The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.
He was not dead.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Book sales comprised 1% of my earnings last year. This is typical for many writers, especially those traditionally publishing.
At AWP in LA this year, I'm moderating a panel where writers will be transparent about their earnings. Mark your calendars: 10:35 a.m. on Sat, March 29, Bookfair stage.

Really important if, like me, you use MS Word to write novels, stories, blog posts or anything you hope to sell. AI scraping shouldn’t be an opt-out, sneakily hidden away in settings to dissuade you from disabling it, but here we are.

Thread perhaps worth a read, consider, research and caution.
1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).
