The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

A hardcover book called The Long Shoe, written by Bob Mortimer. The title is written in a large white font, with the subtitle โA mystery with 3 or 4 subjectsโ. There is also a minimalist illustration of an office building with four windows illuminated and a surveillance camera pointing at it. There is a sticker on the cover that says โSigned by authorโ.

SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time โ almost 200 years earlier than predicted โ following the Mayorโs "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.
People online are just constantly saying stuff, and I understand maybe 10% of it at this point. So this is what getting old feels like then
