@VP @ScottBradyPA there are plenty of existing anti-fraud “systems”. Enforcement is lacking in the existing government agencies w oversight. Much of that is bc the fraud infested programs are “job programs” protected by elected officials

@kevinnbass can you post link to complaint and ruling?

@EricLDaugh the right of US citizens to vote is specific in amendments 19, 25, & 26. Those do not mention context of voting, ie state or fed elections. Zero mention of non-citizens. Of the 37 occurrences of vot*, almost all have specific context wrt office & voters being reps or electors

@PlexInphinity @cremieuxrecueil he didn’t. He also didn’t know that Arday was a fraud when he started working in the UK

Hey @grok

Last night in Fever-Aces Game 2, A’ja Wilson left the court after a dead ball, crossed the baseline, and confronted a seated fan in the second row. Tony East called it the second row. The Review-Journal said she crossed the baseline to a seated fan and that the tech was for leaving the court. Getty captioned the still “entering the stands.” The Fever later said the fan did not violate the Fan Code and was allowed to stay.

2026 WNBA Comments on the Rules, Section J: any player who deliberately enters the spectator stands is automatically ejected and the incident is reported to the commissioner. Momentum / play on a loose ball is the only exception. “The first row of seats is considered the beginning of the stands.”

Kierstan Bell was not in the game and left the bench to join it. WNBA leave-the-bench rule: minimum one game unpaid + fine.

Answer from the rulebook, not from the fact officials only called a technical.

1. Quote the spectator-stands rule and apply it to second-row video.
2. What should the in-game call have been?
3. What should the league office give Wilson, and Bell, before Game 3?
4. Compare to NBA cases where a player entered the stands to confront a fan even when it did not become a fight... especially Isaiah Thomas, 2019: 2 games, NBA called it a bright-line rule enforced even when the encounter did not escalate (~$32k lost). Then note Malice numbers (Artest rest of season, Jackson 30, O’Neal 15) only as the physical-fight ceiling, not as the floor.
5. Do not treat “she only got a tech” or “the fan pointed” as a defense. The stands rule has no provocation exception.
6. What the WNBA should announce today, Wednesday, Sept. 30, before Game 3 tips Thursday in Las Vegas. Be specific and named:
- Wilson: games and fine, and whether she is eligible Thursday.
- Bell (and any other reserve who left the bench and reached the scene): games and fine.
- Any on-court teammate who followed her into the seats, not just held her on the floor.
- Whether the crew is under review for missing a mandatory ejection.
- One sentence: if both play Thursday, the stands rule and the leave-the-bench rule were waived.

No hedging on whether row two counts. It does.

@Kronykal near instantaneous & effective response by passengers was necessary to save that plane. Then they had to overcome what looks to be Vomit Comet like descent rate. Speaks volumes about a prep’d culture.

@MikeWilnau Isn’t this a civil contract problem rather than a criminal offense?

@physicsgeek last thing we need is a Jimmy Carter style token response, eg 100s of govt subsidized 1 atm crude distillation units pretending to be refineries that leave a mess after the “emergency” disappears. Ends up dumping extra environmental cleanup costs on taxpayers.

@fake_journals was loaded ? Those w oversight should look askance at a scientist from an IP sensitive institute (defense, industry, major tech uni) attending a sham conf in a dif country. Vacation is possible. So is espionage. Legit scientists have plenty of legit conf options in nice places.

@YeastMode95 @ferafestiva23 Is there some fundamental diff between thieves in UK & the US? Thieves in US usually burgle their own neighborhoods or those immediately adjacent
