For those people like me thinking “WTF is a worry stone?”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worry_stone

Worry stones are smooth, polished gemstones, usually in the shape of an oval with a thumb-sized indentation, used for relaxation or anxiety relief.

Something one would fidget with when worried, I suppose.

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/evacuate#Verb

2. To cause (or help) to leave or withdraw from.

   “The firefighters decided to evacuate all the inhabitants from the street.”

Hence: “Passenger plane catches fire at South Korean airport. All 176 on board evacuated” → “[A] passenger plane catches fire at a South Korean airport. All 176 people on board [were] evacuated [from the plane]. ”

Note that in the linked Wiktionary entry, there is an attested usage from 1943. It isn’t exactly youth slang. It is, however, the sense with the most recent attested usage among all of those listed.

Full-blown Musk off, huh?

They’re out and out being Proud Boys™, good for them, I guess? Bad for everyone deemed undesirable, of course.

This would have been the job of the national archives and/or the national library.

Where I live, the government has a law stipulating that one copy every published material has to be submitted to the national library. I suppose a similar law exists for a lot of other countries, and extending this law to non-print media (like movies and TV shows) shouldn’t be controversial.

Regarding material deemed harmful and/or illegal, I think it should still be collected, but access would be restricted. If need be, access could be restricted to “premises-only” like what is done in a lot of university libraries.

Having this online library of material doesn’t have to mean that pirates have to be stamped out. I think this works best with the pirates keeping the government-sponsored media library honest.

However, what I think would be more plausible is an offline library of all the media that country has produced, with limited off-premises access afforded to researchers and others. That much, I think, would be allowed by the real powers that be.
