The Bayat Beat

Poor old Trump entering into his most anxiety producing indictment as he whines "I did everything right and they indicted me!" As much fun as it is to see the orange man squirm, we can't help but wonder how the radicals in this country will react. Will the fascistic elements in this country fizzle out or will they feel more emboldened to take action? A cornered and frightened animal tends to strike as if it were its last breath. How has the cultural angst shifted since January 6th? What does Barbie and Oppenheimer tell us about ourselves? And are we all morally culpable and ethically compromised living in Western capitalist society? Join us in the philosophical tradition of predicting the unpredictable!

"Do you think they see me?" One of our mascots thinks he is so, so clever.

Trying on Ms Marvel gear! Halloween costume, perhaps? Never too early to start planning.

When your dinner is so good that you must document it with a post.

Trick photography or were there two moons tonight? Of course, the night before we witnessed a big, glowing ball in the sky. What beauty and magic awaits us...

The before and after pics of flying for the first time since before the pandemic. Clearly, we were more relaxed on the flight home after a wonderful week at GA. Might have gotten some new The Bayat Beat fans, too.

In the wake of several deadly mass shootings across the United States the American people once again seek hope. The society with more guns than people, a society which seemingly prioritizes its guns over its children, is hurting. And where we seek hope, we only find sorrow as greedy politicians put....

We paused to take a photo with the camel from Egypt at the Cairo Shimmy Quake. This is what The Bayat Beat camel mascot would look like if it were all grown up. Second photo is the curtain call with all the fabulous performers. Great times! Hold onto your seats because a new episode of will be released today, and it is a deeply difficult conversation, but one we must all have right now.

Why, yes, Arabic pick and cafe mocha go together, why do you ask?

What a big boy! I mean the cat, y'all. Leo wants to say that a new episode of The Bayat Beat is coming out soon!

You know I'm hungry, right? Where is my Habibi to feed me? I will wait here. I know he will arrive soon.

This ginger was almost sent to live with his cousin because his behaviors have been less than stellar lately. But then he comes over and makes me pet him. Someone knows the way to my heart.

Say it isn't so! Our billionaire overlords are at it again. With Bezos and his Amazon cracking down on union organizing and Elon Musk trying to buy up Twitter, we are slowly getting the rug pulled out from under us. How much longer will it take for people to realize they simply don't care. They don't care for free speech, they don't care for the common people, and they don't care for that which is sacred. But are we any different? In a society that prides itself on individualism, are they just products of our own delusions? Are our ethics bound by our environment, or a reflection of an internal courage? If governments did not serve to regulate morality, what chaos would ensue? Money is the machine of power, and power corrupts absolutely. It's too bad you can't take all that with you when you die.

So, apparently, my family knows me too well. I told y'all that if you know then you need to connect us. Maybe we should have him on the podcast? Just sayin'...

Every moment is a new opportunity to transform. Every moment is a new beginning. May this holy month bring an abundance of change.

Somehow a singular violent act has taken the world by storm and sparked political discourse about the thresholds of acceptable violence, but the hypocrisy is apparent. While "The Slap" was an unnecessary violent outburst it is minuscule in comparison to the violence these institutions produce and promote. Remember when the Oscars booed an Indigenous woman (and that same woman was almost assaulted by John Wayne), when they booed Michael Moore for being against the Iraq War, or literally anytime they gave an award to a ra**st or pe*****le? Worse things have happened at the Oscars than two men who have known each other for 35 years having a disagreement. People saying "violence is never the answer" have never been slapped before and are blind to history and the violence these institutions produce. From Hollywood being at the forefront of spreading Islamophobia and anti-Blackness, to workers being forced to work 80+ hours a week with no end in sight, to the culturally imposed beauty standards, the discussion should be about how to fix the systemic issues not to create new ones.

The raising of gas prices oftentimes feels manipulative, cunning, and disingenuous. Our basic logic factors kick in as we see those price tags raise one dollar, then two dollars, then three! We can't help but ask why the the world's largest oil producer is raising the national average price of gas.....

Celebrating the release of The Bayat Beat, Season 3, Episode 1!Star Wars may have been mentioned. Baby Yoda likes that.

09/03/2022

The first episode of Season 3 is finally out! But it comes during such a dark time in history. It seems like war never ends. The "war to end all wars" was a fallacy to make us feel safe under our heavy handed overlords. When we think we have transcended beyond our base instincts we fall back down. W...

With over 300 injured almost 30 dead, many of which are children, Palestinians are facing rapid state sanctioned ethnic cleansing. They are being ripped from their homes, killed in the streets and beaten in their places of worship. The whole world is watching, but is the world listening? Is the worl...
