GenAI is plunder, pass it on (a comic)

This is truly an insane thing for a public health person to say.

Outright eugenics.

RFKJR needs to GO ASAP.

In a nutshell. 😊

I see what you did there.

You're both whippersnappers.

Now, here, have a butterscotch.

They're gonna hate it when they end up with nerve damage/chronic pain (PHN) from shingles. And I'm gonna have a hard time giving them any sympathy.

I'm right there with you! Unless my doc says there's a specific medical reason that I personally shouldn't get a vaccine or booster, I'm team Gimme the Shot.

They are SOOOOOOOOO hard!

I'm hanging in there. Trying to keep busy!

I need to get better at messaging, too. But I'm always thinking about you and sending you good thoughts!

Taika knocking a toy downstairs, racing after it, grabbing it in her mouth, and running back upstairs with it.

Over and over and over again. 🥰

This is what I mean when I say this kitten is self-entertaining.

I really need to get video of it to show potential adopters.

I hope we can all get some good moments and smiles. Look for the sparkle in your days. We gotta find some and hold on.

Oh, I hate that feeling! I hope the shower and comfy clothes banish it for you. 🫂

What he had was a gun.

Little overachievers!

That is just... so... COOL!

Are they trundling *already*?! 😲

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary Tim Curry! 🖤

A contact form reads: Subject: Checking Authenticity Body of message Hi there Beth. I have been contacted by someone who is using the email, [email blacked out], and using you name and one of your novels 'Feast of the Starving Stone: The Chef’s Five' to engage with me as a fellow author - if it is you then great, if it is not, as i suspect, then this is a fake approach. I just wanted to be sure. thanks. [signed name blacked out] You're a real person, right? No, I'm a bot. Please don't include existential questions in a contact form. Yes.

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID.

Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name.

No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

Good deed done for the day. Spotted our neighbors' elderly pibble Yogi wandering around loose outside. Those neighbors weren't home, so with the help of other neighbors, we guided Yogi back into his yard and "fixed" the gap in the fence where he got out.

Taunting himself with his own tail! 🤣

(((((hug)))))

I adore that kitten!

A small black cat with a nubbin tail curled up on a gray blanket on the ottoman where my feet currently are. Every time I try to move, she gives me A Look. I guess I live in this chair now.
