I totally respect what @nguyen_amanda and @kimmythepooh have been sharing on the media in recent days, and while they're addressing fetishization, they're skipping the CORE issue in the ATL shootings:

the women shot were "masseuses" like Epstein's victims were masseuses.
And I understand discussing fetishization, but not explicitly discussing sex trafficking ignores what is perhaps the single most important element in the rampant objectification of AAPI women: they've been commodified.
And when the bodies of AAPI women, or women with brown skin are sold at discount rates along the interstate, they're viewed by those consuming the flesh as little more than the cheap disposable crap imported from Chinese factories.

Sex trafficking dehumanizes.
I strongly encourage both, especially @nguyen_amanda, to consider looking at the decades long string of evidence that the two Atlanta facilities have been engaged in human trafficking.

Your authoritative voice can make this connection clear to the country.
And ignoring the subject because it's "not nice" does more harm than good.

Happy to share additional non-public info - or you can just from read the book where the 2 ATL 'spas' are called out by name.

Gen X, particularly the Oregon Trail µgen, was the first generation to come of age with access to personal computers.

Exposure to this metaphor in interaction design innumerable times before getting laid -> we've internalized and identified with its utility.

Do Not Go Forward.
So, aside from the visual representation of the "Cancel" button literally BEING the name of the generation, we're a generation that has been been bred to (or driven to) adopt cynicism and an innate distrust of imposed authority.

And, until now, apathy.
You see, we're also the generation who was first raised on artificial sweeteners, milk & soda in plastic bottles - not glass, mono & diglycerides, PUFAs,

and the first generation to see an explosion in the number of children born on on the Autism spectrum.

Last year, someone turned the HBO series "Euphoria" on, and I was seriously disgusted within 30min by the graphic sexual interaction that was portrayed as between underage characters:

not b/c it corrupts teens, but b/c it's a thinly veiled replacement for child porn for adults.
I don't know if #BombayBegums has the same degree of fictional exploitation of underage characters as Euphoria did, but there's a reason that it's against the law for actors in porn to pretend to be under 18 -

because it normalizes the desire to rape children.
Discussion is fine. Making out? Whatever.

But if there's full frontal "child" nudity or simulated sex w/ underage characters, any other sexual content that might stimulate arousal _below_ the waist, seriously.

What I don't get about COVID & small businesses: TX commercial leases carry an explicit or implied warranty of suitability.

Why is the onus not on the landlord to make rental properties COVID-safe, or willingly waive rent until the business is able to SAFELY resume operations?
It seems that by allowing businesses to reopen at full capacity unmasked, but where it is unsafe for individual business owners to do so due to limitations of the facilities, the governor has screwed landlords by opening them up to new expenses to ensure 'suitability' -
whether remediation/ventilation upgrades and other enhancements necessary to ensure business owner/worker/public safety per both state AND OSHA guidelines (which I assume are WIP)

or face constructive eviction suits and be forced to pay the resulting damages to business owners.

I wonder how public response would have differed had it been suggested that either the original COVID19 strain, or some of the new variants actually WERE designed in a lab, and spread by hostile foreign actors.

Americans respond to an enemy they can understand.
Try as hard as you want, but most Americans won't get the 'motivations' of a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus.

A hostile sentient force, though - that we can understand.
Instead, we had vague allegations that it was China's fault, but were assured that there was no evidence it came from a lab or that it was intentionally released.

It usually takes 5-10 minutes or so to walk from DNC to RNC HQ. It took the pipe bomb courier about 23 min, iirc.

That doesn't match walking directly.

It precisely fits walking DNC-> Folger Park ~8pm, get bomb#2 -> RNC by 8:13.

A potential route:
It also explains why the courier walked back up the alley at 8:17 - they were headed back to their car.

What remains to be determined: what made them choose the path they took? Has anyone local mapped out if there are there surveillance cameras along the local streets?
One way to do this - at least to find cameras that have IR night vision - would be to walk the streets at night and record video on a camera without an IR cut filter (i.e. the front-facing cameras on cell phones would work) to detect point sources of IR on houses/poles/etc.

So, I wasn't going to say anything about this right now....

UNTIL I SAW THE T-SHIRTS.

FFS, how can ANYONE be reporting on this rapid tripling of the number of unaccompanied minors as anything other than an op?

They left A WEEK BEFORE THE ELECTION &
THEY HAVE BRAND NEW T-SHIRTS
There is ZERO chance that this migration began without at least a wink-wink-nudge-nudge from somebody linked to the GOP. Over the past 4 years, the 'caravans' were timed just perfectly for the 2018 and 2020 elections.

Actually...
In 2019, @priscialva noted the 'threat' of caravans had "fizzled out" - but then, of course...
