With the demise of so many large corporations participating in Pride festivities this year, the monetary shortfalls in funding have been mitigated in part by local and small businesses participating in greater numbers with resources and dollars. Thank you and remember to support your local small businesses when you can. Also, a Judge has blocked Trump’s gender-restricting passport policy-for now. Finally, there are several Trump Burger joints that have popped-up in Texas. They have been inundated with people looking for TACOS. Please don’t call them and ask if they offer a chicken taco on the menu!

Ben Model, Silent Film expert and now author of the must have book, “The Silent Film Universe,” is our guest during Shop Talk. Caught My Eye has a story about a museum patron who sits on a piece of Swarovski crystal clad art called “Van Gogh’s Chair”—you can guess what happens. Also, a drunk patron denied entry into a bar in Kentucky comes back to let a raccoon loose at The Big Apple Grill and Bar. Chaos ensues. Our Business Birthday celebrates James Flagg who is the illustrator of the “I Want You for The US Army” poster developed for Army Recruitment in 1916-and still used today.

Travel & Leisure has named the Happiest City in America—and the winner might surprise you. On Shop Talk, we highlight four habits we should all stop, or at least pay more attention to. Caught My Eye features a curious story, possibly AI-generated, about a paragliding adventure out of China. And a friendly reminder from the TSA: your Costco card is not a valid form of government-issued ID, even if it has a gold star. Our Business Birthday honors Roland Moreno, the inventor of the smart card.

Famed gay male underwear and clothing designer, Andrew Christian, will release his last collection this Fall. He has not revealed what’s next so get your jocks, briefs, and swimwear now while you can. But first, popular LGBTQ DC destination, Dupont Circle, was to be closed, opened, and ultimately closed for World Pride this past weekend. The National Park Service claims the closure was related to damage done to the park from past Pride Celebrations. Then, Utah GOP hard right homophobe Rep. Trevor Lee is upset about the NHL Hockey team, the Utah Mammoths, changing their logo to honor June Pride. He also is against the Rainbow Flag, but OK with the Nazi and Confederate flags. This is Trump’s America.
