I’ve never been to SoCal, but apparently it’s pretty authentic and involves coffee, filters and tags.

Would you mind elaborating on that thought?

That the school would freak out over a clock, bring in the police, etc? That the police are going to assume that anything they can’t identify is a threat. That there could likely be a racial component too. Is that helping at all?

Oh, I see. You linked to my post, and I was wondering why someone would have such a strong reaction to an Instagram account!

woops! Thanks for pointing that out. For some reason the URL bar doesn’t always show the correct post number.

“It looks like a movie bomb.”
Really, that’s what you guys are reduced to? We militarize you and train in advanced weapons techniques for taking down the citizenry, but you fall back on HOLLYWOOD?!?!?!

No, but the time-since-posting in the upper-right of the post is a link to the post itself.
Did you spot the buried lede, though?
“He just wants to invent good things for mankind,” said Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, who immigrated from Sudan and occasionally returns there to run for president.

The really weird part of this article:
Women accidentally carrying a “twin’s” child
Lydia Fairchild’s paternity test was meant to be straightforward, proving to the courts that her two sons’ father was the person she said he was. When the test came back, however, Fairchild herself came up as a blank: there was no trace of her DNA in her own children.
The courts threatened to convict her of illegal surrogacy – they assumed it was a scam to gain benefits. Luckily, at around the same time, a scientific paper reported a similar case in which a woman was apparently not the biological mother of two of her three children. The reason was that she was a chimera: a case in which two twins had merged into one body early in development. Being the product of two different cell lines, some of her eggs carried a genome that was different from the rest of the body.
Needless to say, the discovery has caused Fairchild to question her own identity. “Telling my sons about this was the hardest part because I felt that part of me hadn’t passed on to them,” she told the website Jezebel. “I thought, ‘Oh, I wonder if they’ll really feel that I’m not quite their real mother somehow because the genes that I should’ve given to them, I didn’t give to them.’”
The article mentions that you can actually be a chimera with cells from a living twin too, and that happens with 8% of non-identical twins and 21% of triplets - so theoretically your living sister could be the genetic mother of your child.

I’m just wondering if it’s for the cover of some self-published yeti-themed romance book, or a really low-budget furry porn.

Rule 34 always applies. 7 billion people in the world, so there will enough in the extremes of the bell curve to support it.

This writer thinks it’s code for something else, and apparently bigfoot erotica isn’t even all that niche. The article claims that there are 586 results on Amazon, which means that 72 more have been added in less than three months.
