Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Pretty sure they can't repeal a scientific finding NYT, that's not how science works.

Voting rights and redistricting. Spanberger and the Virginia leg are wasting no time delivering for their voters. Love it.

When I decided to stop using gendered insults, it really made me up my game and really focus on what makes a person suck.

Just think. Joe Rogan could have had Fear Factor the bank where the ATMs dispense tarantulas and cash

That seems likely.

Is this gonna be like โ€œif you go a month without showering, Iโ€™ll add a hundred bucks to your savings account?โ€

This is the best encapsulation of my view that Iโ€™ve seen in a while. Take meeting notes so everyone can focus on participation? Great. I mean, maybe stop hallucinating that we suggested sodomizing as a marketing technique but itโ€™s in the right ballpark of useful function.

I love this. Itโ€™s like watching a whistle voltron form from all these people I followed on Bluesky for entirely unrelated reasons.

Further evidence our own government wants us sicker, poorer, and afraid.

โ€œToss a coin to your whistlerโ€ was right there!

Have the house to myself. Should my afternoon work be done to the sounds of jersedelphia punk (souls, gaslight, Thursday, Hause) or Chicago punk (Alk trio, Larry arms, sincere engineer)?

Check out my list on Amazon

Do you want to help Minneapolis out in a different way? Help set up some new street medics so that they can make sure community members are cared for at protests.

To be clear this isnโ€™t throwing shade at Philly. I used to live in a town that had multiple riots at its annual arts (like arts and crafts) festival

Iโ€™m waiting to see if Philly will riot even though the eagles arenโ€™t playing.

Everyone try it. You can even do it from your own home!

Potato bingo. Did it for OT for one of my kids. Kinda want it all the time now. Literally just potatoes prepared like ten ways.

This take gives me the ick, man. The romance genre isnโ€™t my cup of tea but this is shitty for the consumer who believes they are paying for something someone actually wrote and put effort into and itโ€™s shitty for the writers whose work was fed into the model without permission.

Whistle Up 2: Rise of the Whistle Goblins | dansinker.com

Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed A HALF MILLION whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

Y'all, we did it. ๐Ÿ’• This crew of chaotic nerds has sent half a million whistles to people requesting them, for free. With your help!

Need whistles?

I'm going to say this again in case you haven't heard this one: I was a talented writer and it did *nothing whatsoever* because I hadn't put in the work, and I put in the work for ten years (subtracting the bit where I had to quit for my mental health) to write Witchmark

talent alone could *never*

Read this while catching up on the foundation adaptation. So that was a fun mental exercise.
