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.

Lol Apple never knocked down the price of the Vision Pro down????

Just had to scrap a whole blog post highlighting a bunch of rad signpainters because Instagram doesn't allow inline playback of reels, instead the "embed" function is basically just a gigantic box with a link back to Instagram. We used to have a functional web and we gave it all away for nothing.

The kid got perhaps the greatest knockoff Lego set of all time. A Lego set of Garfield inside a slice of lasagna

I'm just not going to take health advice from a guy who wears jeans to the gym, let alone all his other fucking problems.

Got some new thermal labels for the whistle operation. A bag of colorful plastic whistles with a QR code pointing to toot.supply and a label warning of choking hazards.

The national media moved on from Minnesota because they haven't killed another observer. People gotta die to get them out of New York.

It's endlessly funny to me that the *one* guy these folks have is Kid Rock. That's it. That's the whole bench.

Gonna have a lot more to say about the incredible work of this crew of whistle goblins in a post tomorrow, but for me, personally, I just printed my 10,000th whistle.

The whistle goblins shipped 100,000 whistles in the first four days of February. And today? The fifth day? 37,000 more. This is perhaps the most inspiring act of collective action I've ever been lucky enough to be a part of. Help by buying filament: linktr.ee/WhistleWi...

Just a reminder that Border Patrol was created in 1924 when the Klan was at the height of its political influence.

remote school today because of the cold and every "can you hear me" literally triggers PTSD from the year of zoom school

Just interviewed for a documentary about the Promise Ring, so I am going to go crumble into dust now.

Everyone's just trying to live their lives the best they can. And these motherfuckers are just wilding out, marauding, terrorizing for no fucking reason beyond "they can." This helps nobody. This benefits zero people. This is dropping entire communities into a nightmare for sport.

800 whistles packed up and shipping to six different towns, coast to coast. Six bundles of whistles packed with notes that say "blow hard, be safe"
