Daniel Carkner🥀<p>Almost got hit by a car on my 6am bike ride in the dark to the swimming pool.. It was an Evo (car sharing) where the windows were mostly frosted over so my lights and reflective jacket apparently didn't register at all. On an official city bike route too (Woodland), but these days that doesn't mean safety, it just means deserted side street with no witnesses 🫣🦺</p><p><a href="https://historians.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketooter</span></a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/EastVan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EastVan</span></a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/BadDrivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BadDrivers</span></a></p>
Inside the Red Head's Head<p><strong>Self Distraction</strong></p><p>Here is a picture of a cute kitty to distract us all from the end of civilization and the unchecked rise of evil in the largest nuclear power on Earth. Yippee for cute kitties!</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54281359250/in/datetaken/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54281359250/in/datetaken/</a></p><p>I am completely on edge. I’ve actually caught myself a couple of times today sitting at my desk working while my hands are balled up in fists, white knuckles and all. Nothing’s going badly at work. All is a-ok. It’s just the rest of the world that has me so tensed up.</p><p>On the drive in today there were a bunch of times when I saw someone driving like an asshole (this is Massachusetts after all) and I thought to myself, I bet he voted for that nazi fuck and is driving like that because he knows he can get away with anything (including treason) so long as he wears that stupid fucking red hat. As I said this is Massachusetts so the chances of randomly running into a maga cult asshole are much less than 50/50. Still, I am so mad at the state of things right now that even here in the happy Blue State I am seeing fascists everywhere.</p><p>I hate him. I hate what he stands for. I hate those who figuratively suck his dick in exchange for being able to openly express their bigotry and hatred and racism and misogyny and antisemitism and anti-everyone who isn’t a straight white male. Fuck, I hate all of this nazi bullshit.</p><p>Breath. Count to 10. Look at the cute kitty*. Deal with it. It’s only been two days, but that’s two days closer to being able to kick these fuckers to the curb.</p> <p>*Fans of The Walking Dead will note that I did not say look at the flowers. No… that would mean something entirely different and much, much darker. Look at the flowers, Lizzie. BLAM.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/bad-drivers/" target="_blank">#badDrivers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/blue-state/" target="_blank">#blueState</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/cat/" target="_blank">#Cat</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/evil/" target="_blank">#EVIL</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/fascism/" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/iphoneography/" target="_blank">#iphoneography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/kitty/" target="_blank">#Kitty</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/lizzie-and-mika/" target="_blank">#lizzieAndMika</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/look-at-the-flowers/" target="_blank">#lookAtTheFlowers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/look-at-the-flowers-lizzie/" target="_blank">#lookAtTheFlowersLizzie</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/maga-are-nazis/" target="_blank">#magaAreNazis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/maga-is-evil/" target="_blank">#magaIsEvil</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/maga-is-fascism/" target="_blank">#magaIsFascism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/massachusetts/" target="_blank">#Massachusetts</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/massachusetts-drivers/" target="_blank">#massachusettsDrivers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/nazis/" target="_blank">#nazis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/photography/" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/robin/" target="_blank">#robin</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/television/" target="_blank">#Television</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/the-walking-dead/" target="_blank">#TheWalkingDead</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/trump-is-a-fascist/" target="_blank">#trumpIsAFascist</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/trump-is-a-nazi/" target="_blank">#trumpIsANazi</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://robertjames1971.blog/tag/trump-is-evil/" target="_blank">#trumpIsEvil</a></p>

Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0<p>How to misdirect with indicators: "Median travel speeds are only slightly above the 15-mph target (17 mph averaged across the corridor).” I don't know about you, but I'm a lot more concernd about the high end speeds, not that only half the cars exceed 17 mph.
