But a 2016 investigation by The Los Angeles Times found that many people who registered as American Independent Party voters had checked that box thinking they were registering as independents.

The list of people who had mistakenly registered with the American Independent Party included the actresses Emma Stone and Demi Moore; the owner of The Los Angeles Times, Patrick Soon-Shiong; and Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Today in #WTFUX, I saw an Instagram photo dump (e.g. without specific context) showing a voice-activated paper towel dispenser with a ridiculous sticker explaining you need to say "paper towel now" and Googled to find out that's it's a prank sticker. You can buy these stickers and put 'em in public bathrooms to mess with people.

I would love to know how Bellroy arrived at this list of UK subdivisions in their checkout process 😂 #wtfux

(for non-UK folk: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland + Wales are countries; Cambridgeshire, Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Surrey, and West Sussex are counties within England; and Richmond-upon-Thames is a town of ~200k in the south-west of London, which is also an option)
