In the man's defence, the phone was a Samsung S22+ in Sky Blue.

The last major eruption there was apparently in 1944, had thought it was later than that.

From news.com.au, the gutter news site of the World.

They are saying that the posters on Atlas forums who red avatars don't like are about to take over Italy.

It's an unspoken name.

Online, people who say that name over a headset in Battlefield always (90%) pronounce it as "Macklenzie".

Another F1 driver, Lando Norris suffered the same fate in London.

Boat arrivals from Africa to Italy over the last two months have risen sharply.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65235579

"Italian ministers have called a six-month state of emergency in response to a rise in migrant numbers crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa."

after two thousand years as a naval base, in the 16th century North African slavers depopulated the entire island, maybe they feel bad and are trying to replace them?

A bit alarmist, I agree.

I am surprised they just don't get a boat and take them back.

The island is actually much closer to Africa than Italy.
