Mahalo! And very glad you’re relatively healthy and happy! Yes, please, let me know if you’re headed this way. In the meantime, aloha! 🌈✊♥️

I’m doing ok overall, my friend. It got more difficult before it got better, as expected, but the big surprise was just how *tedious* it was. I’m mostly back to normal (for 67…) and my long term prognosis is great. How’re you?

Here in Hawai’i the organizers are callng it “No Dictators” out of respect for Hawai’i’s illegally-overthrown monarchy, a gesture I’m pleased to support. I’m hoping to make it but I’m not sure my body is up for it. I’d not, next time!

Hilary “Cassandra” Clinton. She knew. She warned us. Those you ignored her are dooming us all.

Brilliant!

I’ve been joking that it’s just a question of whether I end up a superhero or a supervillain. Whichever doesn’t require spandex is fine with me. I’m too old for spandex…

Me on 04-09-25, about four hours after some guys made me a bit radioactive.

After six mo. on a testosterone blocker, I had a ~100 tiny radioactive pellets implanted in my prostate to kill the cancer growing there, thwarting Mr Prostate’s evil colonizer plans for Brooks-wide domination.

Woo hoo!

🌈✊♥️♥️♥️

My pleasure! And thank *you* for this brilliant — this important — piece! I’ve shared it here, on Instagram, and on Facebook. To be honest, I didn’t notice your name on it until I did a google image search, but as soon as I had your name I added it. Aloha to you and yours! 🌈✊♥️♥️♥️

*Let me march… <sigh />

Stolen from a comment on a joemygod.com overnight open forum for 16 March 2025. Someone else commented on it, “Coming soon: the Seven Deadly Virtues.” Lent me march, then, thru the gates of Dis “with nothing on my tongue but ‘Hallelujah.’”

Oy! For the last decade or two I’ve also been saying that truth is stranger than fiction only because fiction knows when to stop.

Pete Hegseth on FOX NEWS with headline chyron that reads: Tracking Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine.

This you?

I try to do it once a day but haven’t today. Thanks for the reminder! 🌈✊♥️

Small, cruel people have created for themselves a small, cruel god. It warms their small, cruel hearts to think that their small, cruel god rains down horror and suffering on the people whom they hate and fear. And they are happy to be the divine instruments of that suffering.

They might believe in a just world, but they believe that “justice” is milk+honey for themselves and fire+brimstone for everyone else.

My sincere condolences and aloha to you and your family.
