  4. #Eurovision's organizers (#EBU) are reportedly considering moving Israel from Eurovision Europe to the new Eurovision Asia competition in Bangkok this November, according to #ynet, which is relying on anonymous sources. This comes after 5 countries boycotted Eurovision 2026 over Israel's participation in connection with the Gaza genocide.

    [...] The EBU responded to ynet's inquiry, stating that "discussions are ongoing with additional broadcasters about joining the November event," adding that anyone participating in Eurovision Europe will not be able to participate in Eurovision Asia. "The event, like Eurovision, will be inclusive and celebrate our being united by music. Decisions regarding participation are made by the organizers."

    De European Broadcast Union (EBU) vraagt Eurovisie Songfestival-fans om hulp om verloren opnames uit 1956 en 1964 terug te vinden. De opnames van deze shows ontbreken in de archieven van de oorspronkelijke omroepen.

  6. A large international study coordinated by the #EBU and led by the #BBC found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time across different languages and platforms, with #Gemini performing the worst.

    […] Key findings: 

    • 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
    • 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
    • 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
    • Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
    • Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

  7. i'm still mad that #israel has stripped us of enjoying #laibach at #eurovision, because the #ebu has no balls, so #slovenia said fuck it, fuck you, we out.
    not to mention the genociding in #gaza & #palestine and war crimes in #iran, you know.

  8. Felicia #sweden's entry to #eurovision has expressed mild criticism of #israel's participation, too much for the #ebu. Skin from Skunk Anansie rubbished this idea that you can separate #music from politics 30 years ago:

    “... seems like quite a fascist idea.. This song is about how everything is fucking political, and we’ll always have that element to our music.”

    Negative are all your views
    So you to can prop up your fake cool
    A puppet, all the same
    Political

    “ChatGPT #trust is risky, as a recent study by the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) shows. The association of 68 public broadcasters from 56 countries systematically tested the reliability of the most popular AI systems. The alarming result: #ChatGPT, Gemini, and other chatbots invent up to 40 percent of their answers and present them as facts.”

    De European Broadcasting Union (EBU) heeft "nooit overwogen" om niet naar Amsterdam te komen met de nieuwe Eurovision Song Contest Live Tour, ook al doet Nederland dit jaar niet mee met de muziekwedstrijd. Volgens de EBU heeft het Songfestival een "sterke en gepassioneerde fanbase" in Nederland,...

    "Eurovisie zegt dat het staat voor eenheid, inclusie en gelijkwaardigheid voor iedereen. Deze waarden zorgden ervoor dat de wedstrijd betekenisvol voor mij waren. Maar de aanhoudende deelname van #Israël tijdens een genocide, die zo door de Onafhankelijke Internationale Commissie van de VN is bestempeld, staat haaks op die idealen en de besluiten van de #EBU. Wanneer landen zich terugtrekken, zou het duidelijk moeten zijn dat er iets fundamenteel mis is."

  15. hey! here's a handy template from the palestine solidarity campaign to urge the BBC to join spanish, dutch, slovenian, icelandic & irish broadcasters in withdrawing from eurovision. no excuses. :)

    Swiss singer #Nemo, the 2024 #Eurovision winner announced they are returning their trophy in protest against #Israel’s inclusion in the 2026 competition, saying it contradicts Eurovision’s ideals of “unity, inclusion and dignity for all.” Their move follows the European Broadcasting Union’s refusal to exclude Israel over its war in #Gaza, prompting boycotts by #Spain, #Ireland, the #Netherlands, #Slovenia, and #Iceland. Nemo accused Eurovision’s organizers of allowing the event to serve as image rehabilitation for a state accused of serious misconduct while claiming to be apolitical. Despite mounting criticism, Israel and its supporters defended its participation, and the #EBU maintains that 34 countries are still slated to compete, though more may reconsider.

    Perhaps this will generate the momentum we need? Let Israel forever tarnish the Eurovision brand, be this awful country’s legacy. Perhaps this is the only accountability we can expect for the genocide at this stage.

  17. #EBU, the European Broadcasting Union, does a lot more than just host the #Eurovision song contest: they broadcast high quality classical music programs (like Notturno, my favorite), concerts, sports, political debates and many other events. It's a shame to see them willingly on their knees, licking the soles of #Israel's #apartheid regime, while it's committing #genocide.

    Kudos to Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland and Nemo for actively opposing.

    "Songfestival-winnaar Nemo stuurt trofee terug: 'Woorden en daden niet op één lijn' "

    -> " "Het Songfestival zegt te staan voor eenheid, inclusie en waardigheid voor iedereen. Die waarden gaven dit festival betekenis voor mij.""

    -> "Het zit Nemo dwars dat Israël mag blijven meedoen terwijl een VN-commissie oordeelde dat in Gaza sprake is van genocide."

    Mitkähän on äänestysvaihtoehdot? Jaa, ei, tyhjä, poissa?

    Jos nämä, uskaltaako #Yle olla jotain mieltä vai jotain kahta jälkimmäisestä?
