Still a word about the total lame references to peace that seemed charged with unsaid words, I felt especially embarrassed by #Portugal's Mimicat and Iolanda. If the issue was so important to you and you have such a one sided view, then go all the way and boycott it.
But just like the "online boycotters" they really wanted to be a part of #Eurovision, they just wanted to exclude others from it but unwilling to the minimum personal sacrifice. Shallow morals, deep ignorance, lame, embarrassing.
Putting aside all the monstrous differences between both situations it all comes down to the fact that several countries, including the big5, said they wouldn't participate at #Eurovision if Russia did. No country (not even Muslim #Albania and #Azerbaijan) did the same about Israel. And in the end all Western Europe and Australia gave 12 televote points to Israel.
#Albania has an interesting trick to get around the limit of the amount of people you are allowed to have on stage: if you can't have enough dancers, just add them to the backdrop instead! Brilliant!
"Titan" is a song that sounded entirely different in the preview clips... seems like the uptempo now is just the final refrain.
We totally randomly met two #bicycle riders this morning near our home, apparently they're traveling around #Greece & #Albania with bicycles. They are a #German & #Italian couple. We invited them at my mom's home and we all had lunch together. Apparently they are #PhD candidates in #Austria, one in #chemistry and the other one in #biology. Very interesting young people. It was a good day today.
Jared #Kushner Has Big Plans for Delta of Europe’s Last Wild River - https://e360.yale.edu/features/jared-kushner-albania-vjose-vjosa-river-hotel " #Albania’s Vjosë River is known as Europe’s last wild river, and its pristine delta is a haven for migratory birds.

[Gifted link. NYTimes]: Kushner Developing Deals Overseas Even as His Father-in-Law Runs for President
Donald Trump’s son-in-law, who was also a senior White House official, said he was close to finalizing real estate projects in Albania and Serbia. By Eric Lipton, Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman
#Trump’s son-in-law said he was close to finalizing real estate projects in the two #Balkan nations, an example of the Trump family’s pursuit of deals abroad as the former president seeks the White House.
#JaredKushner, the son-in-law of #Trump, confirmed on Fri that he was closing in on major real estate deals in #Albania & #Serbia, the latest example of TFG’s family doing business abroad even as Trump seeks to return to the WhiteHouse.
#Kushner’s plans in the #Balkans appear to have come about in part through relationships built while Trump was in office.
#Kushner, who was a snr WH ofcl, said he had been working on the deals w/ #RichardGrenell, who served briefly as acting director of national #intelligence under #Trump & also as ambassador to Germany & special envoy to the Balkans.
One of the proposed projects would be the development of an island off the coast of #Albania into a luxury tourist destination.
A 2nd — w/a planned luxury hotel & 1,500 residential units & a museum — is in #Belgrade, the capital of #Serbia….
These first 2 projects both involve land now controlled by the govts, meaning a deal would have to be finalized w/ #ForeignGovernments.
A 3rd project, also in #Albania, would be built on the Zvërnec peninsula, a 1k-acre coastal area in the south….
#Kushner’s participation would be through his investment firm, #AffinityPartners, which has $2B in funding from #SaudiArabia’s Public Investment Fund, among other foreign investors.
