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.
As a parent of a Gen Z kid, I can tell you that their whole entire lives they've seen the government put them last. Guns, covid, student loans, cost-of-living, it's always their gen that has gotten fucked. This TikTok ban vividly reinforces what they already know.

The best time to start building a little spot for yourself on the internet independent of platforms was yesterday. The second best time is right fucking now.

Spent a bunch of the day with some folks passing through town and am convinced more than ever that person-to-person is how we're going to make it through this next stretch.

Anyone else find themselves just cruising along normally and then remember what happens on Monday and everything comes to a screetching halt?

Thinking a lot about how for those of us of a certain age, the people who taught us it was OK to be different are all leaving this earth and it feels so desperately lonely.

I've worked with dinks like this before that put enormous numbers on a slide deck and the bosses nod enthusiastically and reset everything to meet a made up goal that will never be achieved. (from www.nytimes.com/2025/01/1... )

Here we are, once again, welcoming you to Insomnia Club. It's the worst club, but we're in it together.

So like the tiktok ban just seems like a collosally stupid idea, poorly executed, and benefitting basically no one. Absolute A+ job all around.

For the last year I've been helping the Chicago Reader try and revitalize their web presence and strategy. It's been slow going and we were so close to some really cool things and yesterday the bottom fell out. chicagoreader.com/reader/pr...

Rather unexpectedly I've got a slightly freed-up work schedule and absolutely would love to work with good folks who have problems to solve. Drop a line!

Last night I wrote about Los Angeles and Chicago and ritual and rebuilding. It's a little love letter and a reminder that there is hope even after the darkest sunsets. dansinker.com/posts/202...

Well well welcome to Insomnia Club. I don't want to be here and neither do you. And yet here we are.
