it sucks that mittens look aesthetically cooler but are less useful than winter gloves because what if you need the rest of your fingers but can't take off the mittens because then the frostfiends immediately give your hand the cold and freezing and cold and cold and cold and cold and cold and
so "The Answer" premiered on the same day as Ruby's VA's 30th birthday?? oh my god, that's actually perfect alignment
Sapphire joyously driving a Mario Kart Double Dash style Pipe Frame kart, having just done a quick swerve after having foreseen a better item - lightning - in the (from our point of view) leftward item box, with Ruby flailing behind as a result of the swerve.

Ruby and Sapphire walking through the snow hand in hand in somewhat wintery apparel, Sapphire in a long puffy jacket and mittens and Ruby just in a hoodie. They carry a cooler and picnic basket, toddling through a snowfield with Sapphire leaving footprints in her wake and Ruby leaving a path of melted snow. A snow-coated temple hill is visible on the horizon.

I guess not being subjected to it 24/7 in every single store or other place with loudspeakers makes it easier to not dislike
i will get slain for this suggestion but APT

"some serious alternatives would have been nice, just for the sake of the competition"
as in, there were alternatives but none of them reached the bar of giving tommy cash much of a challenge
ollie last year did make the 5miinust x puuluup win a bit more intense, for example
the song is okay and all but it feels like it's lacking on the stage aspect so if we do make it to may with this, i'd hope to see more improvements there. it's not giving "eurovision 2025 winner" right now
and the controversies don't help either, oh well
on another note, as it seemed and was later confirmed (tommy cash won with 83%) - it really felt like we had no choices in the eesti laul of this year and it all seemed more like a long coronation
some serious alternatives would have been nice, just for the sake of the competition
the official ESC page has tommy cash on it but the video of his performance was taken down from the ESC channel hours after uploading, and now there's also that new song with joost klein
getting mixed signals as to whether we'll have someone out there in may or not
...no stresso, no stresso?
is this what the sino-soviet split felt like

currently the main 100% reliable partners we have are the nordics, the poles and the brits
german and french voters don't care for playing world nor european police and the US has also directly expressed disinterest
i'm gonna lose it
elon is faking it in terms of liking ai for the record
before he went nuts he used to often warn about the dangers of ai, he even used to call for global regulations on ai
now, like on almost everything, he's flipped in order to pursue corruption with the republicans

sorry latvians i didn't know you were cooking
Desynchronising our energy grid from Russia has begun.
We have thoroughly prepared for this. There are sufficient controllable capacity and external connections in the Baltic States to ensure a smooth transition.
Tomorrow we will join the Continental European frequency band.
the red shell mafia can't take me down
USAID worked to take down apartheid south africa, it's currently saving countless children during the famine and genocide in sudan, it's destroying landmines in warzones, helping field hospitals in refugee camps, distributing medicine to fight HIV and polio.
the list goes on.
there's also the aspect of actual humanitarian/ aid and support to civil society in many countries.
you know why bukele (dictator of el salvador) supports ending USAID? because he's an autocrat and dismantling civil society faster allows him to consolidate power and commit more human rights abuses
