Wow, Lando very cold headed in the situation there to immediately realize that it was solely his own mistake and also say so on the radio

Afaik there is also the simple fact that these regions are not an example of good governance

Not in school, but in uni I had one or two professors who would tell us that their own books were required reading literature. And of course they wouldnt give us free copies or at least a discount but rather we had to buy them.

Most relevant for me in his thoughts is the fact that the RB seems to be completely different in handling to the RBR:

"You're going from one of the cars that’s most forgiving to the trickiest. And so you're having to adapt quite a lot to two very different cars. (..) But it's not something that feels that natural to most drivers.”

There have been semi-successful Youtube creators who transitioned into the studio system, who mostly never were big on-screen personas but rather worked behind the cameras.

The Corridor Crew has talked about how they always wanted to make it in Hollywood, but when they were finally being offered deals it simply was not financially or creatively wise to give up their business just in order to be part of a system where others are in control.

Or, more realistically, because he is driving in modfield positions that rarely get on-air coverage during races.

Meh, the 500 might not be relevant to the wider international audiences but to motorsports people it is. There is a reason why in the F1 Monaco post-race press conference the drivers were like "lets cut this short, we want to watch the race".

It is weird that F1 would put the Canadian GP in direct conflict with the 500.

Da verstehen einige der zitierten Kommentarschreiber nicht, wie das Produzieren unabhängiger Filme funktioniert. Der Mann ist selbstständig, ergo investiert er sein Geld in ein Filmprojekt und kann das erst dann mit den Einnahmen daraus wieder ausgleichen.

Österreich wird Staatstrauer verhängen, ist gerade bekannt gegeben worden. Flagge am Parlament ist bereits auf Halbmast gesetzt.

Das ist der erste Amoklauf an einer österreichischen Schule mit mehr als einem Toten jemals – in der Vergangenheit gab es nur Amokläufe, bei denen jeweils ein (Ex)schüler einen bestimmten Lehrer ermordet hat.

Hab ich mich auch schon gefragt.. ich vermute mal dass das lauter Kärnter sind die da runter fahren? Weil das tut sich doch niemand aus Wien an den Weg..

One Man, Two Identities: How Salvatore Giovanni Riggitano lived his life as John R. Prevost

On May 13th 2025, a team of researchers from The Genealogy Discord successfully broke through the Prevost brickwall in Pope Leo XIV’s family tree, via a WW1 draft card.

At the same time, a team at Ancestry.com arrived at the same conclusion independently via an Alien registration record.

Dear trusted and treasured Eurovision Song Contest community,

The EBU has listened to and engaged closely in the conversations among Members, our fans and in the media following this year’s Eurovision Song Contest (ESC).

I want to again congratulate the winner JJ and the team from ORF. His performance and song rightly, clearly and validly won the Contest and we want to make sure any ancillary conversations do not overshadow this epic achievement.

The ESC voting system includes multiple security layers and a comprehensive set of rules to ensure that a valid result is generated. Our voting partner - Once Germany GmbH - uses redundant systems and multiple platforms to ensure the correct delivery of votes to the central system.

For the Eurovision Song Contest, specially designed systems are used to monitor and prevent fraud. Additionally, more than 60 individuals in Cologne and several others in Vienna and Amsterdam monitor the voting process in each country and maintain direct contact with telecommunication and broadcasting partners globally. All results are verified through an 8-eye principle by the CEO and senior employees of Once, who collectively have over 40 years of voting experience.

Independent compliance monitor EY oversees and authenticates the results. Every decision related to the outcomes is documented and assessed. The entire process, including the result calculation of the platform and the voting results is thoroughly reviewed and verified by EY.

All audience voting, be it SMS, call or online shows evidence of the motivation of communities or diasporas around certain contestants. This can be for many reasons including personal attributes, back stories, geographic affiliations and current affairs. Historically the ESC has been as open to this as other singing and music competitions and reality television.

Every year the Reference Group for the Contest, which contains representatives from and acts on behalf of our Members, studies the data provided by our voting partner Once to make recommendations of any actions available to us to ensure our rules and systems remain fail safe and take into account contemporary external factors such as advances in technology and external influences. This process will happen as it always does in June this year.

Alongside the discussions of the Reference Group, one aspect the EBU will be looking at is the promotion of our acts by their delegations and associated parties. Such promotion is allowed under our rules and acts to celebrate the artists, increase their profile and launch future careers – it’s very much part of the music industry - but we want to ensure that such promotion is not disproportionally affecting the natural mobilization of communities and diasporas we see in all entertainment audience voting.

Another example is the number of votes we allow per person – 20 per payment method. This is designed to ensure that audiences of all ages can vote for more than one of their favourite songs and there is no current evidence that it disproportionally effects the final result – but the question has been asked and so we will look at it.

The EBU and I will be, as we always do, engaging our Members for their views on this and other matters.

I’ll end as I began, by congratulating JJ and ORF who won the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.

Best wishes,

Martin Green CBE, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, European Broadcasting Union
