they really have absolutely no idea for how to get out of this

conditioning talks on your adversary giving up their strongest point of leverage — which they wouldn’t even have if it weren’t for your mistakes — is an utterly unserious, clown position

the phrase “react with video” fills me with an overwhelming sense of repulsion

goon shortages persist and worsen

this is how i feel practicing the new set we are playing ON FRIDAY, JUNE 12TH AT TURN TURN TURN, BE THERE

i am sure glad so many people are going so far out of their way to ensure this guy’s grossly overvalued space company gets to embed itself in everyone’s portfolio like a tick

really he's just going to coffee with friends. excel mistakes everything for a date

chat I can’t do graham platner discourse every day until the election I gotta tap out for a while

i do sort of wonder whether trump throwing his hands up, resigning, and making all of this vance’s problem is an underrated possible outcome

I wrote about The Westing Game, book bans, and not lying to kids as part of my "Foundational Texts" essay series. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

most of this sounds like US sources trying to make trump look tough on netanyahu

everything about this admin is so fucking weird.

on the bright side, we have set around $100B of our own money on fire for this outcome

this is one of those “at all costs, avoid this outcome” outcomes

I did a new comic for the Westword that will be appearing in the latest issue. A walk down and revisiting a part of Denver that I formally did a comic about in early 2022. A lot has changed and I had to make my way around barriers, orange barrels, and construction. Keep an eye out later this week!

i would like a reporter to ask trump how long he believes a week to be

i won’t believe the slush fund is dead until trump cries about it on truth social, until that point, i assume he plans on pushing it forward regardless of what his aides and republicans in congress have told him, axios gets things wrong *a lot*

setting aside the question of whether trump has the ability or capacity to make a deal with iran at any price — i think he can tank one, but may not be able to make one — he’s only one of multiple unreliable and erratic parties involved, some of whom have little interest or incentive in stopping

What I’m hearing: Instagram’s Trust and Safery org absolutely gutted the last few weeks. ~60% of the org gone - between layoffs and forced reassignments to data labelling. All while “AI maxxing” pushed a bunch of bugs to prod. And hence why today’s massive Instagram account takeover happening.

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

if this is what’s happening, it’s not an “AI” problem as much as it is a staggering product management and security failure

guess those phone calls with netanyahu and hezbollah that maybe did or maybe didn’t happen didn’t actually accomplish anything

our very stable president definitely knows what’s going on

this seems like an increasing disconnection from reality

While I wasn’t exhibiting, I was fortunate to be asked to be apart of a panel at Fan Expo this past weekend about indie comic creation in Denver along with Sean Callahan, Dave Dwonch, and Travis Hymel. It was a blast, had a brillliant time doing it, and hope it helped people in the audience.

amongst everything else wrong with this, i am not convinced we *want* to publicly own 50% of these companies.

95% done, just a couple final details to iron out

Pure facts. The "Pod Save" crowd treated Platner like a shiny content piece to lecture working-class voters with, and now that his text leaks and Reddit history have imploded the race, they’re trying to make it your fault. Vote the line, but absolutely reject the gaslighting.

this is disingenuous insulting fucking horseshit. it’s fine to say any dem is better than any republican, but the obama boys made a bad early bet with platner and this is their attempt to make that *your* fault and to put that on *you*. vote platner if you’re in maine, but fuck these guys.

i am tempted to do a whole series of show flyers with the portlandia sculpture because it fucking rules, the only sculpture of this type larger than this one in the US is the statue of liberty

every time someone posts a picture of trey gowdy on social media, people are taken aback by his hair, but he’s looked like a member of a new wave band for decades, what’s weirder is how much work he’s had done. it’s also never not funny that jordan always looks like roast beef left out for two days

Issuing a new tax: If you engage in Maine Senate Race discourse, you are obligated to pay one (1) pdf to your nearest bsky mod

it’s cool, we have endless reserves of oil

for those of you in portland, we've got a show coming up in a couple of weeks at TURN TURN TURN, should be a lot of fun

here's a question for used-car knowers, which i am not: have prices on used mercedes dropped precipitously in recent years? i feel like i see a lot more of them around in, well, kind of beater-quality than i ever remember seeing, but i just might not have noticed

the thing about this is that wireless choices have basically never been better; i pay less now for two mobile lines than i paid 5 years ago for one, but internet service has been far slower to improve and competition has been even slower to build

it's kind of infuriating that in the year of our lord 2026 in a dense area of a medium sized city, my home internet options are still essentially limited to a single provider

anyway, if you’re a headphones person, do this one and chase it with the stones’ moonlight mile, both at full volume

man, i think an awful lot of post-torch singer tom waits is kind of a waste of effort and time, but occasionally you get a “come on up to the house” out of him, which for any other artists would be the greatest song they ever wrote, and it’s barely in his top 5

i am grudgingly accepting that even if i want US politics to be way less online, mamdani’s shtick of posting every time the government fills a pothole is probably rhe only constructive way to deal with this issue

i just tried to imagine klingon gg allin and my brain threw up

decline of klingon civilization

as a PSA, the maine wire is a right wing vanity rag and you should be very suspicious of how they cover platner stories, and i am going to mute this immediately because i do not care about maine

deal’s 95% done

happy birthday burnside bridge, this party is objectively perfect, major kudos to the county. We should do this every year

shitfaced klingon housing an entire plate of dumpster nachos 30 minutes before closing time

every klingon bar scene — and there are a *lot* of klingon bar scenes — make them look like fucking heshers when they’re not on duty

even the AI slop version of him looks old and tired as shit

They ended up running down the railroad tracks, pursued by about 50-60 activists and quickly left. Lmao

extremely funny to go to a circle jerks show and think your maga shit would be welcome
