Glad to hear y’all are having fun with it! Truly, last year’s results surprised me and made me think Germany might actually be cursed…
They have actually changed the rules! Audiences choose who moves on to the final now - there are no jury votes in semis anymore. Only for the final.
This is such a great way of putting it! Gave me a chuckle.
LOTL was truly robbed last year, they were one of my faves.
I’ve been in a little reading slump which tends to happen when I am doing more art and writing.
I’m currently slogging through two books. One is Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller. I guess it’s interesting because it’s written as a stream of consciousness novel, and it explores the absolute filthiest corners of 1930s Paris, but the narrator (Miller himself) is so odious. I don’t know why I feel like I have to finish it.
The second book is much better but just long, with a writing style that is also quite different. It’s called the Sympathizer, and it’s about a Vietnamese double agent spy who finds himself being airlifted from Saigon to the US…and everything that comes with that. It’s honestly a really compelling story, but the writing is much more unedited than I am used to. There are a lot of pages that have no paragraph breaks at all! So it feels dense even though the story isn’t.
I will wrap these up soon and then move on to something that’s a bit easier on my brain.
I loved the Dirk Gently show, I honestly forgot it was a book! Never read (or listened) so thanks for this reminder! Adding it to my list for sure!!
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
But seriously, it’s the gay musical Olympics, what’s not to love? (Unless you’re from Germany/UK in which it’s a point of national pride to dismiss Eurovision, lol?)
I don’t think LEDs are the move for beginners. Fluorescents are easy to hang, cheap, and won’t burn plants unless you really try. Otherwise this is pretty decent advice.
For home growers, you can cut your seed trays as needed, because nobody needs 128 zinnias unless you’re a flower farmer. Like, cut up a tray of 50s and only use 10 if you want to, and add them in a 1020 with other tray types, depending on the plants. Your space will go further and you can grow more things on your wishlist that way, vs dedicating an entire 1020 to one type of plant.
Anyone needs help with their setups, let me know! Former flower farmer here - had something like 150 trays going in my basement at one point a few years ago, because I didn’t live on the farm.
No, because he’s repeatedly said that he has no desire to do it, and that it’s a total indictment of our system that we are looking to a comedian for political leadership, lol. (He’s not wrong!)
Haha, “Happy HONK” does mean something to some of us! Totally plausible that she’s already in a HONK band…
This headline is bogus; the comparison to Brexit makes no sense here. Brexit was voted on in a democratic process (for better or worse), but all of these countries currently have junta governments that were not elected, and were suspended by ECOWAS because of it. Now they are unilaterally “choosing” to leave ECOWAS, but truthfully, ECOWAS considers them illegitimate and has considered military action (though done very little). It will be interesting to see if the threat of leaving finally prompts some collective action or not.
