I'm on a research trip this week and last night I wrote about the past and the present and the fuzzy lines that separate them. https://dansinker.com/posts/2026-03-24-muncie/

I got the shittiest fortune cookie fortune ever.

Covid was the first time he couldn’t just bullshit his way out of something. We might be seeing the second.

It’s 70 degrees and my grocery store’s snow-and-dirt mountain is still holding strong.

Never in a million years would I have expected Bikini Kill in a Disney movie

What an honor to spend $4.29 a gallon to fill my tank, god bless our troops 🫡

Not gonna brag or anything, but I just got to fill out two supplimental financial aid forms for my kids college and now get to go to the oral surgeon.

A week or so ago @theverge published an incredible comics-essay about Danny Fenster, who was locked up in a Burmese prison in 2021. Danny was also my student in another lifetime. I wrote a short piece about this extraordinary piece of journalism.

Did two kick-ass interviews for the next season of Rebel Spirit today, including perhaps one of my favorite quotes ever: “One of my hobbies is killing dead confederates.”

Yes, sign me up for that hobby as well.

Spent most of my day today dredging some kind of eldritch horror up from my bathtub drain. Missed all the nice weather, not a fair trade.

Finally a Lego set for shipping sickos.

Do RFK jr next.
