What a frickin dumpster fire. The EBU fโ€™ed up hard. Also so much for not politicising Eurovision, Israel got over 300 points with one of the worst songs of the night! in the same 24 hours it warns of inceasing its bombing campaign in Rafa. I justโ€ฆโ€ฆ I donโ€™t even have words here. What the f is going on in the world.

Thereโ€™s also the CNN article on the Israeli whistleblowers. Massive trigger warnings for detainment and torture if you look that up. Cripes.

And yet still in the Un. Still invited to Eurovision. Netanyahu Could behead a baby on national tv and so long as he says it was a โ€œterroristโ€ Biden would still suck his dick.

UN wonโ€™t kick you out for being a genocidal dick, you want dicks to retain UN membership so everyone can yell at them - itโ€™s a place where everyone uses their words instead of nukes

Palestine isnโ€™t a participant. So I guess in a sense โ€œnot their problemโ€? but booting out the Dutchโ€ฆ? Maaaaan.

I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if the Dutch didnโ€™t participate next year. Joost was my pick too ๐Ÿ˜ญ

For fucks sake. Our fire alarms randomly went off. I was on the dunny half asleep. Nothingโ€™s on fire. There are cobewebs around the fire alarm thatโ€™s going off, so my guess is that somethingโ€™s moved in to it and is triggering the sensor. This actually happened at my last place, although at a much more reasonable hour.

Our alarms are a lot worse than regular alarms in regular houses. Theyโ€™re all wired in series, so once one goes off, they all go off. It is controlled by a commercial style Pannell, but the best that can do for us is making it shut up for 8 minutes. After that it can be retriggered. We canโ€™t just take it off the roof, A because weโ€™d be in a fair bit of shit, but B because itโ€™s bolted onto the roof and has several wires feeding into it anyways.

We can call the fire alarm company to replace it, but they wonโ€™t get here for several hours. Several hours while weโ€™re meant to be asleepโ€ฆ

E: We tried vacuuming out any dust, in case thatโ€™s what was causing it but no dice. Fire panel people have been called. No clue how long theyโ€™ll be

E2: fire people reckon theyโ€™ll be here within an hour

E3: they came out quite quickly to fix it, which honestly wasnโ€™t my experience in the past. Apparently nothing moved in, it just happened to go faulty. I blame the sun farts. In any case he took it off the roof and somebody will come tomorrow to replace it. A bit under 2 hours from it going off til it was fixed, which was honestly a good response time. Lovely bloke they sent too. Heโ€™s on call so we pulled him out of his slumber, so at least we arenโ€™t alone in our suffering ๐Ÿ˜‚

E4: also he called me back at 12:59, so he was here in under an hour

I missed the aurora the first time, going out briefly and too late, then forgot last night. Oh well. Itโ€™s not really safe to hang around outside at night and I wouldnโ€™t have been able to see much.
