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.

Exclusive: Government quietly agrees to repeal number of Treaty references in laws Ministers made the decision but until now hadn't told the public.

"It’s closed out. It's finished. We voted it down yesterday, and it's over, and we're moving forward." - Luxon

“Cremated and buried”. - Potaka

They lied. Despite over 90% of submitters opposed and massive divisions caused.

National Govt continues to roll it out. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Worth bearing in mind as NZ ramps up for a general election this year.

LOS ANGELES - URGENT! I'm heartbroken that my friend and neighbor has only a few days to live. We must find a loving forever home for her 2 kitties, Kit (F/grey/white) & Caboodle (M/black). Both 3-4yrs old, total sweethearts. Please ask around and send anyone interested my way, thank you ❤️

Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes Live Google wants its AI to see all the photos of "you and your loved ones." Billions of users must now decide.

“Take a moment to think before you dive in. That’s the best advice for Google Photos users, as the company confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation.”

no one likes historians because every time someone says “oh this is unheard of”

historians are all like “well actually”

and fundamentally it just doesn’t sound as impressive if you have to say
“in these slightly precedented times”

Screenshot of a long post by Megan that reads: I love books. Physical books I can hold in my hands. Spines I can run my fingers down. Pages I can turn & dog-ear (I know, I know) & underline. Well-worn copies lining the library shelves, read by who knows how many others. My own copy I can lend to a friend. Thick volumes I can feel the weight of in my hands & slim poetry collections I can flip through again & again (& feel the weight of in my heart). These things are irreplaceable, unchangeable, return-to-able. Real & sturdy, in a way I need them to be. Books. Books forever.

Virginia to legalize 'balcony solar' as more states advance legislation: 'Removes all kinds of barriers' Virginia is changing the game with new laws allowing plug-and-play solar panels, making clean energy accessible to more residents.

This is a trend that should be legalized in every state and country. Balcony solar allows renters and others who could otherwise not benefit from reduced utility bills to tap into the power of solar. Is it legal in your region? www.thecooldown.com/green-home/v...

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them

Another great love letter to the future. My favorite quote:

“You (Mr. CEO) say you work 80 hour weeks? I thought you said you were good at your job.”

Just want to be clear that when RFK Jr. said in the hearing today that he is “overhauling” the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, it is because this administration wants to reduce the number of services that health insurance companies are required to cover.

Story spider senses — the child time traveller is like Cassandra: knows the future but everyone ignores/dismisses them.

At press conference yesterday Luxon announced the govt will be drafting a bill to ban under 16s from social media, to be introduced before the election. Unclear whether it is the same as the current members bill. He said it will follow the Australian law. #nzpol
