2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

That was great.

I’ve never seen this contest and this video is the first song I’ve seen from one. Is the official criterion to pick the most absurd performance, or does it just work out that way.

Good song from past Eurovision

Never managed to watch more than 5 mins of Eurovision but I did watch the Netflix Will Ferrell movie. Wasn’t that great either but Dan Stevens as the Russian contestant was amazing. Catchy song too

You gotta be into campy stuff to enjoy Eurovision

If I told one of the student bands from my school that they’d be great for Eurovision they’d be insulted

I can see that.

My very first impression of Eurovision is that it is a white people version of Bollywood song and dance vids. However, I don’t think that if you went to India, telling someone they came up with a Bollywood hit would be an insult. So. maybe that’s not the best comparison.

Am I crazy or would that song from RRR crush in this competition?

This is more Eurovision’s speed

The only song I know from Eurovision was from Eurovision Junior and the only reason I know it is because it’s a Fortnite emote. It’s pretty catchy, actually.

Eurovision is for people who are too cowardly to listen to Scandinavian metal on a regular basis.

I know cruises are not for everyone but I’m on an alaska one right now and it’s unreal. Literally sat for 90 min having morning coffee watching three humpbacks feed less than 100 m off my balcony. I’ve been whale watching maybe 25 times and seen more whales in last two days than whole life combined. It’s like a zoo. Just unreal.

that’s the only cruise I’ve ever been on, and yeah, it was like that the whole way. One evening there was the biggest school of dolphins just following our ship
i’m talking hundreds (if not thousands) of dolphins, basically as far as you could see. it was insane

I’ll be doing something similar this July, so we’ll be uncultured boors together. Hopefully the animal watching is as good.

i hate the idea of cruises. but i would entertain the idea of going on an alaskan one for sure
 the ones to random Caribbean island just seem dumb, imo.

David Foster Wallace’s essay on cruises is also a classic (there might be an easier free way to read this than this pdf, but I didn’t quickly find one, this essay was re-titled A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again in a collection of the same name).

A daughter of a judge for the 5h Judicial Circuit Court of Florida is working her first year as a fifth-grade teacher and is now under investigation for the state Department of Education for showing a Disney movie about green energy ideology.

The movie “Strange World” also featured Disney’s first openly gay character, and the teacher did not seek the appropriate approval by the administration before showing the film Disney self-censors in other countries around the world.

Jenna Barbee, a first-year teacher and daughter of Judge Don Barbee, has been reported by Hernando County School Board member Shannon Rodriguez, who was endorsed by the conservative parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.
