Interesting shit here:

Winston Peters fans coalition flames with asset sale rebuke

1/2
It’s the first law of political thermodynamics. If a brushfire breaks out in public, however big it seems to be, the real scale of the conflagration will be 2 to the power of X times bigger. So it follows that behind the extraordinary attack this week by Foreign Minister and NZ First leader Winston Peters on National’s talk of asset sales as “tawdry and silly”, spiced up with criticisms of the Coalition’s inability to get the economy moving quickly enough, is a fire in the Beehive that threatens to set the place alight. It has, or course, been smouldering for a long time, and there were other recent signs the flames are beginning to lick higher. Not least was the “I” versus “we” spat that broke out between Peters and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon over how the credit for the Government’s overseas successes should be shared. This week in the House Peters – for no other reason – decided to move government procedural motions in the form of “we move” rather than “I move”. Luxon fueled the feud by reminding Peters – in light of his criticisms over the economy – that decisions are made by all Cabinet ministers round the table: We. By implication, Peters shares any blame for the economic performance. As the woo-woo team-builders used to say, there is no “i” in “teams”. But there are clearly two “i” s in “coalition”. Peters’ attacks on the Coalition’s economic record, as well as his willingness to hand the Opposition a weapon just to make his point, is Campaign Kryptonite for the Opposition to wield, in any other week would have hogged the headlines for days. Quite rightly it was overshadowed – if that’s the right word - by the egregious and anti-constitutional police behaviour brought to light by the Independent Police Conduct Authority’s report and by the messy and unresolved meltdown in Te Pāti Māori, which saw two of its six MPs expelled, two others in limbo and the party’s future in severe doubt. But make no mistake; Peters’ “no asset sales, sunshine” line (my words not his, but his words if you know what I mean) on Morning Report is an important inflection point, not least in the attitudes the coalition parties will bring to the campaign. Add National’s likely reprised campaign on changes to superannuation – anathema to Peters – and there are two “third rail” issues that National touches at its peril. Peril not only from voter reactions, but for future coalition building. At best the issues will be left on the post-election negotiating-room floor. At worst, they will be key roadblocks to a deal with Peters that do not exist on the other side of the aisle. With poll support for the governing and opposition blocs on a knife edge the last thing you would think National should do is push NZ First towards Labour. Unless (speculation alert) it is trying to win back Act votes to bolster its numbers as Labour ekes out a persistent lead. On Peters’ side is he preparing wriggle room for a deal with either National or Labour, as he has before? He has ruled out Labour under Hipkins, but what if National insisted in the election campaign on smashing a couple of his icons – no asset sales and no changes to superannuation entitlements? Would he, as least on the hustings, find a way to parlay his position into a more equivocal one “in the interest of NZ”?

To this lively conflagration of companions scattered across the world, I would dare offer a courteous good night. Your presence carried the feel of colleagues gathered around a polished table, each voice adding timbre to discourse with intelligence and poise.

#FDR led us to victory in the greatest conflagration in history.

FDR was a democratic socialist.

Both statements are true.

The question By Pat Grieco The question will come, perhaps not today, perhaps not tomorrow, but it will come spurred by the smallest thing, a sound, a sight, a fragment of a memory ignited into a full-blown conflagration of remembrance, regret, and guilt. Why did I survive when they did not? I did nothing different. Others were equally worthy, had just as much to live for, had loved ones waiting for them, people praying for them, with the future depending upon their return. But they did not and everything that was theirs, dreams, hopes, destinies, is gone denied by fate, by chance, by cruelty, by hatred, and the endless vagaries of a world gone mad. Why was I saved when they were not? Why am I alive when they are dead? There are no answers. There cannot be. And that lack haunts, troubles, torments, despite no outward sign of the turmoil within. Was it as simple as being lucky when they were not? Does it all come down to an inch there, a hesitation in the moment, a chance taken, or not? Why? In the dark of night, in the light of day, the question will come. Some will make peace with it. Some never will.

I presume that means ppl can flee from a fire before it becomes a conflagration. I hope any MPs or staff with physical disabilities are fully aware of the risks they are under.

On November 15, 2008, the hills ignited in two places. A large conflagration merged and burned across several days. Tens of thousands of people evacuated. More than 30,000 acres burned to the ground. More than 300 homes destroyed and/or damaged. What is your advice to new neighbors?

Yeah, I've been thinking the whole thing ends with a big conflagration, like in the Cagney movie "White Heat".

i used to go to the Starwood festival in Sherman ny back in the 90s, and they had these epic bonfires that took all week to build, and they got loaded with different metal shavings or powders, that all burn different colors as the night went on
a bonfire being constructed with heavy machinery. pagans wander through the foreground. the same bonfire in full conflagration, a huge puppet silhouetted dancing around it.

Sometimes you have a literal on-field infinite (on burn, gain regen and on regen, burn) and it's not quick enough.

That's _after_ getting Conflagration with Pizza. Game was stacked! Just ran into better opponents 😂

I shared one earlier, but here's a second, from a prelude:

#SFFChat
“The sun! The sun has spotted us!” The expansive ball of fire passed beneath the Queen’s Vessel Briganda, all too slowly for its crew’s comfort. Forewatchman Albannog called to his mates regarding the change in the solar disk’s character. He silently thanked the people of the Briganda’s last port of call for their gift of obsidian-lensed goggles he wore. Without them, the sun would have been a blinding, featureless plain of fiery death, instead of the roiling mass of currents of flame, and shadows in light hinting at the intelligence therein, resolving across the orb as a giant, glowing eye, staring judgingly at the speck of a vessel that dared traverse its surface. “Albannog, watch for salamanders! Orantia, stick to the ley line! And above all, for Queen and Land, protect her cargo!” Captain Clurachaun watched the crew jump at his commands. Albannog leaned out over the prow, trusting a web of silken threads to keep him from falling into the conflagration below. Orantia focused on the giant amethyst before her, her eyes glowing lavender as she sang to the crystal monolith that turned with her voice, to keep the Briganda aligned with the ley line leading home.

and I feel compelled to mention that this is the sort of thing that people have used judicial resources for *since forever* and it's a very good use of resources because it allows a third party to mediate a dispute that could very well become a conflagration.

Rebirth the psyche.
I sire conflagration of minds.
A new emotion.
The broken branch only roots
when the earth finds its body.

absolutely top tier ship name. HMS Conflagration...say what you will about the royal navy but they can name the hell out of a ship

14 Nov 1781 // Leaky 8-gun fireship HMS Conflagration flooded unstoppably off Cape Henry, Virginia, and was abandoned. Her wreck was set on fire, thus fulfilling the promise of her name despite her waterlogged state. All her crew were safely taken off by HMS Aeolus. #RoyalNavy #NavalHistory

I'm not sure, the account I have simply says that she was cruising off Cape Henry with HMS Aeolus - they may have been part of the naval operation covering the withdrawal. The Conflagration had only been purchased (in New York) in September 1781, previously the merchantman Loyal Oak.

Also - this was one month following Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown. As this is local history for me (I live in Williamsburg) maybe I should read up on the activities of British forces following the surrender... was Conflagration assisting in the withdrawal?

Cheers reboot where Norm walks in and everyone is like "Nor-" and then a huge gasoline truck hits the bar and everyone horrifically dies in a nightmarish conflagration

The rest of the show is about all their families dealing with their sudden deaths, it's a corny drama ala this is us

Dear pedo defending Republicans:

If you have any shred of decency, turn on him NOW. You know this will end in a conflagration.

You may still salvage an iota of dignity.
