This is literally a photograph of me.

A black-and-white cartoon titled **“Bum-Rush Hour.”** It shows a chaotic traffic scene with several vehicles and a cyclist.

In the center, a small car labeled **“Innocent Normal People Who Drive Cars”** is being squeezed between traffic. Inside, a frightened driver and passenger scream as a bicycle wheel and handlebars intrude near the car. A speech bubble says, **“Th-that bike! Squeezing us in! Not enough room in lane… AIIEEE!!”**

On the left, a cyclist wearing a helmet rides aggressively alongside the car. Their shirt says **“Two-Wheeled Terrors,”** and they shout, **“Dad! Look out!”** and **“Ring ring!”** Another nearby bubble reads **“Heh, heh, heh!”**

On the right, another driver leans out of a car, shouting **“HONK!”** A jagged sound effect near the vehicle says **“SCREECH!”** At the bottom right, a small angry-looking pedestrian or commuter appears beside the caption **“Kami-commuter-kaze.”** The overall scene portrays rush-hour traffic as wildly dangerous and overcrowded, humorously pitting cyclists against car drivers.

Someone's bot got out of control and I received 600 spammy ransomware emails in the last three days. Getting spammy shit not that unusual, but getting 600 all at once is kinda wild.

A view inside my inbox with a bunch of emails to me all with the same exact description "YOU GOT RECORDED!"

I have solar panels. It's easy for me to forget how cool it is that the sun cooks my food and propels my e-bike. My lights, my air conditioning, my home server, and my main laptop are all powered by the sun. Somehow I lucked out, and I got the solar panels […] [Original post on mastodon.sdf.org]

No more DEI, critical race theory, gender-neutral, blue hair, septum piercing, feminist bike lanes!

Sreenshot:

“Remember when Biden and Boot-edge-edge used YOUR MONEY for DEI bike lanes and climate change?

THAT’S OVER

With this funding is officially locked in to fix America’s actual backbone: ROADS, BRIDGES, AND SHIPPING PORTS @realDailyWire @dailywire.com/news/tump-...”

(then the image quote:)

“America is fortunate to have a Builder in the White House who knows America’s actual backbone are the infrastructure. That’s why this Department is investing in repair critical roads and bridges that connect Americans to jobs opportunities, port infrastructure that bolsters our national security, and aviation and transit projects that move American families.”

My journey so far with @GrapheneOS has been awesome. Having a main system #degoogled but able to grab access to the few proprietary apps I use is awesome. Sadly the Transit app I rely on REQUIRES the play store.

2. **YouTube**
3. **YT Music**
4. **AARP Now**
5. **Authenticator**

I've spent a lot of money on tablets, surface laptops, and stylus pens. I've done more drawing on a cheap USB HUION Inspiroy H610X tablet than I ever did on my Samsung Ultra Tablet. There's probably a lesson to be learned here or something.
