I suspect the hand sanitizer story is a fake. Even two days later, I could only find one followup but the source links don't resolve. Click at your own risk, it's a sketchy site with a fake virus alert. The most complete story is near the bottom, where it says the situation was resolved peacefully with no injuries, police impounded the bottle of sanitizer as evidence, and there's a lot of needlessly wordy worthless speculation. It takes pains to reassure the public which has no doubt entered a high state anxiety as a result of this chaotic event. https://countylocalnews.com/2024/07/29/armed-suspect-hand-sanitizer-weapon-police-respond-to-armed-suspect-with-hand-sanitizer-in-oakland/
Loved the ancient skull!

I guess there’s no follow-up because the man calmed down and went home. :)
That site looks like AI-generated spam.
The fact that my high anxiety was caused by AI spam has made me even more anxious. <groping for the pharmaceuticals>
That dog was absolutely cute!
Wonderful! Just completely wonderful! Fortunately our overlords still let us laugh!
LOL I am stealing a few of these!
So many good ones this week!
