Not a Eurovision fan, just a subjective music thing, not a europop person most of the time. And, yes, politics.
But a shout out to Lordi. And now to Look Mum No Computer, who I've followed on Youtube for a good few years. The UK entry being a nerd's nerd who doesn't just play, but *builds* their own instruments? And while it's pretty europoppy (which a musician mostly has to do to get a 150million audience) there's a bit of punk and it's quite funny. Might even tune in just for that track.

RE: @phyphox@bildung.social

Brilliant, a similar approach to my recent "can you track the concentration of a solution with the pitch you get pinging the beaker" idea 😎👍

Made some ferrofluid at work today. Give it a day to soak and I might get some cool video tomorrow. Fun exercise if you have access to a few grams of laser printer toner, vegetable oil, and a neodymium magnet.

Some fun rocks on the Easter Ross coast. Some of this is Old Red Sandstone, a pretty old type. There's differential erosion on the go, and the potholes/honeycomb structure is a result of wave action. Any small dimple is more likely to catch a grain of sand or pebble, which rolls around grinding the dimple deeper, letting it catch a larger stone, grinding more, etc etc.

@ArchiteuthisFlux@leds.social "Canadian coastguard, this is the US Navy, we are on a collision course. Adjust your bearing 10 degrees south." "Nope." "We say again, collision course, change your bearing." "Nope." "Canadian coastguard, we are an aircraft carrier with a support fleet of two destroyers, three cruisers, a small flotilla of support craft and a classified number of submarines. If you do not change your bearing we will take appropriate action." "We're a lighthouse. Your call."

@cstross@wandering.shop @jon@gruene.social I used to do deliveries to Rogart in Easter Ross. Several miles of a single road, all in the same postcode, with houses/crofts numbered, as far as I can tell, in the order in which they were most recently built? Sometimes had to resort to knocking on a door in the middle and asking "is number X East or West of here, do you know?", then the same for that half etc, until I found someone who knew it.
