Ah, I um, have allegedly started the fire.

@mcc "it was always burning, and we keep on feeding it" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

@mcc the five stages:

We Didn't Start The Fire

We Don't Recall If We Started The Fire

We Were Present When The Fire Was Started But We Did Not Take Part

We Arguably Started The Fire

Ok Yeah Fair Cop It Was Us

@gsuberland United States 2026: We Didn't Start The Fire, Moreover It Is A Good Thing The Fire Started And Starting The Fire Was Perfectly Legal

[michaelgemar@mstdn.ca]

@mcc “Look, we’re all trying to figure out who started this” say person holding lighter and a big can marked ‘gasoline’.

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@mcc you've just reminded me of my favourite Russell Howard line

"It's legal! It's legal!" "Yeah but so's dressing up as Hitler and hiding in your nan's wardrobe. Doesn't mean you should do it. Have some moral decorum."

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@gsuberland this may or may not be legal depending on your precise relationship with your nan

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@mcc also blanket illegal regardless in some jurisdictions. but one would hope that nobody would test this. alas...

[aka_quant_noir@hcommons.social]
