Capitalism has this neat way of distilling down the essences of basic, biological needs in humans and turning it into garbage that we become addicted to. We need fat and salt, thus we have McDonald's. We need attention, thus we have social media. But the problem...

I'm just sitting here, disgusted. I left the US as a home almost 8 years ago, but I never left my love for the place and people. I can't do anything more than be shocked and horrified by what is happening, but I take refuge in the hope that Americans are still mostly good.

I've just learned of the atrocity that Americans call "sauna". It's dry, no throwing löyly. As a Finn, that's not a sauna, that's a sparkling thermostat.

My mom is dying and I have to live with the fact that I probably will have to say goodbye to my parents from across the Atlantic Ocean. My mother is in the hospital with heart failure, and my father won't survive long without her. 😭 I don't know what to do.

When you make wealth a virtue, it's easier to demonise the poor and dismiss them as unworthy of attention. This is how they divide and distract us. Meanwhile, they destroy the environment, steal our information, and blame us for being stupid enough to believe them. Fight back!

55 years ago today the CPD murdered Fred Hampton of the Black Panthers in an illegal raid. Meanwhile Leonard Peltier still languishes in prison 49 years after defending himself from an illegal raid. You have my commitment to continue speaking truth to power. Join me: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

This show was so well-done, and Karis' manifesto is one of the best parts.

It's not the circumstances of the death of the UHC CEO that were shocking. Lots of people are murdered in the daytime, on a street, or by guns. It's the fact that a rich man was killed this way. We don't expect rich people to die like that. Just everyone else.

Because of the Dune Prophecy tv show I've been rereading some Dune lore (not that I needed the excuse). I'm convinced that the Bene Tleilax are just clones of Elon Musk and other tech bros.

When conversing with MAGATS it's useful to remember Hanlon's Razor "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Don't give up on your conservative/maga relatives. My formerly Republican sister just called Nancy Mace a thundercunt. 😂

So, what ate your weird ADHD traits? Not just time-blindness. Not just impulsivity. Give me weird.
