In particular Aneesh Bhoopathy, from the design coop Forge, who designed the identity. A brilliant reminder to *employ human creatives!*

Wise words from Professor Nur Masalha:
"Some wonder rightly: Will he disappoint us after winning? Let me put it this way: even by the standard of what he has done so far (which no Arab leader has had the courage to do): standing up to Trump, we can attribute a lot of credit to this man."

Austin Kelmore @austinkelmore.com · 16h

Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help them survive and fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union.

Help them fight back! If you can, any little bit you can donate will massively help their efforts.

It's interesting because that font and the colour choices they had are definitely something they associate with his campaign, but also, they were simultaneously posting things I can only describe as Family WhatsApp Group imagery, which I associate with him now.

South East Asian Parents making comparisons to their own kids' achievements after Zohran Mamdani's victory:

Irrfan Khan doing the Drake Meme where the top photo is him looking away in disapproval, with text on the right saying "Sharma Ji Ka Beta" i.e. Mr. Sharma's Son.

(This is a popular phrase of comparison in our culture)

The bottom photo is Irrfan Khan looking up in approval with his finger pointed up, and the text on the right saying "Mira Ji Ka Beta" i.e. Ms. Mira's Son.

Gene Takavic @saulbahah.bsky.social · 7h

That "Sharmaji Ka Beta" line retired and "Miraji Ka Beta" line took its place.
