Advice

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and or action steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs).

I am going to give you some advice. It's good advice. It will help you. But you don't have to take it, if you want your life to suck.

My advice is this...for the next TWO MONTHS (9/3/26 to 11/3/26), abstain from ALL but the most essential social and mainstream media (SMSM). SMSM is no longer a source of credible information and useful knowledge. It is quite likely to make you measurably DUMBER (intellectually) and ANGRIER (emotionally). These two outcomes are synergistically super BAD together. They are a perfect storm for making you say and do really undesirable and regrettable things. SMSM will bring tons of toxic negativity and vitriol into your life over the next two months, because of the upcoming Midterm Elections, and let's be honest...you don't need that poison in your life right now. 

Reclaim your mental, physical, and spiritual well being...put SMSM out of your life for two whole beautiful peaceful drama-free months. If you want to let it back in after 11/3/26, that's OK. But I assure you, disenfranchising SMSM for the next two months will be the best thing you ever did for yourself.

Most of you won't believe me and won't take my advice. That's OK. Your life will suck, but that's on you, not me. I can only lead the proverbial horse to water.

Take care!

Biking

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or actions steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs).

I am specifically contributing to the DFU demise through intentional action this weekend. This action is manifested through bike rides.

Of course, I continue to generally contribute to the DFU demise through intentional positive lifestyle choices: driving less; biking more; shopping local; boycotting shopping online; boycotting social and mainstream media (SMSM).

I know I harp on it a lot, but the last contribution - boycotting SMSM - is one of the most potent intentional actions you can do to deprive the DFUs of their existence. Because, as many of you may already know, their existence depends SOLELY on the Attention Economy. That economy needs to collapse, if humanity is to have any hope of surviving the AI revolution.

Well, I gotta go prep for an impending bike ride. Today, it's riding the Great Sauk Trail, with the Wisconsin Bike Group (WBG). Then, I'll be dropping a bike off at the bike shoppe to have a minor technical issue looked at, and hopefully resolved. I need to meal prep and make a massive salad this afternoon. There was talk of a family boating outing later in the day, but some technical difficulties and weather challenges may (and likely will) derail that. I hope I am proven wrong, though.

The DFUs Are Taking a Beating

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or action steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs). I guess my pep rally post a few weeks ago was motivational for some of you, because the DFUs are taking a hefty beating lately. That warms my cockles. Good work!

I am still a bit discouraged by how few people are boycotting and disenfranchising social and mainstream media (SMSM) though, since these are currently some of the most toxic things that humanity has ever encountered, due to AI's involvement. SMSM makes you measurable dumber and angrier [SOURCE].

If the metric is DIABOLICAL EVIL, then SMSM scores very high. Empirically speaking, one almost has to admire SMSM's insidiousness. It simultaneously poisons and reprograms your mind while stimulating the pleasure centers of the brain that prevent you from realizing what TF is happening to you (in fact, you even feel paradoxically good about your misery!). It's like the "cocaine rats" in those old experiments that predated animal cruelty laws. These rats would drink the cocaine water vs the un-cocaine water until they died, oblivious that they were poisoning themselves because they felt SO GOOD!

Nobody Reads This

Hi Dear Readers!

How are you? I hope you are well. I know that you are if you are an adherent of the Church of Bike With Joe, because you have minimized or eliminated your exposure to toxic social and mainstream media (SMSM), and are aerobically exercising and eating healthy religiously (in the secular sense of the word).

I mowed the lawn this morning, intentionally directed at the expedited demise of the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs), and one in particular. How are you putting good into the world and bringing Karmic Justice to all the DFUs? Leave a comment letting us know.

I came to a realization today...that the SMSM AI Algorithm is relegating this blog to the proverbial sidelines of the Internet, preventing you from accessing its profound benefits for mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. The purveyors of SMSM need you to be addicted to it for purposes of mind control. I know that sounds like a conspiracy theory, and I am totally against conspiracy theories, but it is not. If you google "brain hacking 60 minutes," you'll find a 60 Minutes segment with Anderson Cooper that validates this narrative, with no conspiracy theory needed.

This blog is an existential threat to SMSM because this blog promotes avoiding SMSM, whose very existence depends on people not avoiding it but rather being addicted to and dependent on it.

I don't have a solution for this. But...if you do have the good fortune to stumble upon this blog, please share it with friends and family, if you care about their salvation.

If you care about the planet, consider that the server farms required to support social media and AI use ridiculous amounts of energy. So every time you use them you are killing the planet.

Great News

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or action steps for bringing about the demise of the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs). If not, then I hope you at least have a very good day.

I have some great news to share. I have received indications from the Cosmos that the DFUs are going to suffer a significant setback soon, probably within a week, and definitely within a fortnight. I just wanted you to know and perhaps this great news will float your proverbial boat today.

Take care!

0 Day

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you some joy, peace, insight, and/or action items for the defeat of the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs).

This past Saturday (yesterday), many of us celebrated the final day of the 12 Days to the Demise of the DFUs. The rituals of the holiday, when followed, are intended to usher in the destruction of the DFUs, via Karmic Justice. Much like the Easter holiday of a lesser known religion, which prophesies the resurrection of a mythical deity, the expectations are often not matched by Reality. And that's OK. We come together with common cause.

I had a fantastic closure to 12 Days. Deborah and I took the Madison BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) downtown and hit the Dane County Farmers Market opening day, securing some gourmet mushrooms and some lettuce seedlings for the garden, along with more sweet pastry treats than we had any business purchasing. Since it was by definition a FREE DAY (holiday feast day + farmers market pastries), we enjoyed it. We took my folks out for Chinese food at the Hong Kong Cafe in the evening. On Sunday (today), I rocked and rehearsed a bunch of tasty rock-n-roll songs for an upcoming jam with some buddies.

That's about it.

SMSM Boycott Reminder

Hi Readers!

I hope this post finds you and brings you some happiness or wealth, whatever your preference. 

I interrupt the enjoyable and entertaining travelogue episodes of late to remind you all to consider the significant advantages of boycotting all social and mainstream media (SMSM). SMSM is toxic and destructive to your mental, physical, and spiritual well being. It literally makes you dumber, angrier, and unhappier when you consume it, and it has no significant return on investment for your happiness or wealth. In fact, it addicts you to grievance, which is a miserable existence.

Abstaining from SMSM makes you smarter and happier and less burdened by grievance. I cannot prove this to you by way of a simple blog post, such as this. But...you can literally prove it to yourself. Simply abstain from SMSM for a minimum of two weeks (ideally a month) and see the benefits for yourself. You will 1000% notice the positive improvements to all domains of your wellness. If abstaining from SMSM for that long scares you or fills you with anxiety, guess what? You are addicted to grievance.
