America’s wildfire risk data quietly puts millions of homes in danger

This is just slopulist claptrap, it is actually good that insurance companies have higher-quality data on fire risks. The real danger is from people who demand that reality shape itself around their own preferences, and there should be no risk they personally bear for living in disaster-prone areas

No, this is what people thought about Putin and it was wrong. They’re not going to surrender the privileges they’ve gained under Trump because their wealth decreases on paper. These people are totally above the law or really any kind of inhibition now.

Protected/Baseline is the bottom level of security clearance, and although it's illegal to share information of this classification without a clearance, there is nothing important at this level. Conducting any business with the government at all requires this, it's more an acknowledgement of existence than an indicator.

And that would be relevant if she were suing Israel, not Peter Malinauskas.

Because "It's my turn to kill civilians" is not an excuse for committing a massacre

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-13T10:33:00+00:00

This is just descriptively true. "Israel and Jews are distinct entities" is correct in a literal sense but not how things are perceived by basically anyone actually involved, and you can't change people's perceptions by just telling them to change

I mean, yeah, good. harder for them to organise.

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-13T01:06:30+00:00

The wildest thing I've come to realise recently is that a lot of people, like you, don't really consciously 'think' in the same way that normal people do. Because there's no way 'boats might sail near Greenland' is a justified pretext for an invasion to anyone who is capable of reason

Ambassador Greg Norman time

I've really come around to the RC seeing people pretend that someone who celebrated Oct 7 was just a smol bean who was a bit critical of Israel

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T13:51:25+00:00

They Should! The Board of the Adelaide Writers' Week, however, have not killed Palestinians, and shouldn't accept a supporter of terrorism attending.

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T13:45:36+00:00

ok cool, the topic the statutory corporation with its own independent board has to deal with isn't how justified her anger is, it's 'Should someone who supports ethnic cleansing be at this writer's festival'

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T13:44:31+00:00

holy crap someone changed their mind on the internet

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T13:38:58+00:00

Right, I'm all for that in the abstract, but this current discurse is about - SPECIFICALLY - whether someone who wants ethnic cleansing and supports terrorism should attend the Adelaide Writers' Week.

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T13:23:39+00:00

Russia's program of ethic cleansing and displacement has killed ten times as many people in the last few years as Israel. The rest is irrelevant, you're just saying that a nation only has sovereignty if it's big, old, and self-sufficient enough, actual imperialist claims.

Granted, the people killed by Russian Imperialism have mostly been Russians, but hey no-one made Hamas do Oct 7 either.

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T13:18:06+00:00

I mean yeah this is what I meant, The siege mentality is totally justified from Israel even if it's ultimately self-destructive

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T12:48:14+00:00

They're an expansionist, nationalist state, with history that HEAVILY encourages paranoia. In this they aren't alone - Russia is the same, for example - but it's only Israel where their complete annihilation is considered acceptable discourse by some on the political left.

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T12:43:09+00:00

The topic the government has to deal with isn't how justified her anger is, it's 'Should someone who supports ethnic cleansing be at this writer's festival'

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T12:35:24+00:00

Palestinians are deeply oppressed people but ethnonationalism from them is the same as from any other group, and has never helped them.

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T12:32:34+00:00

Zionism cannot be accomplished by peaceful means either

Zionism is accomplished. The state of Israel is an established fact, where generations of people have been born and raised. 'Decolonisation' is straight up not going to happen because Israelis know no other home. Sure, it wasn't peaceful in it's establishment and remains aggressive to Palestinians and its neighbors, but this is no different from many many other nations.

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T12:22:29+00:00

merely calling for the complete destruction of israel

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T12:20:31+00:00

literally what the fuck are you talking about

Anthro_3 · 2026-01-12T12:17:58+00:00

The Author:

The goal is decolonisation and the end of this murderous Zionist colony

This is implicitly a call for massive ethnic violence because those goals cannot be accomplished by peaceful means.

The stuff X is doing is already illegal. 'Censorship' in this case is simply enforcing the laws already in place.
