@TheNeedling It's just nature. Spring, Summer, Inferno, Autumn, Winter. The natural cycle of the five seasons.

Dammit, reality is now satire. I have heard people actually say things similar to this.

@TheNeedling Likewise, seeing the pictures of people sitting on some beach, with flames in the background really seem surreal and out of fiction but whelp....here we are. The memes became real.

@TheNeedling Would be top with a man. 98% of the arsonists giving a damn about climate crisis are men.

@TheNeedling “didn’t you know? The massive old trails fire in Spokane was arson, gotcha climate change losers!” -tons of idiots commenting under tv news clips on YouTube. As if it wasn’t the increasing extremes of weather that made it possible for that asshole’s fire to spread so fast and far, jumping the river and burning so many homes.

This is hilarious, though I do want to call one thing out.

"At press time Hayes had moved on to telling a grandson struggling to swim in her backyard pool that no one is going to help him until he stops flailing and splashing so hard."

This is unironically how lifeguards are trained to save people who are drowning. It's extremely dangerous to try to save someone who is actively thrashing around. You wait until they stop struggling and start to sink before you go get them.

@KittenKoder @TheNeedling It was a divine comedy from the beginning.
