BETTING ON A WILDFIRE’S OUTCOME isn’t just limited to general prediction market platforms anymore. This year, ahead of what’s likely to be a busy fire season in the West, a new prediction market specifically focused on California fires was launched. Called “Wyldfyre,” it bears the tagline: “You can’t predict wildfire. But you can trade on it.” High Country News was unable to determine the platform’s owner or the owner of its website’s IP address; the website is opaque, with no contact information listed. Currently, Wyldfyre users can only simulate trading, but according to the site, the ability to bet with real money is “coming soon.” The platform purports to be the first prediction market of its kind, pricing county and city wildfire risk in real time. “California burns. Every year. And it’s getting worse. The question isn’t if — it’s where and when,” the site reads. It includes hotspot data from NASA and National Interagency Fire Center fire perimeters to help gamblers make predictions. Proponents of prediction markets say the platforms generate useful information through crowdsourcing. Wyldfyre frames its platform as providing a public good. “Wyldfyre turns collective intelligence into better wildfire forecasting — one trade at a time,” the site reads.

angryangryhippy posts: This is the biggest reason I hate 1st person. If I'm reading a book and the protagonist is talking about some "I" while doing the most mind-numbing bullshit, I'm tossing the book in the trash. Because I would never make *that* decision. Shawnna replies: OMG thank you, there's nothing more annoying than first person and it's a terrible character. "I" did not arrive at the frat party wearing no panties, THAT barnyard animal did and she's making a mess on all the furniture *closes book*.

By investing in a DAT, a money manager can outsource those logistics. But the DATs have proved risky, too. Many were launched quickly or are managed by executives who have little experience running public companies. Collectively, the firms have announced plans to borrow more than $20 billion to buy crypto, according to Architect Partners. “Leverage is how financial crises happen,” said Corey Frayer, a former crypto adviser to the S.E.C. “And this is creating a boatload of leverage.” Already some of the firms are struggling or facing management crises, leaving investors with losses.
Excerpt from Rueters article explaining the 432/440Hz conspiracy: “Did you know? Jimi Hendrix, along with John Lennon, Bob Marley and Prince all tuned their music to a specific FREQUENCY OF 432Hz! It is known as the “BEAT OF THE EARTH”, has substantial HEALING benefits, and ancient Egyptian and Greek instruments were discovered tuned to 432Hz.”, the meme reads. “However, since 1953 all music has been tuned to 440Hz. This frequency has NO SCIENTIFIC RELATIONSHIP with our universe and actually causes the brain to become agitated. The Nazis in WW2 used this frequency against their enemies to make them feel and think a certain way.”

“It’s a war, man,” Mr. Blanche told the crowd, speaking of Justice Department efforts to appeal unfavorable rulings. He criticized “activist judges" who he said were “more political or as political as the most liberal governor or D.A.” Mr. Mizelle, speaking on a panel, told a story about a call his father had made to the local Humane Society about a stray cat that was wandering through his yard. Mr. Mizelle compared judges to the felines. HIGHLIGHTED “I’m from Mississippi,” he recalled his father saying. “We know how to deal with stray cats.”

QT: When it’s more important to have clout with hypothetical defendants than opsec. Text: Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy. QT post continued: I want everyone to go out and protest tomorrow. I also want your masks on (a shemagh or keffieyeh is great for opsec and a minimal barrier against gas). I want you to wear gloves. I want you to be peaceful and show how absurd the opps are. I want you to leave your phone in your car/a safe space. ‪I want you to go with friends. I want you to coordinate meeting places if you are separated. I want you to have a central safe space where you can leave valuables like phones and come get them when you are done. I want you to have community networks for safety.
