## About this episode

The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo descended into political chaos as Greta Thunberg joined 10,000 protesters to denounce Israel's participation. Amidst the tension, Dutch contestant Joost Klein faced a historic disqualification following a police investigation into a backstage altercation, leading to record-low viewership in the Netherlands. Switzerland's Nemo eventually secured the win with a genre-blending performance that marked the first victory for a non-binary artist in the competition's history.

Global health authorities are intensifying surveillance of the H5N1 bird flu as the virus spreads to dairy cattle across nine states, including Texas. The USDA is currently negotiating financial incentives for ranchers to permit testing on private property, while the FDA maintains that pasteurized grocery store milk remains safe despite the detection of viral fragments. Simultaneously, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation filed a lawsuit against the Tides Foundation over $33 million in disputed donations, and Panama’s President-elect Jose Raul Molino vowed to shut down the Darien Gap to halt illegal migration. In the United States, the Shenandoah County School Board made national headlines by voting to restore Confederate names to schools previously renamed in 2020.

Personal stories of resilience provide a counterpoint to the geopolitical friction, from nine-year-old Branson Baker’s heroic run for help during an Oklahoma tornado to the cinematic tribute to the Smallbone family in the film Unsung Hero. The episode also features a deconstruction of Apple’s controversial iPad Pro advertisement and a look at the emerging digital guillotine trend on TikTok. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes a final appearance in the closing mix regarding his recent parasitic brain worm disclosure.
