"I was wrong to follow the meanness of Conservatism. I should have been trying to help people instead of taking advantage of them. I don't hate anyone anymore. For the first time in my life I don't hate somebody."

‼️ Swatters are faking 911 emergencies with AI voices. About 14% of dispatchers told APCO, a US 911 dispatchers' group, they've been targeted with AI tools.
The fake callers say "uh" and "um" like real people. Some add AI gunfire or screaming in the background.
In August, NPR reports, an AI voice phoned in a bomb threat to a California high school, and classes were cancelled.
A forensic psychology professor told NPR he can clone his voice on ElevenLabs for under $20. He says the fakes are "going to be nearly impossible to detect."

A lot of [serial] women founders figured this piece out, certainly by midlife ...:

The tech industry was only ever truly innovative, pioneering + inventive when techbros didn't have consensual rape orgies, poly + other guaranteed sex with unwilling parties.

Today idols arise and demand our worship: success at any cost, money, an obsession with appearance, popularity, or the unrestrained pursuit of pleasure. Sometimes, in order to win the approval of others, we may go so far as to lie, betray, or humiliate someone on social media. Do not bow down before anything that cannot give you life. And if you have ever fallen, get back up. Do not allow anything or anyone to take away the freedom God has given you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina
Any PR person would do well to treat journalists as a primary customer.
You are there to facilitate *their* needs. It's the only way you'll ever earn their trust.
HINT: the trust piece applies to nearly every profession.
The audacity to think you’re above the profession adjacent to yours. There’s no journalism without PR and vice versa. No one is shaming you as a freelance writer whose job is dependent on pitching editors. You’d have no bylines without a follow up

You can just delete and move on.
Also, having guidance on how to pitch goes a long way: thedesk.net/about-us/pitch/ We cut down on a lot of irrelevant pitches this way.
We also encourage follow-ups, because we do miss things.
Some of our best stories have come from follow-ups.
