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.

It is, in fact, extremely hot.

Why would you design these to look like you have a swollen nose? Mark Zuckerberg wearing his stupid glasses that don't fit

Last Juneteenth I was in a public park in Florence, Kentucky sweating so badly my headphones disintegrated while capturing audio on our last reporting trip for Rebel Spirit. This Juneteenth you can listen to the full run of our incredible, award-winning show. rebelspiritpodcast.com

"held court" is what they're calling it now huh. Mr. Musk even held court regularly off the clock at the home Ms. Miller shares with Stephen Miller, President Trump’s most powerful policy aide, and their three young children, according to people familiar with the matter.

One in every 70 Americans was on the streets yesterday and it's not on the NYT front page 24 hours later.

If the 5 million number is accurate that means one in every 70 people in this country was on the streets today.

I'm very checked out this week because of reasons, but I love Los Angeles so much for all the reasons that these fuckers hate it and I thought I'd share this bit of writing I did about LA during the fires: dansinker.com/posts/202...

Deploying ICE, the Border Patrol, the LAPD, the LA County Sheriffs, and now the National Guard and maybe the Marines over a small protest at a Home Depot is not the show of force they think it is.

Chicago remains undefeated. A display case contains Italian beef croissants, other pastries, and a decorated cake.

For more than a year, I've been writing essays about Punk Planet, the miracle of a magazine I worked on for 13 years. All that time I've been dreading writing this ending, because the reality is this: Sometimes things end and you never get over it. dansinker.com/posts/202... the cover of Punk Planet 80

New favorite football crest just dropped. A seagull perched on a soccer ball is depicted on the Scarborough Athletic FC logo with the motto "No Battle, No Victory."

The Times finally reporting what we all could see: Musk was absolutely tripping balls the entire time he destroyed the government. Very polite of them to wait to drop this until he'd left the position. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/3... Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.

Why in the fuck would I want to do that? An invitation to chat with an AI named Sloppy Mustard Man, a person covered in mustard and sitting in a messy kitchen, surrounded by containers and food.
