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.
Just remembered the time I helped ProPublica reverse-engineer campaign emails. www.propublica.org/article/r...

I just listened back to a rough cut of a podcast pilot about Trump and professional wrestling I made four years ago that I couldn't sell and, while dated, it is as relevant today as it was then. Missed opportunity.

Just wrote the absolute *hell* out of something. Put myself through hell to get there. But got there.

Trying to force my dumb monkey brain to make sense of a narrative that I currently can barely hold together.

The Chicago Red Stars, an absolutely perfect team name, has changed to the Chicago Stars??? Someone walked into a meeting and was like "You know I don't think Chicagoans care about their flag that much, let's just drop the reference." And everyone else said "Great idea!"

On Rebel Spirit this week, Akilah, Elizabeth, and I explore every avenue to find Shaun Alexander, NFL legend and BCHS alum. In the process, we talk with folks about sports, politics, and the fear of speaking up. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...

A while back I made a patch that read "Trying" to remind myself that all I can really do is try. I made one for me, and then folks wanted them, and I made more but kept selling out. Now I've got plenty in stock and perhaps you need the same reminder. shop.dansinker.com/products/...

This might actually be the worst form on the internet. No basic data verification. Name, email and phone can be garbage. Address can be anything. No lockout after submit. It's just... trash? I know this should not be surprising but also it's sort of surprising. petition.theamericapac.org

This is way way WAY too close to a Says Who Podcast bit for my liking.
