Violence erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles after pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian campus encampment. Bubbling tensions on the campus boiled over following the alleged breach of a "buffer zone" between the rival groups.
‘Court allows Texas to ban porn websites’ is closer to the truth. None of them have the ability (or desire) to implement a system to accurately verify anyone’s identity.
Why I think this is dystopian: the rich are spending their money to fly their pets on private jets instead of, I don't know, giving a shit about anyone but themselves. And the government lets them. So, while we gasp at grocery prices, Ivanka Trump's dog will be flying first class.
It’s the legal maximum fine for this, and there are still three other charges that will be discussed this week. It’s very much possible that Trump may see the inside of a jail cell, but that remains to be seen.
Alright, I’m gonna need the state to secede so the US military comes in and rolls the fuck over our stupid-ass state government so we might actually see some relative sanity restored to office in my lifetime.
This is (kinda) part of The Witcher books. Ciri hops universes and gets stuck on Earth during the black plague. When she hops back to her own universe, she unknownly takes a bit back with her, thus starting the Catriona plague on The Continent.
Probably, but as far as I’m aware ‘The Continent’ as a name only came into being with the awful Netflix show.

You say this as if the stress of working our collective asses off for far too many hours leaves us with the time or willpower to spend the time to both go shopping and cook whatever it is we just bought.
The average modern person, by one calculation, spends more than 1,600 hours a year to pay for their cars, their insurance, fuel and repairs. We go to jobs partly to pay for the cars, and we need the cars mostly to get to jobs. We spend four of our sixteen waking hours on the road or gathering the resources for the car....
…and it won’t matter a bit until we come together and topple the oil companies, the car companies, the pipeline companies, and the government that bends over backwards to support them.
Imagine assuming the worst about people because of what they call themselves, then wasting all that time and effort when a simple google search would show you that the name doesn’t mean what you assumed it to mean.
