Eurovision bans Pride flags for performers, lifts restrictions on flags for spectators
The Eurovision Song Contest has lifted restrictions that barred spectators from waving Palestinian flags and other banners of non-competing countries or entities — but the updated flag policy also states performers can only wave the flag of the country they're representing, effectively banning Pride flags for artists. The updated policy, shared with CBC News, specifies that all flags and banners are permitted for audience members at the upcoming event this May in Basel, Switzerland, as long as they do not pose safety risks or break Swiss law. But the same isn't true for performers when they're in "official spaces." Under the policy, only one national flag can be displayed by performers and their delegations when they are in spaces including the stage, Green Room, Eurovision Village stage and Turquoise Carpet at the opening ceremony. During the flag parade, only one official flag provided by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), the host broadcaster, is allowed to be displayed by performers. This means that demonstrations like the one that occurred when Italy's Marco Mengoni carried both the Italian and Pride flags during the flag parade in 2023 will no longer be permitted. It also means performers will no longer be able to display another country or territory's flag in solidarity, such as the Palestinian flag or Ukraine's flag, which many performers displayed in 2022 in the wake of Russia's invasion. A spokesperson for the Eurovision Song Contest said the policy was developed by SRG SSR with input from the Eurovision Broadcasting Union (EBU). "Outside of these official spaces, the flag policy for delegations is the same as for audiences, where all flags permitted under Swiss law can be used, including Pride flags, and provides plenty of opportunities for the expression of everyone's identities," the spokesperson said. Delegations and performers may face "further consequences" if they violate the policy, but it's not clear what these consequences are. Ban on Pride flags criticized The updated policy for artists is an abrupt change to a long-standing tradition in which the rainbow Pride flag was an exception to the rule that required only the flags of competing countries to be flown. In 2022, several artists carried Pride flags during the flag parade, with S10, a singer-rapper from the Netherlands, and Australia's Sheldon Riley both carrying rainbow flags, and Iceland's Systur band carrying a transgender flag. Switzerland's Nemo, who scored first place in last year's Eurovision Song Contest for the song The Code, about their journey of self-acceptance, said they had to smuggle in the non-binary flag that they displayed onstage after Eurovision apparently told them it wasn't permitted. Already, the news that no Pride flags will be allowed to be flown by performers and their delegations onstage is sparking backlash on social media and beyond, with many pointing out that the campy, glitzy event has long positioned itself as an event that celebrates 2SLGBTQ+ people and allies. "There's just something really dark about eurovision which claims to honour its swathes of LGBTQ+ fans deciding to outlaw contestants showing pride flags," wrote X user @_Aviera_. Another user wrote, "How can the @Eurovision go from being one of the very big allies for the LGBTQIA+ community to now banning pride flags- hide ourselves again! Last year, Nemo (a Non-Binary Person) won in 2024. How does this make sense! Time for this show to end." Dutch broadcaster AvroTros will be appealing the decision of the EBU to ban Pride flags in "official spaces," after meeting with LGBTQ+ rights group COC Nederland, according to local media reports. Calls to boycott Eurovision continue The policy change is just the latest controversy to face the embattled pan-continental pop competition. Last year's instalment in Malmö, Sweden, was overshadowed by massive pro-Palestinian protests calling for Israel to be barred from competing due to its military campaign in the Gaza Strip. Israel's offensive has killed more than 51,000 people and damaged or destroyed most residential buildings, according to Gaza officials and the United Nations. Eurovision briefly barred Israel from performing in 2024 over concerns that its song choice broke rules on political neutrality. The song, originally titled October Rain, appeared to contain references to the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that killed some 1,200 people and led to about 250 being taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies. Israel was ultimately cleared to compete after changes were made to the lyrics and the title. But the controversy hasn't let up. Three national broadcasters from participating nations — Slovenia, Spain and Iceland — have called Israel's continued involvement in the event into question this year. Contest organizers have maintained that Eurovision is a non-political event, but those opposing Israel's inclusion have pointed out that Russia was banned from participating in Eurovision in 2022 following its invasion of Ukraine and has not participated since.

Someone Actually Bought This Hideously Modified Jeep Mail Truck
Read the full story on Backfire News We don't know if someone got loaded one night and came up with the idea to graft a 1974 Camaro front end to an old Jeep mail truck's cab, finishing up with a 1988 Chevy S10 bed, but it would certainly make sense. Plus, there's a Cadillac grille, which absolutely has to be a troll. To think someone did this not as a joke but as a serious project vehicle is just mind it was the result of a bender, dare, joke, or some serious delusion, this hideous monstrosity made it to Facebook Marketplace. According to the listing, which reads like one giant troll or joke, it sits on an S10 frame, has a 350 V8 and a 350 Turbo automatic transmission. Supposedly, the contraption 'runs and drives really well with lots of power.' Honestly, we don't care if it does an 8-second quarter mile, it's so offensive to the eyes it should be crushed. To be clear, we almost never say that about any build, but this is certainly an exception. People want to complain about the Tesla Cybertruck being ugly, and we don't think that thing is a looker, but this mutant mail truck makes Elon's all-electric pickup appear stunning in comparison. Whoever is responsible for this mess likely should be on medication, possibly house arrest if not in federal prison. Honestly, the builder should be banned from welding anything ever again. The seller seems to be reveling in the fact his Thing That Should Not Be actually sold, saying something in the updated listing about 'haters.' We think he means people with a shred of common decency. Here's to hoping the new owner talked him way down from the $2,500 asking price to something more reasonable like the seller paying the buyer $10,000 to take it off his hands and remove his shame. See the listing for this atrocity here. Images via Tim L Brown

OpenAI valued at $300 billion after record-breaking funding round
LONDON: OpenAI has raised more than $40 billion in anew funding round that values the maker of ChatGPT at $300 billion, a record-breaking deal for a start-up. The latest funding round has been led by Japanese investment group SoftBank, who will initially provide S10 billion in funding and then $30 billion more by the end of 2025 if certain conditions are met. In a blog post on its website, OpenAI said the investment "enables [it] to push the frontiers of AI [artificial intelligence] research even further" and would be used to scale its compute infrastructure and develop "increasingly powerful tools" for ChatGPT users. The company said 500 million people were now using ChatGPT every week. "We're excited to be working in partnership with SoftBank Group - few companies understand how to scale transformative technology like they do," OpenAI said. "Their support will help us continue building AI systems that drive scientific discovery, enable personalised education, enhance human creativity, and pave the way toward AGI [artificial general intelligence] that benefits all of humanity." The current AI boom was sparked by OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT in late2022, beginning a technological arms race among tech firms to introduce generative AI tools within their products and directly to consumers. Since then, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta have all moved into the generative AI space with their own dedicated tools. OpenAI, founded as a non-profit looking to develop open source AI models, has also begun the process of restructuring itself as a for-profit company, a move which has led to a bitter stand-off, and several legal challenges from Elon Musk, who leads rival start-up xAI and was a co-founder at OpenAI before departing the firm in 2018. Musk has called for OpenAI to return to its open source roots, rather than the closed models it has so far rolled out. Open source models can be downloaded and modified by firms to suit their needs, but OpenAI and others have previously suggested that this approach carries more risk and leaves powerful technology open to nefarious use by bad actors. But on Monday, OpenAI also announced it was building a more open generative AI model, as competition in the AI space intensifies, with open source models from Meta and Chinese firm DeepSeek becoming increasingly popular. — dpa
