Reminder for those of us deprived North Americans - you can watch the Eurovision final *right now* on YouTube. 🎉
Have to admit, I did not figure this out until now!
A reminder that Austria’s song is about the lack of royalties musicians receive from the likes of Spotify, with 0.003 referencing how much some artists get per stream. Incredible. #Eurovision
ALT 0.003 on the board.

Note that nobody is taking about criminal charges for this corporation that stole from its working-class employees. I’ve represented dozens, maybe hundreds of poor people who have spent time—sometimes weeks or months—in a cage for stealing necessity items.
A judge says San Francisco's Marriott Hotel illegally kept about $9 million in more than five years of banquet "service charges" that its customers reasonably understood to be tips for food servers.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: any pharmacy worker or medical provider who tells you there is no difference between generic brand drugs and name brand drugs or differences between genetics is wrong and LYING.

Here's Ron DeSantis Universe, with GOP lawmakers nosing into your children's most private matters. Welcome to "free" Florida, right? What a farce.
This was the last day in the office - 3 years ago today - all other coworkers had left in the week or so prior, we stuck it out. I never went back to this office. We moved to a new space, then sublet that office, and I’ve worked from home ever since. Still boggling.
ALT 4 people gathered around a TV in an office in an industrial loft. The TV is showing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau giving a daily address at the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic.
I’ll never pass up a chance to remind people of this: NEVER let a chiropractor touch your neck. (Honestly, never go to a chiro, but if you just NEVER for a neck adjustment)

I would honestly be so happy to watch an extra hour of the Oscars if it meant letting winners of non “big” categories got to finish their speeches.

Mental-health crisis from pandemic was minimal, study suggests bbc.in/3ZA0EHd
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
From the article & authors of study-
“The review did not look at lower-income countries, or specifically focus on children, young people & those with existing problems, the groups most likely affected, experts say, and risks hiding important effects among disadvantaged groups.“
