Receiving multiple emails going into great AI generated detail about my books before pitching some lame incentive at me. Proves the bot has flouted my intellectual property and that it's not above a little creative marketing.worrying.

@JeremyClarkson Post 50 one's eyesight becomes a little squiffy. Made from what.?? Was thinking our cat would make a nice, if rather small muff and feel encouraged to give it a go now. Cheers!
@virginhelp Total incompetence. Virgin Broadband install date 7th Jan. Website inaccurate. Engineer couldn't install. 18th told we're not going to be installed till Feb 10th. Engineers today couldn't get cable in. On the phone tonight for 40 mins. 7 agents. No service.
โMy heart was warmed at Wal-Mart during lunch.
This gentleman's items were scanned and he was given the total. He looks apologetically back at me and starts taking handfuls of change out of his pockets.
He miscounts and starts to get flustered. Gives me a muttered, "I'm so sorry." His hands and voice are shaking.
This beautiful cashier takes his hands dumps all the change on the counter and says, "This is not a problem, honey. We will do this together."
He continues to apologize to both of us as we reassure him it's ok. They get his transaction handled and he shuffles away.
I looked at this wonderful woman and said, "Thank you for being so patient with him."
She shakes her head and replies, "You shouldn't have to thank me, baby. What's wrong with our world is we've forgotten how to love one another."
I want to be more like her.โ

JON SLAMS THE GOP: Friends, there's something timeless about witnessing Jon Stewart completely exposing the Republican party's hypocrisy in every possible way. In this incredible video, Jon Stewart challenges Republican Senator Nathan Dahm from Oklahoma about his proposal to ban drag show readings for children. Stewart questions Dahm about the implications for free speech and challenges him to explain what he is trying to protect. This astonishing clip exemplifies just how to dismantle Republican hypocrisy. You should definitely watch it, it's truly amazing. #WeAreBlue1 #wtpBLUE
Anyone else object to Musk monetising our historical data so he can make even more money from AI? I think we should unite and insist we are paid for any AI mining of our intellectual property.

Utterly bizarre that @BBCNews bulletins tonight aired a claim from privacy campaigners that client side scanning โas a matter of fact simply doesnโt exist.โ Reflecting disagreements on its use is one thing, but amplifying disinformation is quite another.
I'm back in the UK!
After a month in China, traveling to 5 cities in 3 provinces, I feel I've touched 0.000001% of what China has to offer.
Unimaginable beauty, endless history, incredible food &, above all, family โค๏ธ
Excited to get back to music now! It's festival season ๐ฅณ
Does anyone else feel that when the blue bird flew the nest and the black X landed, they no longer recognise their feed? Has everyone left, or am I just not seeing you? I guess I am sending that question into a black hole where #Twitter used to be #RIPTwitter ๐
@labisiffre So sad to hear this. Somehow it has to end. Churches and church-goers need to lead on this, not be a part of the problem. One thing is for sure, racism doesn't represent Jesus.
Already got the "You look part [insert native ethnic group]" comment in China lol.
Don't know what it is about my genes (see below), but everywhere I've visited people ask if I have heritage there!
It's like people see a bit of themselves in me and it makes me feel welcome ๐
In 2015-17, I met with @PostOffice weekly, in London, on behalf of their statutory watchdog. Our team was not scrutinising #Horizon but it was clear to me that #POL was morally bankrupt/corrupt. This explains how much:
