What do you call it when you get busy with your own timeline variant
Typo, I think you meant “sexus event”
“Getting a little Me Time”

To those fueling the current media trend of attacking masks as “unnecessary virtue signaling” now that the “pandemic is over” is that:

A. the pandemic isn’t over and
B. you’re going to get people harassed and hurt, and a disproportionate number of them will be Asian
Mask wearing has always been a prosocial behavior, not a selfish one. But it’s generally hard to convince Americans to do anything that doesn’t lean into self interest, so getting them to wear masks was messaged as about protecting YOURSELF. It isn’t.
qz.com/299003/a-quick…
When you wear a mask, you protect OTHERS if you happen to be infectious. And it works best when mask wearing is normalized—or at least not actively condemned—because like vaccination, it’s a herd wellness phenomenon. And yes, people mask up in Asia regularly during flu season.

Three brutal and totally random attacks against Asians in less than 48 hours in San Francisco.

At this point, one has to wonder if this is just stochastic terrorism, copycat crime or something worse.
Yes. What we’re seeing now is something like “permissioned scapegoating.”

The early wave of Covid bigotry—fueled by racist rhetoric—framed Asians as a legitimate target of opportunity. These attacks now have nothing to do with covid.

Asians have simply become a rage outlet.
Absolutely great point on civic failure amplification. Lack of healthcare, lack of housing, lack of opportunity all directly contribute to the impulse to lash out—and, especially in a city that’s 2/3 Asian, in a time when Asians are seen as “OK to attack,” Asians are easy targets

To those who feel it’s necessary to defend Jay Baker’s “bad day” quote by saying it was just a recital of Long’s words: Baker *put them into his own mouth* by paraphrasing them. He did not read a transcript.

Doing so frames Long with empathy that nonwhite criminals rarely get.
When cops paraphrase the words and describe the actions of Black suspects and even Black VICTIMS, it’s usually in a way that makes them seem more dangerous, or complicit in their own harm at the hands of law enforcement. We have seen that time and again.
By using subjective, empathic language in interpreting Long, Baker demonstrated how he saw him and how he wanted others to see him. This is what Baker said:
"He was pretty much fed up & kind of at the end of his rope. Yesterday was a really bad day for him & this is what he did"

Watching Snyder Cut and my reaction so far after 30 minutes is: so much worse money thrown after bad money
Would anyone understand anything that’s going on in this movie if they hadn’t watched the prior, also bad version
Snyder Cut is like someone ate a comic shop and all of the fanboys in it then regurgitated onto a 4:3 screen for four straight hours

When people talk about Asian sex work in tones that suggest that the victims of Robert Aaron along were somehow “asking for it” because they were engaged in an illicit activity, they speak volumes about their own ignorance on why America has an Asian sex work trade to begin with.
Think centuries of exotic sexualization of “the Orient,” reinforced by white supremacism, military conquest, colonial occupation, and a long history of media amplification of racist stereotypical images
Think of the Chinese Exclusion Act and how it banned Chinese men from bringing their wives to the US to prevent them from wanting to settle here, creating a situation where the only Chinese women in the US were undocumented sex workers—with clients who weren’t just Chinese

Man kills women, blaming them for his “addiction to sex”

But not “racially motivated,” because of course race has nothing to do with why Long visited Asian spas looking for sex
It’s total coincidence that he’d kill a bunch of women at an Asian massage parlor, then drive miles away to shoot more women at other Asian spas

It’s not about race at all, he just has a “type”
Wow I had a bad day yesterday and somehow managed not to murder six Asian women, I guess stress just hits different for white guys
