Dispatches from the Slacktivist Rebellion
In British Columbia, a hungry osprey dropped a fish onto a power line, sparking a brush fire and knocking out electricity. Locals used 4,800 gallons of water to extinguish the blaze. The osprey? Unbothered. Possibly trying to cook its catch.
Ashcroft Fire Rescue posted: âAnother suspicion could be that itâs tired of raw fish and wanted to give cooked a try.â Slacktivists now refer to the bird as Comrade Crispy, patron saint of chaotic resistance.
âSometimes the revolution is a bird with bad aim.â
Closing Transmission
The system is fragile.
The fish are flammable.
And the news?
Not necessarily.
