From what I'm seeing, it's someone in Ethiopia using TextNow, and it's been going on since last year. https://www.idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/local-schools-targeted-in-nationwide-swatting-spree-police-throughout-region-respond-to-bogus-phone-calls/article_70965c3e-b2df-11ed-b90e-fb64c7085718.html

If this is the same person/people in Ethiopia using TextNow to spoof their calls, it's not going to be that simple. It's been going on for a while. But the FBI is investigating. Idk how much pull they have with Ethiopia. https://www.idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/local-schools-targeted-in-nationwide-swatting-spree-police-throughout-region-respond-to-bogus-phone-calls/article_70965c3e-b2df-11ed-b90e-fb64c7085718.html

That is SO WEIRD.

Overseas troll farms spoofing calls to report fake school school shootings? And calls made in alphabetical order?

Is it a low budget psy ops? Who is paying people in Ethiopia to make robocalls for false school shootings?

And this 3 days ago. Same person/people? Wtf? https://www.idahostatejournal.com/freeaccess/local-schools-targeted-in-nationwide-swatting-spree-police-throughout-region-respond-to-bogus-phone-calls/article_70965c3e-b2df-11ed-b90e-fb64c7085718.html

Reply to TIL In the 1980s, an obscene image was snuck into one of the ice cubes in a Coca-Cola ad in South Australia. The company recalled and destroyed all of the posters, and the artist responsible for the image was fired and sued. by 54_actual

Only because they were caught. If you look in old magazine ads (and probably some newer ones) look at the ads with ice cubes, water reflections, and even the shadows, you can see images and words, very subtle, but definitely not paredolia, it's intentional.

Reply to Is there anyway to get certain books in dyslexic font? by CombinationSimple968

My son is dyslexic. There's a couple things you can do.

Clear plastic yellow or pink overlay, and a piece of cardboard with a space cut out big enough that she can see 2 lines of font. You could make 2. One big enough for paperback, one big enough for hardback.

Try different colors, blue, pink, and yellow. I want to say that one color worked better for girls, and another color worked better for boys, but I can't remember which was which. Don't put them together with the cardboard until you see what works better for her. Or, she could use the cardboard alone.

My son said he would actually see the letters moving sometimes, so it wasn't just that letters and numbers were backwards or upside down.
