The worst things that happen are when students lock the door to a building, or when fascist counter protestors (often in police uniforms) show up and escalate shit.

Americans live in one of the police states of all time. Capitalism can only produce this result, there is no alternative, because the ruling class knows just as well as the socialists do that the contradictions will only keep getting worse and the protests will only keep getting bigger but of course instead of wanting to change the equation to produce a different result like the socialists do the capitalists want to cling to power by any means necessary.

If you HAD to choose between Communism and Fascism

Oh no, please don't force me to make this choice, it's impossible.

Slow news week? Just make some shit up!

Of course the post-gamergaters have been making shit up from the jump. Come to think of it so were the gamergaters and pre-gamergaters.

I feel like, because you can see the moon moving towards the sun for the hours leading up to the eclipse, and see it moving away from the sun in the hours afterward, you'd be able to put two and two together even if your sense of scale is way off.

Plus there's gonna be institutional knowledge whether you're agricultural or not - eventually you're going to see multiple eclipses, and eventually your tribe will have elders telling kids about them, and eventually someone will think to record when they happen and start being able to predict them.

Mar-a-Lager

Damn that's a good one Trump could become a billionaire again if he sold this.

I don't know why I felt compelled to look it up, it's exactly as awful looking as it sounds.

And then setting the car they're sitting in on fire.

I guess it's a very specific fetish? But if so it's extra gross because the character is like fourteen.

Your characters walk into a magic shop, but instead of buying magic items the shopkeeper offers to sell them scrolls of ownership. "There are infinite number of these scrolls," he explains, "but they all use a decentralized mechanism to determine ownership!"

"Okay, I'll buy one. Now where's my +1 sword?" The fighter asks.

"The scrolls say that you own it" the shopkeeper unhelpfully reiterates. "And every other scroll will be updated to agree that you own it."
