It's bad, it's unnerving, but no, Los Angeles is not "being completely wiped out." This kind of performative doomerism is so fucking exhausting.

Fascinating to watch the Hyperbolists rise up in indignation against your obviously correct statement Before too long, they will start complaining that statements like this are violence against them How dare you point out reality to them

massive fire in pasadena too. no planes are doing drops anymore cause of the wind and will only continue til tomorrow. this could be one of the worst fires in california history that’s not hyperbole

You're more obsessed with the semantics of her using the word "completely" than with the fact that large portions of LA are being wiped out. I don't know what you get out of this but word policing like this is annoying.

No, not large portions. The truth is, this is a major story because it’s rich white folks losing their homes up in Malibu/Palisades. I feel bad for them, but if these fires were happening in Corona or Palmdale, no one would care.

I have friends out of state who were concerned that I might be endangered by the wildfires. I told them I live in North Hollywood, surrounded by miles and miles of asphalt and concrete. I think I'll be okay.
