Daniel Hansen @danrhan.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Trump has repeatedly failed his base on the issues they voted for. The economy is in the toilet, he started a new foreign war he can't end, and he hasn't even delivered on immigration. The only people left he can please are the flag-wavers who care about America's name above all else. Thus the lake. 010

Daniel Hansen @danrhan.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Something really needs to be done about the mismatch between high school and college writing. Students come to college with such counter-productive ideas about writing (that you should always avoid repetition, or that passive voice is inherently bad) that have clearly been hammered in as axiomatic. 020

That's innovation! F1 has to go to other continents to do that! 418640
Daniel Hansen @danrhan.bsky.social · 31/01/2026For a series that wants to attract a wider audience and achieve legitimacy on the world stage, IndyCar is certainly making some... choices 010
Daniel Hansen @danrhan.bsky.social · 31/01/2026A take that's hot, but still being formulated (a baking take?): Sports boycott discourse needs more nuance.
