El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

Shock: Oh no, they shipped DHL Denial: I got a USPS code so maybe it's not with DHL? Anger: DHL is gonna lose my shit again Bargaining: Does the DHL website seem better? Guilt: Buying local would have avoided DHL Depression: It's gone. It's gone. It's gone Acceptance: DHL app says Thursday now

*visibly sweating trying to come up with a post in response to this* Um, the marker pens in unis are the community dick of the higher educational system.

It says something about pedagogy that finding a working marker pen at an educational establishment is getting impossible nowadays. So I bought these from the nearby supermarket and they were a lifesaver today. My girlfriend is going to repost this later with something amusing about trash boyfriends

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

I think there's a case to be made that we should care whether people in power are, in fact, total jerks. In today's video, I muse about exactly that: why isn't empathy treated as a prerequisite to shape public opinion or policy? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

i just got back from one of my many trips to detroit and was really shocked at what i heard in all the black churches i went to (as is my wont) -- they're saying this guy has no chance. and its not for me to interfere with what michiganders want

i think i could probably pivot to liberal pundit pretty successfully. "look, I'm not saying this el-sayed guy is a danger to women, im just saying it's important that we make sure he isn't. and if he's the nominee we will have a lot of explaining to do to black women in our coalition, who hate him"
