The Blue Moon Podcast Live show recording, showing an audience sitting to the left of the photo and the panel sitting on the right. The panel is made up of Chris Higginbottom, Simon Bajkowski, Paul Lake and David Mooney.
With tonight's @bluemoonpodcast.com live show done (online tomorrow), that brings to a close another season... The 16th I've done the podcast for now. If it was a child, it'd be leaving high school or could legally drink wine, beer or cider with a meal in a restaurant. My baby is growing up.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents.
Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. Youβre not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Meet Steve Davis, Elon Muskβs Top Lieutenant Who Oversees DOGE
Steve Davis, a longtime Musk loyalist, is effectively the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency. Mr. Musk has likened him to chemotherapy.
Yesterday we published a story on Steve Davis, Musk's fixer at DOGE. Some reporting didn't make it into the story because it was a bit tangential. But it's important in understanding how working for Musk can shift someone's relationships.
So, meet Stephen Richer.

The headline reads "RUSSIA DEMANDS TO KEEP CAPTURED TERRITORY" in bold white text on a red background. The cover features a photograph of Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting at a desk, speaking on the phone with a smirk. A speech bubble adds dialogue, with Putin saying, "Including the White House."
