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 spent nearly two hours in a line of cars to drop food off for families losing their SNAP benefits. Right now is a literal nightmare but it is incredible to see communities coming together. Everyone understands that the only ones to save us is us.

Of all the kids on Halloween I love the surley teens with their backpacks on the front the most. Get your candy kids, don't say thanks, the night is yours.

Today in Evanston: helicopters overhead constantly, ICE jumping out across the entire town, people getting snatched outside of schools, a guns-drawn confrontation at an intersection after hitting a car, schools on soft lockdown, and they're STILL roaming around in full tactical gear.

ICE marauding around Evanston all day, snatching people near schools, all schools on soft lockdown, on fucking Halloween. 🖕🖕

Maybe there's some 4D chess to starving 40 million Americans, doubling healthcare costs on another 20 million, and sending masked goons out on the streets to snatch and disappear an untold number more, but honestly I'm not seeing it.

Recently I've been combing through newspapers from a hundred years ago, and in the spirit of the season (and in the spirit of procrastination) I've assembled a little gallery of Halloween advertisements from 1925 on my site: dansinker.com/posts/202...

Fun new game I get to play every day: leaf blower, train, or fascist helicopter.

In better news I got to go to the GWAR exhibit in LA and it's such an incredible testament to their... uh... unique artistic vision.

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it's like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202...

Helped two teens who were hiding from ICE this morning after a third had been snatched on Oakton in Evanston. They're safe, half dozen community members responded. Adrenaline crash happening now.

I know it's not exactly the point but like... Someone just rented an excavator and... drove it to the White House? And someone else said "Great, the excavator's here" and was like "Just rip down that wall, don't worry about the windows or anything, just maximum ripping please."

Probably not great to have pretty much every major site on the internet running through Amazon's Virginia infrastructure. downdetector.com
