There sure do seem to be a lot of ways to not say "The United States is threatening to commit war crimes."

Screen grab of text: "According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, power plants are considered civilian infrastructure and should not be attacked because doing so "may cause the release of dangerous forces and consequent severe losses among the civilian population."

The ICRC notes that an exception could be made only if the plants provide "regular, significant and direct support of military operations and if such attack is the only feasible way to terminate such support."

Now, to be fair, the odds of my going to a “local” SF convention are insanely low anyway, but they’ve functionally converged on zero, with the combination of the recent actions by the Hilton corporation, and the fact that most of the conventions are held in Hilton owned chains.

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing. However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.
