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.

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."

If you're looking for ICE whistles, can confirm that these Shein-supplied ones come without tariffs, in less than a week, and cost $6 for 20 m.shein.com/us/20-Eme...

I wrote a little bit about the 400th episode of Says Who podcast, a show that was supposed to last 8 episodes, and the power of making things with your friends. dansinker.com/posts/202...

A problem with researching stuff from 100 years ago is that I get very easily distracted by all the ads in newspapers.

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today's youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.
