I remember a story at the beginning of the Arab Spring. A student journalist tweeted, "Arrested" to his few followers and it went viral. https://mashable.com/archive/twitter-get-out-of-jail

Ha, true! I burn easy, I hate missing a spot when applying sunscreen. For her sake, I hope it's both.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn Grok is a cell of unpaid prisone... interns typing out responses.

Yeah, she really really pale, or coated in sunscreen.

What happens if someone gets married a lot and keeps needing a new card with new name?

Now I'm wondering what the maximum number of times someone has been married. Elizabeth Taylor was married 8 times (twice to Burton, so she could have reused that one if she kept it) But if she took her husband's last name legally (while keeping her stage name) each time, she would have been pushing the limit, and over it if she went back to her maiden name, lost any cards, or didn't keep old ones... Or if her lawyers were like, don't change your name legally again after husband 5?

In slight fairness, your employer has to set up payroll so that part of your paycheck automatically goes to Social Security. So they kind of need it, since there's not another way to track that you get proper credit for paying in to Social Security. Unless you are self employed and you send the money directly in yourself.

Someone commented somewhere that I can't find now... Trump as Plague (covid, firing bird flu, ebola teams), Putin as War, and Netanyahu as Death. With Doge also trying to end USAid, Snap, contracts and programs our farmers rely on, and Social Security... that tracks well for Famine.

I don't believe in it, but the idea haunts me that people are trying to force it to happen.

I think they are counting on 2024 being our last elections.

Question: IF he were to surrender, would he be deported to the UK or to a South American prison?

If it's the latter, can he cross into Canada and just go home for his safety?

I'm not saying he should, I'm asking what his options are.

For anyone else reading this phrase for the first time: "Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence.[1] A key element of stochastic terrorism is the use of media for propagation, where the person carrying out the violence may not have direct connection to any other users of violent rhetoric." - Wikipedia
