THE CAFTAN CHRONICLES: You'll want to check out the latest Caftan Chronicles interview, which is with the author of the classic novel Love Junkie, Robert Plunket. His Q&A touches on Madonna, hustling, Al Parker and upscale trailer parks in Florida that allow one to go incognito.

The interview touches on so many topics — AIDS, writing, Madonna, the '70s and '80s as a gay man — it's a good intro to Tim's work.
THE ADVOCATE: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan's rock-star Democratic governor, has signed into law a ban on gay and trans panic defenses.

EW: Mindy Cohn has unloaded on one of her fellow The Facts of Life co-stars, calling her a greedy bitch who, in 2020, tanked a possible reunion series by going behind everyone's backs and trying to set up her own spin-off. Someone is in tuh-roubbbble.
LGBTQ NATION: Elon Musk is the world's richest man, and he is such a big baby — the reason he went hard-right and LOATHES trans folk now is that his oldest child is a trans girl. He refers to her as being dead to him because of the “woke mind virus.” It's scary who has money, no? I'm not even sure it's safe to eat the rich — too many are contaminated.
TICKETS: If you're in NYC, don't miss Anthony Wayne in ... Just Me. Anthony Wayne: Live. He was great in that Sylvester musical a few years back.
HUFF POST: Netanyahu called Americans protesting the bloodshed in Gaza “useful idiots.” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) clapped at this, so I'm going to go ahead and say he's off the list. Netanyahu sounded supremely defiant and confident. About half of the Dems in Congress weren't there. (P.S. Anyone rooting for Hamas really is an idiot, not particularly useful.)
MEDIUM: “Erasurehead: How AIDS Killed My Gay Synthpop Superfandom.”
MSNBC: VP Kamala Harris fired up supporters in Indiana. Jen Psaki talked about how Harris can win.
