The Sacred Dollar
Introduction In October 2025, Amazon announced it would lay off 14,000 corporate workers, despite reporting gross profits of $86.89 billion for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. This isn’t hypocrisy. It’s the logic of a system where money is sacred, and people are treated as machinery to be turned on and off as needed.

🇸🇦 The End of Kafala: How Saudi Arabia’s New Labor Reform is Reshaping the Lives of Foreign Workers
Introduction: A Historic Change in the Gulf For decades, the Kafala system — known as the sponsorship system — defined the working lives of millions of foreign laborers in Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf region. Under Kafala, a foreign worker’s legal residency and employment were tied to a local sponsor, or kafeel. This meant workers could not change jobs, leave the country, or even renew their visas without their sponsor’s consent.

Purpose and Heroism found in Charity
Today in my mailbox I found a lovely envelope stuffed with information about an organization I had never heard of: Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. They sent me a sample of Christmas cards painted by their mouth and foot artists such as the painting I've shared above. I'm astonished in the most pleasant way, and not slightly offended that they are requesting a donation for the Christmas cards. I have at times been accused of being a "rebel without a cause" but I do remind my accusers that I am an empathic, starving artist who can not afford to promote all the causes or charities that my heart goes out to. My artwork is strange and avant garde most of the time, yet I don't even think I'm in the same league as Iwao Adachi, who's talent to paint such a beautiful masterpiece by mouth is truly worth more than my meager donation.

Marx’s Forgotten Paradox
Few thinkers have shaped the modern world as profoundly as Karl Marx. His ideas sparked revolutions, inspired liberation movements, and influenced entire schools of thought, from sociology to political philosophy. Yet, there remains a striking paradox at the heart of his legacy: Marx, a man deeply moved by human suffering and exploitation, consistently rejected the language of morality.

Capitalism Ate the Internet (and I'm Still Hungry). Top Story - October 2025.
The internet used to be stupid in the best way. We spent hours playing free minigames on sites that would give modern cybersecurity experts night terrors, their sleep paralysis demon in the corner asking, “What’s ‘Taters’, eh?”. (Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew!) We watched pure stupidity to the tune of Charlie the Unicorn and Salad Fingers and Old Gregg. We thought we’d achieved the heights of comedy. And in some ways, we had.

No Kings Mental Health Monday!
Happy Mental Health Monday, friends! Today, we actually have some great things to take in.
