Dan Sinker/notes

Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

Been away from social media for a minute, and coming back I’m a little concerned that the water we’re all in is very hot, my fellow frogs.

Honestly for me personally this whole past week can fuck itself forever.

Spotty, you ate a million mysteries off the ground and loved every one of them. You were afraid of the rain and the dark. You were always there with us, wherever we went. You will be missed. A beautiful dog.

So there's some dude at the White House with a can of gold spraypaint whose entire job is to spray whatever Michaels-ass styrofoam piece of chintz gets delivered that day and then glue it to the wall?

Oh do you think? "Trump wants to box China out of global trade. That's proving hard to do."

I wrote six short scenes from the life of Hulk Hogan. From Wrestlemania III to the RNC. In reverse. dansinker.com/posts/202...

Just went to Brookfield, Illinois to play at the world's largest arcade and it was completely mind-blowing and overwhelming and amazing in all the best possible ways.

I wrote a post about visiting the last stamp store in Chicago and living a life that's fun, but worthless. I really like this one, hope you do too. dansinker.com/posts/202... Full chaos inside The Stamp King.

Is there a picture of the pube-signature yet or are we just going by description still

While the Washington Post continues its decline let's remember that just earlier this year some clown in management set a goal of getting 200 million readers, an impossible number that will never happen. Ms. Watford, who joined The Post in May, also laid out big-picture goals for the company. Among them: reach 200 million paying users, which the slide deck described as a “Big Hairy Audacious Goal,” or “B.H.A.G.”&10;&10;The slide deck compares the 200 million target with efforts to land a man on the moon — and it is an ambitious goal: The Post currently has fewer than three million digital subscribers; The Times, an industry leader, has roughly 11 million total subscribers.

Went to sell my dad's stamp collection today and the store was full chaos mode and the guy had a waxed mustache and gave me $25 and said "these are fun but worthless" and the whole thing was so perfect, an A+ end. A cluttered office space filled with stacks of books, boxes, files, and potted plants.

Everything is a lot. Here are three places I'm escaping to, if only for a brief moment on the internet. dansinker.com/posts/202...

there was a point not that long ago where "people sitting in their cars yelling about shit" was not a normal content type and honestly I think we should go back to that

Sometimes I am sad and sometimes I am numb but mostly I am very, very angry.
