At least this AI scammer admits that they only engaged with the description of my book? I appreciate the honesty.

“The tentpole event of the conference was a conversation between Hines and accused rapist Russell Brand, who is currently out on bail (his trial is scheduled for June 2026 in the UK) and who I saw entering the hotel wearing just a bathrobe.”

Reading Nuzzi’s glossy tale of woe told from a Mustang in Malibu while there are so many talented, ethical journalists struggling to make ends meet is an indictment of how far this profession has fallen to elite control. Success has become more of a riddle than a road map.

I always prefer listening to memoirs and personal essay books, because I think the author’s literal voice gives so much to their written one.
And never has been truer than with @maris.bsky.social great new book, because she also cracks herself up, and you can hear it! 💛
