At the Kapiolani Community College Farmers Market this morning, bought some organic baby bok choy, mustard cabbage, kale, papaya, avocado, and $5 worth of good luck in 2026.

I guess glyphosate is safe now but I want to double check before snorting it from a toilet seat.

We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th.

Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection.

Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault.

John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack.

They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

Food Stamps Are a SNAP for Seniors! – Generations Magazine

A lot of us seniors don't apply for social services for one reason or another. I wrote this article for Generations Magazine to encourage seniors to apply. The SNAP/EBT income cap is so low that if you qualify, you can definitely use the help.

That’s the sun setting today a few hours after the Winter Solstice beyond the reef runway. At 245 degrees. In summer, the sun sets behind the Waianae range from where I am. Huge difference. I’ll post similar pics at Summer Solstice, God willing…

So in a couple of cases. One is called
Wilcox. They basically said you can go
ahead and fire everyone, even if Congress
says you can't fire these people. And you
know, in three years, after we do the legal
review, maybe you'll be wrong. So in other
words, the most important holding from
Wilcox, which is now being applied
elsewhere, is not that Trump can fire
everyone, although that's a problem, it's
that Trump can fire everyone and avoid a
stay. So in other words, even if there's a
good argument that he can't fire people,
Supreme Court gave him the green light to
just fire everyone, and if he's breaking the
law, we'll come back in three years and
clean everything up. And that precedent Wilcox now is being
applied to other instances. There's a case
called DVD where a judge said, you can't
deport these guys to South Sudan. They
have no tie to it. There's a civil war going
on, and Trump serially got the Supreme
Court to say, not only does it matter if
they're in contempt of that judge's order,
but same thing has happened with Wilcox.
We don't have to wait to find out whether
this is legal or not. We can deport them to
South deport them to South Sudan, and by
the time they get their day in court, they'lI
be dead. But fuck it. ... scOTUS is saying
Trump can go ahead and break the law,
and then if we later find out that he was
breaking the law, then we're going to have
to unwind the decisions of the law
breaking. And of course, given that he's
trying to be a fascist, you see the
problem.

The doc I sent to Kindle in the last post was a book review>

Dan Moller decided as an adult he wanted to play Bach fugues on the piano. He had to learn to read music. Then he had to learn how to play the piano. What a lunatic.

He wrote a book about it. I read it:

I just changed my profile pic from one smoothed out with AI (Lensa, I think) to just a raw photo of old-guy me. Hoping to convey that I’m a real old-guy and not AI-dependent or a bot. I also make posts with errors, misspellings, and awkwardness just as further evidence.
