ago, and I couldn't understand him at all. This disadvantages Greece and other such in the voting. #eurovision2026
Bugger. Just realised we (UK) can't even rely on getting a few audience votes from Ireland this year. #Eurovision
I can't work out which nation this act is from. I wish he'd shout out the name of his country or something. #Eurovision
Particularly unfortunate for Serbia coming straight after such an up-beat up-tempo glorious Australian performance. #Eurovision
Albania: 12 points to Italy
Cyprus: 12 points to Greece
Sweden: 12 points to Finland
Who on earth could have predicted any of that?
#Eurovision
This guy is an incredible performer: goes up on stage and cuts a flawless album track in one take while putting on a stage show. As someone who spent 24 years as a musician before seeing the better of it, let me just recognize game in Mr. César Sampson. Consummate fuckin' performer there. #eurovision2026
Who's doing the #BootsOfMastodon toots? Surely Finland must be contenders for first place. #Eurovision
Yes, nice stuff from Cyprus. It's not going to change their never-winning-Eurovision record, but it's a great song. And recognisably from the country it's representing too, rather than generic Eurorave. #Eurovision
Right, time for part 2 #Eurovision
Oh Bulgaria what have you done? #Eurovision
Salt Lake City IS in Utah, Rylan. #Eurovision
Oh no. They're out. Pray for Vienna. #Eurovision
I'm exhausted just watching Armenia. #Eurovision
Don't let the zombies out of the box! #Eurovision
This is quite charming from Luxembourg. #Eurovision
Sounds like she's singed Rylan's beard 😆 #eurovision
If those post-it notes haven't all fallen off by the end of this performance I'm calling shenanigans. #Eurovision
I'm fairly sure that there's an agreement that if Australia do win, that a European country would host the contest for them. #Eurovision
Sorry Austria, but you need to be glad that you get through to the final automatically. Otherwise you'd be out in the semis. #Eurovision
Fairly sure I saw this Romanian entry performing at Slimelight or some other similar electrogoth club in the early 2000s!
