From the Capitalocene to (hopefully) the Bonobocene – with assorted horrors and hijinks in between – the Love Train goes rolling along.

Zionist Thugs & Geriatric Political Criminals

There’s blood on the tracks – the innocent blood of thousands of Gazans, bombed and starved by Benny Net Nut and his gang of Zionist thugs.

Meanwhile, two semi-senile US Presidential candidates – Genocide Joe the Net Nut-abetting War Criminal and Trumpty Dumpty the Jack-of-All-Crimes (theft, fraud, assault, defamation, election tampering, treason and war crimes), vie for control of the train.  

Is that a light at the end of the tunnel or a nuclear bomb exploding?

At the moment, darkness reigns as any criticism of Zionism is being censored as “anti-Semitism” (it’s not). Meanwhile real anti-Semitism is rising, as the Zionist massacre of innocent Palestinians in Gaza as well as the West Bank gets worse and is splayed across social media for all the world to see, and yet on and on it goes.

What is this madness?

Well, it sounds like genocide, looks like genocide, and if we were there, I’m sure it would smell like genocide, so yeah, it is genocide.

But our leaders refuse to call it what it is: genocide. Why?

We know their pockets are stuffed with Zionist and U.S. weapons industry cash. Apparently, so are their ears and their mouths.

Therein lies the bloody center of this storm of madness.

Bonobo Valentines & Lupercalian Orgasms

Speaking of storms, Capitalogenic climate change is causing floods, fires and famines around the world, but hey, life goes on (for some of us), and so does love – and Capt’n Max and I are lucky indeed to be alive and in love! And despite our general antipathy to V-Day in all its chaste commercialism, we had a great Valentine’s Day 2024.

It was not very commercial (we didn’t even go anywhere), but it was delicious (home-cooked lobsters – yum!), not at all chaste (two orgasms just after midnight to kick it off, and three more to wind it up with el grando climaxo), Lupercalian (I wore little red Pan horns and drew a heart on my forehead like the Lupercii drew on their foreheads in goat’s blood, though I used lipstick for a less messy effect), bonoboesque (Happy World Bonobo Season! Save the Bonobos! Make Like Bonobos, Not Baboons!), slightly soused (Cheers to Absente Absinthe!), definitely aroused (we’re seniors, but not dead!) and very romantic (Max is Roman, after all).  

Your Bonobo Love-Crazy Elders on Lupercalian Valentine’s Day 2024

Valentine’s Day can be stressful, as we’ve acknowledged, and there are many ways to handle it. So imagine my surprise when I came across the worst piece of V-day advice on my news feed.  Dr. Laura Berman (who happened to interview me about fetishes back in 2002) advises couples to not have sex on V-day.  She advocates taking sex off the Valentine’s Day table entirely. Wow. This is not only odd, but part of a disturbing, anti-sex neo-puritan trend that is poisoning healthy human sexuality in our times.

My tip for V-day or any holiday is just the opposite. If you’re an experienced couple, make love first if you want to make love last.

Just after midnight as the holiday starts is perfect. Then, you can blaze through your day in a relatively stress-free afterglow. So, if it’s a bad day, or if you eat or drink too much and can’t have sex or don’t want to, it’s no big deal and no one will get *blamed* or have to *miss out,* because you already had sex. But if it’s a good day, and you’re feeling feisty, you can end the holiday on an orgasmic note and do it again.

That’s what we try to do on holidays, and that’s what we did this V-Day, and – even for two decrepit old fogies who can barely turn around without pulling a muscle – it hit the spot like Cupid’s arrow.

Free Julian Assange!

Brave and brilliant Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange is still in London’s bleak Belmarsh high security prison for exposing U.S. war crimes.

Because Assange has an important court date coming up, Capt’n Max and I – as well as Abe the Engineer and very passionately pro-Assange caller Maria – spend much of this show extolling his journalistic truth-telling, drooling over his sex appeal (well, I am), denouncing the slow, harsh torture to which he has long been subjected by the Anglo-American imperial regime(s) – despite the support of the world – and calling for his immediate release.

We have supported Julian Assange since before 2010, and so do many others around the world on the Right and Left who care about free speech and freedom of the press.

Assange is more than a great publisher; he is a survivor and a symbol of Freedom of the Press for all of us.

As I write this, Assange is about to mount a final plea for his right to appeal his extradition to the U.S. where his treatment will be even worse than Belmarsh, verging on deadly. We have been saying it for almost 15 years, but let us say it again: Free Assange!

META Arbitration Set for June 26

Meanwhile, sex education and information are being censored more and more, especially by META and its overlord, Mr. Mark Zuckerberg, whom I am taking to arbitration for their crimes, as we also discuss on this show.

Why are we taking META to arbitration? For the sake of freedom of speech, for the sake of fairness, for the sake of our mental health in the face of META’s dehumanization, for the sake of sex-positivity and sex education, for the sake of our freedom to be able to love whom we want to love – including ourselves –  in the privacy of our own homes.

Multiple SUZY award winner Chris G. calls in and eloquently pledges to write a letter to the arbitrator, having supported us against censorship for years, especially in Zuck the Cuck’s latest bot-driven fascist crackdown.

Save the date: June 26 for the arbitration of Dr. Susan Block vs. META and Mark Zuckerberg! Time: 10 AM PST. Location (in Los Angeles) TBA.

Bonobo Serenade

One of the literal high notes of this rather musical show is when Maria requests a song from Chris, and he obliges with a Leonard Bernstein-worthy rendition of West Side Story’s “Maria.”

Doesn’t seem that Chris’ bout with the ‘Rona affected his deep baritone. Hope your mom gets well too Chris!

Later Maria sings “Don’t Dream It, Be it” – substituting “Be Bonobo” for “Be It” – from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Since Susan Sarandon is one of the stars of that iconic movie, I give her a shoutout for her courageous and very bonobo activism on behalf of Palestine.

More topics on this show…

• My upcoming interview with a London podcast about another colorful character who passed through Bonoboville (before we called it Bonoboville), Jonathan Taylor Spielberg. Stay tuned for this unique Hollywood story.
• #GoBonobos for Fulton County, Georgia’s DA Fani Willis. Trump’s lawyers are trying to pin the scarlet letter because she had a consensual sexual affair with a lawyer whom she assigned to the Trump case (after they broke up). Well, she had her reasons, and none of them appear to be illegal. Maybe she’s right when she says that she’s not the one on trial; Trump and his mob are on trial for trying to “steal the election in 2020.” And she looks damn good saying it in her scarlet power dress.
• Another one of Trump’s lawyers, Alina Habba, who just lost her client $85 million to E. Jean Carroll and $355 million to the State of New York, once said she’d rather be pretty than smart because she can fake being smart. As in sex, so in law: it’s not so easy to “fake it.”
• Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was found dead in his prison cell. He was not a great guy, a bit of a fascist and certainly no Julian Assange, but they say he was poisoned by Tucker Carlson’s Bear Daddy Vlady Putin, and anything that makes Tucker blush as red as Fani Willis’ dress is okay with us.

Lots more on this rollicking and yet very serious ride. Fingers crossed (but not legs!) that the light at the end of the tunnel’s not another bomb.

Ceasefire Now in Gaza! End Apartheid in Palestine! Dump Trump! Stop Genociding, Joe! Free Assange! Be Bonobo.
